Description
Coco pH 8: 100% Coconut water. Exclusive COVICO ™ patent
Coco pH 8 is a food supplement based on 100% natural dehydrated coconut water from fresh green coconuts that reach the processing plant within 24 hours of harvesting.
This exclusive raw material (COVICO ™) guarantees extraction systems at low temperatures that maintain the nutritional characteristics, enhancing their assimilative and rehydrating properties.
Coconut water for its mixture of minerals has strong antioxidant and alkalizing activities; moreover, its use improves digestive processes and optimizes assimilative ones.
> Coco pH 8: the perfect isotonic drink
The mineral balance of coconut water places emphasis on maintaining muscle contraction before and during performance and is ideal for preventing cramps.
Coco ph 8 is rich in mineral salts (calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium) with a 600 mg dose of potassium. The mix of minerals creates a naturally isotonic drink.
> Properties of coconut water
Many beneficial properties have been attributed to coconut water including:
- The increase in good cholesterol (HDL) and promotes (combined with physical activity) the decrease in abdominal fat(“Lipids” 2009)
- Stimulus of the immune system (2011 published in Asian Pac J Trop Med)
- Great rehydration capacity. (J. Appl Physiol Anthropol Sci uman – International J. Sport Nutr).
Isotonic drink vs Coconut water
In most of the studies, the difference was found between an integration made only with water, with water and mineral salts (isotonic), with water, salts and sugars (always isotonic), and a group with coconut water.
Studies evaluated hydration status and performance. The athletes (all experts) were also asked for subjective evaluations on the sense of thirst, abdominal swelling, sense of renewed freshness, stomach upset.
All athletes reported great digestibility and no gastric discomfort.
It should be emphasized that thanks to its bioavailability, one of the qualities of coconut water is the perfect balance of minerals, perfectly compatible with hydration, performance, muscle contraction.
Ingredients:
COVICO ™ Natural Dehydrated Coconut Water, sourced from fresh green coconuts
(Cocos Nucifera, Water).
How to use:
> We recommend taking two doses of 10 grams (2 measures) in 200 ml of water to determine an isotonic (291 mOsm / L) and alkaline (pH 8) solution. The isotonic solution is useful after intense physical activity or intense sweating.
We recommend taking a dose of 10 grams (2 scoops) in 400 ml of water to determine a hypotonic (146 mOsm / L) and alkaline (pH 8) solution. The hypotonic solution is useful for post workout as a carbohydrate and salt supplement.
