Coconut water ty COCOS! is rich in electrolytes - essential minerals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and chloride that the body needs to function properly. The main role of electrolytes is to maintain fluid balance in the body, to support the transmission of nerve signals and to ensure the efficient functioning of muscles, including the heart.
Electrolytes should be replenished during sports, excessive sweating, symptoms of dehydration or when recovering from an illness accompanied by diarrhea or vomiting.
During sweating or illness, the body loses not only water but also important minerals. Electrolyte drink ty COCOS! is a great choice for:
- preventing dehydration,
- replenishing minerals and preventing muscle cramps,
- recovery after physical activity,
- refreshment during busy days or sports activities,
- supporting physical and mental performance.
Benefits of coconut water:
- Rehydration and electrolyte replenishment
Coconut water contains natural electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, magnesium and calcium, making it suitable for replenishing fluids after physical exertion or during warm days. - Light refreshment without unnecessary additives
It is naturally low in calories, contains no fat or cholesterol and is often used as an alternative to sweetened drinks or artificial isotonic solutions. - Promotes balance in the body
The composition of coconut water helps maintain mineral balance, especially when sweating or under increased physical stress. - Delicate taste and wide range of uses
Its mild taste makes it suitable for everyday drinking, as a base for smoothies or other beverages. - Natural composition with enzymes and trace elements
Contains various bioactive substances such as enzymes and antioxidants, which are a natural part of coconut water.
- Suitable for all ages
The pure natural formula with no added sugar is suitable for all coconut water lovers from 3 years of age, mothers, athletes, seniors, vegans, celiacs, and diabetics.
The importance of electrolytes in sports:
- Electrolytes are lost through sweating
- During exercise, the body cools down by sweating
- electrolytes are lost from the body with water, especially sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium and calcium (in smaller amounts)
- Electrolytes control muscle contractions and nerve impulses
- electrolytes such as sodium, potassium and calcium are key to conducting nerve impulses to muscles, contracting muscle fibres (including heart muscle) and releasing them after contraction
- if electrolytes are depleted, muscles respond poorly, muscle cramps, fatigue, weakness and even tetany can occur
- Management of hydration in the body
- electrolytes help the body to maintain the right amount of water - they regulate the amount of water inside and outside the cells (osmotic balance)
- sodium 'pulls' water from the gut into the blood, thus ensuring rehydration. Without it, water would not be retained in the bloodstream and would quickly be lost in the urine.
- promote the transport of substances across cell membranes such as glucose, amino acids, calcium
