HIBISCUS KING COCONUT WATER

The King Coconut (Cocos nucifera aurantiaca) is indigenous to Ceylon (currently known as Sri Lanka) thus, not found anywhere else in the world.  One look at the bold, brightly colored, bountiful clusters of golden husks, and you are instantly aware of King Coconut’s superiority over ordinary coconut. While ordinary coconut water typically needs the addition of refined sugars to please the palate, no such adulteration is necessary with the King.  King Coconut packs more potassium in 8oz than a banana and more amino acids (alanine, arginine, cysteine, and serine) than cow’s milk. King Coconut water is a perfectly balanced symphony of energy, nutrients, mineral and electrolyte content with sodium, magnesium, zinc, calcium, selenium and manganese, among others. King Coconut water is nature’s Vitamin B complex, containing thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), and folate (B9) –  in addition to Vitamin C and an impressive array of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.  

A superfood is rich in compounds beneficial to one’s health. King Coconut water is nature’s perfect electrolyte beverage, fortified with vitamins and antioxidants. In this regard, King Coconut is most certainly a well-rounded superfood.

We infused unsweetened, organic King Coconut water with Hibiscus flower (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) to create the ultimate soothing and replenishing beverage with additive and synergistic health benefits of both these ingredients.

The dozen or so varieties of Coconut in the world can be classified into two broad categories: 

1. Common Coconut (Brown Coconut or green Coconut)
2. King Coconut (native to the island of Sri Lanka)

King Coconut water, simply put, is perhaps nature’s best health drink – the standard bearer of perfection. No other beverage – natural or manufactured – can come close to the perfect balance of electrolytes, osmolality, energy and goodness contained in King Coconut water. It is astonishingly close in constitution and our own plasma – so much so it is medically used as a well-rounded and balanced oral rehydration solution. Due to its ideal composition, King Coconut water is widely used by both traditional and Western medical professionals in Sri Lanka in the treatment of dengue fever. It is the perfect solution for replenishing fluids and electrolytes following excessive exhaustion and sweating, as well as gastrointestinal fluid loss through vomiting and diarrhea. If you experience the refreshing and rejuvenating effects of true Ceylon King Coconut water, be if after a strenuous workout, an illness, or at the end of a hot and humid day, you will truly appreciate the remarkable refreshing rejuvenation provided by this ‘Nectar of the Gods’.

King Coconut water is naturally sweeter than ordinary coconut water. The sweetness makes King Coconut water a highly sought after beverage when rapid, refreshing rejuvenation is required, such as after intense exercise, exertion, or at the end of a hot and humid day. King Coconut water’s sweetness comes from a blend of natural sugars including glucose, fructose and sucrose, and does not carry the harmful health effects of artificially processed, refined sugars. Most coconut water beverages have added sugar to make it more palatable. However, due to the natural sweetness of King Coconut water, we at Nature’s Rare DO NOT add even one grain of sugar into our unsweetened king coconut beverages.

Nature sets the gold standard in optimal rehydration solution with Ceylon King Coconut. King Coconut water is nothing short of a perfectly balanced symphony of energy, nutrients, mineral and electrolyte content blended in ideal osmolality, and packed with the goodness of potent antioxidants and bioactive enzymes. King Coconut water is nature’s ideal rehydration beverage. Contents include optimal balance of sodium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, calcium, glucose, fructose, sucrose, soluble fiber, amino acids including L-arginine and vitamin C, along with micronutrients including selenium, methionine, zinc, iodine, manganese, boron and molybdenum. King Coconut water is nature’s Vitamin B Complex, containing thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), and folate (B9).

A. Isotonicity
King Coconut water is nature’s most complete isotonic drink. With an osmolality similar to that of our own plasma, King Coconut water is the perfect solution to rehydration and rejuvenation after exercise, exertion, sweat loss, or gastrointestinal fluid loss (vomiting, diarrhea). In fact, in cases of severe vomiting or diarrhea, replacing fluid loss with water alone can be dangerous, and if done in excess, fatal. In certain situations where solute replacement is as important as rehydration, as in gastroenteritis with vomiting and diarrhea, profound sweating, King Coconut water may indeed be the preferred choice.

B. Reduction of oxidative stress
The positive antioxidant effects of tender coconut water have been studied in laboratory settings. These positive effects include the reduction of oxidative stress in response to a variety of free radical generators, reduction in harmful lipid peroxidation, suppression of chronic inflammation, and generating increased levels of antioxidant enzymes.

C. Improving Lipid Profiles
King coconut water has been demonstrated to reduce total cholesterol levels, triglycerides, LDL (‘bad cholesterol’) levels and to optimize HDL (‘good cholesterol’) levels in controlled laboratory experiments.

D. Improving high blood pressure
King coconut water has been demonstrated to reduce systolic blood pressure, an important goal in preventing heart disease and stroke.

E. Protecting the Heart
King coconut water has demonstrable cardio-protective activity in experimental models of heart attacks.

F. Reducing Inflammation
Chronic inflammation has been linked with heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer and a host of other negative health effects. Tender coconut water has been shown to reduce inflammation in controlled laboratory settings through a pathway of reduced prostaglandin production.

G. Anti-clotting activity
The anti-thrombotic properties of king coconut water have been demonstrated in controlled laboratory settings, with important implications in preventing heart attacks and stroke.

The sweetness in King Coconut water comes from a blend of naturally occurring glucose, fructose and sucrose, delicately retained in an isotonic drink against a backdrop of soluble fiber, protein, minerals and electrolytes. King Coconut water, in amounts typically consumed, does not pose a risk for those with diabetes. In fact, research conducted in laboratory settings has demonstrated improvement in diabetes and diabetic eye disease with coconut water. As always, check in with your healthcare provider before making significant changes to your diet.

Even regular water is harmful if consumed in excess. This holds true for King Coconut water as well. For those with no significant medical conditions, it is considered safe to consume 2-3 King Coconuts a day.

Our kidneys are perfectly designed to manage and maintain optimal levels of electrolytes such as sodium, potassium and magnesium. Those with kidney disease need to pay particular attention to limit the intake of King Coconut water due to the relatively high potassium content. Too much potassium intake in people with impaired potassium regulation (such as those with kidney disease) or with people with extremely high levels of circulating blood potassium levels (muscle breakdown, tumor lysis) can be fatal. Always check with your healthcare provider about your safe limits of King Coconut water intake if you have kidney disease or any other condition that increases your blood potassium levels, such as taking potassium supplements, potassium-sparing diuretics and other medications that increase blood potassium, tumor lysis syndrome and certain endocrine (hormone-related) disorders that increase blood potassium levels. Any condition that causes extensive damage to red blood cells (hemolysis) or damage to muscle cells (rhabdomyolysis) – such as extensive burns, and severe exertion to the point of muscle damage – will increase your blood potassium levels. In such instances, increasing your potassium levels further can be dangerous.

Sports drinks are designed for rapid absorption to deliver water, electrolytes and energy (sugar) into the body. These beverages are intended to prevent dehydration, improve recovery time and maintain energy. King Coconut Water is an isotonic, ready-to-drink hydration beverage with all these benefits naturally in place. King Coconut water is a healthier option than most Sports Drinks because King Coconut water does not contain artificial or added sugar, chemicals, stabilizers or colors. King Coconut water is not artificially carbonated, making it much easier to consume without feeling bloated or nauseated. The average sports drink contains up to 60 grams of sugar per can. That’s the sugar equivalent of eating 6 typical chocolate chip cookies.

In April 2022, our King Coconut Water with Hibiscus bottled cold brew will be launched on Amazon.com and other select online retail platforms.
