Inner-Eco is a Denver-based brand producing fresh probiotic coconut water that is free of additives. Available in three flavors, the fresh coconut water probiotic is a great alternative to water that supports immunity development and improves digestive function. Each 15-ounce bottle of Inner-Eco's probiotic coconut water is good for 30 servings and contains more than 100 billion probiotic CFU's in each tablespoon serving.

While many [yogurt products contain probiotics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitamin-c-punch), Inner-Eco's selection takes it a step beyond by infusing its coconut water with [kefir grains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifeway-foods-basics-plus). [Kefir](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-wolf) grains are a combination of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria that is often inoculated with dairy products to create a naturally effervescent beverage. However, Inner-Eco's beverages are dairy-free, making it a great option for lactose intolerant individuals.
