A new, premium coconut water drink called Zico (£2.50) has just launched in the UK, after huge success in the US with celebrity followers such as Gisele Bundchen, Lauren Conrad, Courtney Cox and Kristin Cavallari. It is currently stocked at major health and fitness retailers across London.
ZICO is an isotonic coconut water blended for a consistent taste using young green coconuts from Thailand and Indonesia. "It contains the essential electrolyte potassium which helps maintain muscle function and is low in calories, not to mention that it has no added sugar (only the naturally occurring sugars of the coconut), making it the perfect natural energy drink."
Mark Rampolla, founder of ZICO had his first taste of coconut water in Central America.
Mark says: “As an avid athlete, I fell in love with drinking fresh coconut water after running and hiking. I wanted to come up with something delicious and good for you, great for on the move and ZICO is the result".
