Coconut water is an elixir of electrolytes. These are minerals with an electrical charge. In addition, electrolytes may be present in your blood, urine and sweat. They are essential to various processes that keep your body going. For example, electrolytes are necessary for the proper functioning of your nerves and muscles. Electrolytes also help to maintain your body’s environment. They do so by keeping you hydrated and maintaining your internal pH. Potassium, sodium, and magnesium are the electrolytes that play a significant role in the allure of coconut water. And coconut water can also boost hydration.

• CHLORELLA is a wonderful ingredient if you are on detox, as it can bind and eliminate heavy metals like mercury, lead, nickel and aluminium. It can also detoxify food preservatives, artificial flavourings and colourings from the body. Chlorella also turns on the body’s natural detoxification switch by increasing the body’s production of glutathione.
