Coconut Water Benefits Overview
At every stage of our lives, there are times when we become dehydrated causing us to lose electrolytes found in our body. We need to replace fluids and electrolytes regularly to help avoid headaches, muscle cramping, and fatigue. Coconut water contains some of the same electrolytes found in blood, and is a good source of Potassium.

Throughout history, coconut water has been used to prevent and treat dehydration - and it has been shown to be more effective than plain water for hydrating. O.N.E. Coconut Water is refreshing and delicious, and is a nutritional powerhouse, too (just see its nutrition label!).

Not all beverages are hydrating, either because they contain too much sugar or have caffeine, which is a diuretic (pulling water from our bodies). In addition to containing electrolytes, such as Potassium, coconut water contains some naturally occurring sugar, adding to its taste appeal and is free of corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, stimulants, flavorings or colorings. Coconut water is a natural source of hydration, with much lower calories then many other fruit juices.

There is something magical about O.N.E. Coconut Water. Yes, it has the Potassium levels you would expect from a banana. Yes, it is nature's hydrator. Yes, it is a low calorie, naturally fat-free and naturally cholesterol-free beverage. And yes, it tastes great and refreshing.

But there is even something more special about O.N.E. Coconut Water - its history. For millennia people living in the tropics have used coconut water for a variety of purposes - including as an energy drink and a rehydration aid. Coconut water has been directly injected into the bloodstream for transfusions in wartime emergencies. Its not surprising that the coconut palm is known as the Tree of Life in many cultures, and celebrated for its magical, life enhancing qualities. Contains ingredients that are known to neutralize free radicals and help support the immune system.

Countless contemporary consumers of O.N.E. Coconut Water are joining the legions of believers who choose coconut water as their preferred way to recover from exercise or simply to refresh after a hot day.

The Origin of O.N.E.
O.N.E. Coconut Water, is a beverage company with a deep commitment to the Earth and its people. Their products are responsibly sourced and harvested, filtered naturally and packaged in environmentally conscious Tetra Paks (to see information provided by their Tetra Pak manufacturing explaining the impact of Tetra Pak on the environment click here). O.N.E. is devoted to programs that help educate people worldwide about issues of hydration and the prevention of childhood obesity. At O.N.E., they believe that the success of they company can, and will, be in harmony with environmental stewardship and good corporate citizenship.

O.N.E.'s story began in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 2005 when MBA students Rodrigo Veloso and Eric Loudon developed a business plan to brand and launch a line of healthy, natural beverages (coconut water being the first) in the U.S. market. After their business plan won 1st place at the largest Latin American Business Plan competition, Rodrigo and Eric decided to turn their idea into a real business. As the co-founders of One World Enterprises, LLC, Rodrigo and Eric moved to Los Angeles to sell O.N.E. Coconut Water in the highly competitive U.S. beverage industry with the conviction that one day Coconut Water would be a $1 Billion beverage category in the US even though few Americans had ever heard of Coconut Water. To further support their passion the renowned Brazilian business magazine, Exame, (the Business Week of Brazil) named O.N.E. Coconut Water the Fourth Best Business Innovation of Brazil in 2005, ahead of products from Ford, Petrobras and Unilever.

One year later, O.N.E. Coconut Water hit shelves in Southern California. It debuted at Whole Foods Markets in the Summer of 2006 to rave reviews and quickly became the #1 selling alternative beverage in all Southern California Whole Foods Markets. In the office by day and at stores doing demos in the evenings and on weekends, O.N.E.'s CEO, Rodrigo Veloso, and his wife/ business partner, Emilie Fritz Veloso, quickly grew the business while passionately educating everyone they met about the health benefits and delicious taste of O.N.E. Coconut Water. In just one year, O.N.E. established national distribution with the top natural/specialty distributors, a national sales brokerage network and 4,000 points-of-sale in the U.S. and Canada.

In 2009, O.N.E. grew to more than 30 employees as a result of the company's first round of institutional investment funding and signing a distribution agreement with The Pepsi Beverage Company. An extension of its coconut water line was introduced with four new flavors called O.N.E. Coconut Water with a Splash, which immediately gained national distribution in Kroger stores and Whole Foods Market.

Distribution exploded in 2011, with grocery stores, convenience stores, drugstores and online retailers across the country now carrying O.N.E. Coconut Water. In 2012, O.N.E. Coconut Water is planning to expand internationally to Europe, Canada, and Southeast Asia.

O.N.E. drinks are packaged in environmentally conscious Tetra Pak cartons, underscoring the company's commitment to the Earth, and the company is a supporter of the business platform of conscious capitalism to educate consumers about the importance of proper hydration in all stages and phases of life - especially for mothers and children. O.N.E. supports several nonprofit organizations - most importantly, Healthy Child Healthy World.
