About this topic
Coconut water
Coconut water has a reputation as nature's sports drink, but how does it really stack up? Our coconut water guides look at how it compares with plain water and electrolyte sachets, the myths around it and when it actually makes a difference.
Coconut water naturally contains electrolytes, particularly potassium, and it's a refreshing way to hydrate. It also contains natural sugars, and its electrolyte content varies from brand to brand. We compare coconut water vs electrolyte sachets so you can choose what suits you, whether that's after a workout or the morning after.

FAQs
Coconut water FAQs
Does coconut water have electrolytes?
Yes, it naturally contains electrolytes, mostly potassium, with smaller amounts of sodium and magnesium. Levels vary between brands.
Is coconut water more hydrating than water?
Coconut water hydrates you much like water does, with some added potassium. For everyday hydration, plain water or water with electrolytes works just as well.
Is coconut water better than an electrolyte sachet?
It depends on what you need. Coconut water contains natural sugars and is lower in sodium, while sachets give a consistent dose and can be sugar free.
Is coconut water good after a workout?
It can help you rehydrate after light exercise. After a long or sweaty session, you may want more sodium than coconut water provides.
