With respect to the human body, coconut water is isotonic – which means it contains essential salts and minerals in a concentration and proportion closely approximating that found in human cells. As a result, coconut water is easily absorbed into and rapidly replenishes human cells
LIFE coconut water is a very good source of potassium. 100 ml of coconut water contains approximately 200 mg of potassium – as much as a banana.

Our coconut water is not yet certified organic, however, the coconuts we use are certified Non-GMO and are farmed sustainably.
Our bottle uses PET (#1) which is not only considered the safest single use plastic bottle choice, but is also 100% recyclable. It is significantly lighter than other plastics which means less fuel and fewer resources are used to make, fill and transport each bottle, hence reducing LIFE’s carbon footprint and making PET (#1) the most environmentally sound choice. Our labels and caps are also 100% recyclable and we use cartons made from 100% recycled materials, so not only is LIFE Coconut Water a great choice for consumers, it is also a great choice for the environment
Coconuts are tree nuts and therefore are classified in the category of “major food allergens” under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (FALCP). While allergic reactions to coconut water are extremely rare, if you have a nut allergy, please seek medical advice before consuming any coconut water based juices or drinks
Yes. In countries where coconuts are grown, it is common for fresh coconut water to be given to babies in addition to milk as a source of natural hydration

Coconut water is a naturally healthy, low calorie juice that fits perfectly into the FDA recommended consumption of, at least, two liters of non-alcoholic liquids every day
We recommend that once opened, LIFE Coconut Water is best consumed within one day, and of course, it must be kept refrigerated at all times
We do not recommend that you freeze our products as freezing may adversely affect taste and overall quality
The pink hue is a natural process caused by the oxidation of the polyphenolics naturally present in coconut water. It is our promise to you that LIFE is 100% cold-crafted. A pink bottle of LIFE coconut water is just as good, if not better, than the others
Coconut water is the fluid that’s found in the cavity of the coconut when you crack it open. It is nature’s perfect isotonic beverage, contains almost no fat and is very low in calories. Coconut milk is made from the flesh of the coconut
Our HPP Coconut Water uses a selection of native Thai coconut varieties that are blended to provide optimum taste
Depending on variety and time of year, the coconuts used to pack LIFE Coconut Water are harvested at just the right time to deliver the optimum taste and quality.
Thailand is renowned for growing the best tasting and aromatic coconuts all year round
All of our coconuts are manually harvested to ensure optimum ripeness
The coconuts we use contain 250mL to 355mL of coconut water, so a 300mL bottle is made from 1-2 coconuts
Between 70 and 85 coconuts depending upon the age of the palm tree.
Coconut husks are a natural by-product and have various sustainable uses, such as a soil amendment for organic farming.
LIFE Coconut Water is bottled within minutes of opening the coconuts.
LIFE Coconut Water is bottled and HPP’d at source in Thailand where we believe the best tasting and aromatic coconuts are grown. LIFE Coconut Water is never made from concentrate and our unique High Pressure Process ensures we capture and retain all the natural ‘fresh taste’, aroma and nutrition you enjoy
High pressure processing (HPP) is a way to extend the refrigerated shelf life of foods without heat. Most packaged coconut water is heat pasteurized in order to reduce cost and allow non-refrigerated storage and transportation. Sadly, this also means that the taste, color, aroma and nutrition of thermally processed coconut water is adversely affected during the heat pasteurization process and continues to decline across the entire shelf life of the finished product
HPP is a non-thermal technique to pasteurize food which contains and preserves the full and complete flavor & aroma profile of LIFE Coconut Water. The juice is kept chilled throughout our process prior to bottling which minimizes the loss of volatile flavors. LIFE Coconut Water is bottled before it is HPP’d which provides a physical barrier to flavor loss.
Heat processing affects small molecules such as flavors and aromas which can result in the loss or modification of flavors, particularly in the case of Coconut Water which is very heat sensitive
Fresh coconut water has better flavor, aroma and more nutrients because it has not been heat treated; which removes and distorts delicate flavors, nutrients and essences
We bottle LIFE Coconut Water in Thailand because we believe it is where the best tasting and aromatic coconuts are grown. Using the best raw material is the only way to deliver the best tasting juice
Our “best before date” has been set to consistently deliver optimum quality. Beyond the “best before date” quality may decline below levels that meet our stringent criteria
Just as with many other premium food products, LIFE Coconut Water requires refrigeration to insure optimum quality and safety. You should not drink LIFE coconut water if you suspect that it has not been kept chilled
