The coconut water sets itself apart from others by boasting a flavor that is naturally sweeter than others, although no added sugars are part of the formula. CoAqua's product is a rich source of potassium, magnesium and electrolytes, with no cholesterol or fats. Although coconut water has become known as nature's own energy drink replacement, CoAqua brands its beverage as an "everywhere drink, for everyone," that is not just tied to replenishing the body after intense physical activity.
