    Overview

    Cocomineral is a freeze-dried coconut water powder supplying naturally occurring potassium, sodium, magnesium, and cytokinins for clean-label hydration formulas.

    Mechanism & Function

    Mechanism of Action

    Replenishes potassium-dominant electrolyte profile; provides modest carbohydrate; popular natural alternative to synthetic mixes.

    Physiological Role

    Useful for low-intensity hydration; for high-sweat-rate athletes, sodium content is typically too low and must be supplemented.

    Primary Pathways

    Renal K reabsorptionPlasma volume maintenanceGlucose-sodium co-transport

    Performance / Health Relevance

    Small RCTs show coconut water is equivalent to sports drinks for low-intensity rehydration but inadequate sodium for prolonged endurance.

    Oral Rehydration Salts

    75/100

    Randomized trials in healthy adults show ORS reduces urine output and increases short-term fluid retention compared with plain water, and promotes greater post-exercise rehydration than water; systematic reviews of treatments for acute diarrhoea list ORS among studied interventions. Evidence supports ORS for short-term replacement of fluid and electrolytes in these contexts.

    Sodium Citrate

    65/100

    A tribasic sodium salt of citric acid functioning as both an electrolyte source and systemic alkalizing agent that increases blood bicarbonate concentration and extracellular buffering capacity.
