"The Fluid of Life" Containing the same electrolyte balance as our bodies, coconut water is called "the fluid of life". Esteemed in Ayurvedic tradition, for more than 4,000 years coconut water has been revered as a source of nutrition, wellness and beauty. A coconut tree draws water from the earth, enhancing and storing it in the coconut’s hard, airtight shell. Zico's coconuts are harvested while they’re still young (before developing any white meat), precisely when the water inside reaches its peak level of potassium and other essential electrolytes.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the people of Haiti. Like the rest of the world, we are using our resources to do whatever we can to help
The devastation is incomprehensible, but we do know that drinking water is extremely limited. Coconut water is far more effective in relieving symptoms associated with dehydration than plain water. Its unique chemical composition can rehydrate the body naturally, giving the strength and energy it needs. We encourage others to do what they can to assist survivors.

According to the World Health Organization, immediate health priorities for the area include the provision of clean water and sanitation. Control of communicable diseases, such as diarrheal diseases and respiratory infections, will be another major concern in coming days. According to Dr. Bruce Fife, coconut water is currently being used around the world to save lives and consumption of coconut water increases the survival rate of cholera victims by as much as 97 percent.*
