Its liquid is filled with simple sugars, electrolytes and minerals to replenish dehydration conditions inside the human body.• Research studies suggest that cytokinins (e.g., kinetin and trans-zeatin) in coconut water have been shown to have anti-aging, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-thrombotic (anti-clot formation) effects. significant.• Coconut water has commonly been offered to patients with diarrhea in many tropical regions to replace fluid loss due to the gastrointestinal tract and to reduce the need for hospitalization. The osmolarity of tender coconut water is slightly higher than that of the ORS (Oral Rehydration Therapy) solution recommended by the WHO. The presence of other biological constituents such as amino acids, enzymes, minerals and fatty acids may explain this higher osmolarity. However, unlike the WHO-ORS, its water is very low in sodium and chlorides, but rich in sugars and amino acids. This well-balanced fluid composition, along with the essential calories, would make an ideal drink in place of any other type of soft drink available on the market to correct dehydration.
