• For more than 4,000 years, coconut water has been revered as a natural source of nutrition, wellness, beauty and hydration.
• Found throughout tropic and subtropic areas around the world, the coconut is known for its great versatility as seen in the many domestic, commercial, and industrial uses of its different parts.
• Coconuts which are part of the daily diet of many people are different from any other fruits because they contain a large quantity of “water” and when immature they are known as tender-nuts or jelly-nuts and may be harvested for their juice.

Some scientists like to refer to the coconut as a water dispersal fruit and seed. Botanically speaking, a coconut is a fibrous one-seeded drupe, also known as a dry drupe. However, when using loose definitions, the coconut can be all three: a fruit, a nut, and a seed. The FDA defines a coconut as a nut though it is not a true nut scientifically speaking. A true nut, such as the acorn, does not open at maturity to release its seeds. A nut can be defined as a one-seeded fruit and with that loose definition, coconut can also be a nut.

Coconut water, not to be confused with coconut milk, is the clear, nut-flavored juice stored in the interior or endosperm of very young (green) coconuts. Coconut water has long been a staple drink in Southeast Asian nations and is one of nature’s most refreshing drinks consumed worldwide for its nutritious and health benefiting properties.

Coconut’s delicious water is obtained by opening a tender, green, healthy, and undamaged coconut. The liquid is clear, sweet, and sterile and composed of unique compounds such as simple sugars, vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, enzymes, amino acids, and cytokine. In general, young and slightly immature nuts are harvested for drinking purpose when they are about 5-7 months of age.

Fat-free, cholesterol-free, low-calorie, super-hydrating, naturally rich in electrolytes, the benefits of coconut water, seem endless. Dubbed “nature’s sports drink” and “life-enhancer” by marketers, its no wonder why celebrities have replaced their acai berry drinks and Kabbalah water with coconut water. In times of famine and war, coconut water has been used as an intravenous fluid and saved many lives. It’s the only natural substance that can be safely injected into the human bloodstream. Coconut water is commonly offered to patients with diarrhea in many tropical regions to replace fluid loss from the gastrointestinal tract and reduce the need for intravenous therapy. The osmolarity of tender coconut water is slightly greater than that of WHO recommended ORS (Oral Rehydration Therapy) osmolarity. Presence of other biological constituents like amino acids, enzymes, minerals, and fatty acids may account for this higher osmolarity. However, unlike WHO-ORS, its water is very low in sodium and chlorides but is a natural source of sugars and amino acids.

Coconut water is composed of many naturally occurring bioactive enzymes such as acid phosphatase, catalase, dehydrogenase, diastase, peroxidase, RNA polymerases, etc. Altogether, these enzymes aid in digestion and metabolism.

Despite very light consistency, its water has a much better composition of minerals like calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium, and zinc than some of the fruits like oranges. Coconut water may have phenomenal properties that may support a healthy detoxification response resulting in better circulation, healthier organs and clearer skin.

Coconut water is also a source of B-complex vitamins such as riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, pyridoxine, and folates. These vitamins are essential in the sense that the body requires them from external sources to replenish. In addition, fresh coconut water has a small amount of vitamin-C (ascorbic acid); provides about 2.4 mcg or 4% of RDA. Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant.

Research studies suggest that cytokinins (e.g., kinetin and trans-zeatin) in coconut water may show significant anti-aging, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-thrombotic effects.

Why We Accept The Use Of Non-GMO Yuca Maltodextrin in Some Products

In today’s supplement industry, many companies use “fillers” or “flow agents” in their products. And in most cases, this is unnecessary and lazy product management.

We do not do this nor do we support unethical behavior like this at Burley Trust Products.

The true purpose of using these materials is to prevent caking or clumping in the product. Often times, companies will use these materials as a filler so they can “cut” the product. This often makes the customer think they are getting a better value than they really are.

Burley Trust Products only uses these materials in a select group of our products for the purpose intended and nothing else. We also use the smallest amount possible in order to get the job done. Only used when necessary to deliver a better quality product to you, the natural material we have chosen is maltodextrin produced from non-GMO organic Yuca root (cassava root).

Maltodextrin from non-GMO organic Yucu root is a starch that acts as …A drying agent which helps to prevent the powder from clumping.The act of clumping is a normal occurrence for real, whole, natural food powders.

Maltodextrin from Yuca root is a very clean and safe food with a wonderful history of traditional uses

The plant contains several physiologically active phytochemicals. It is a rich source of steroidal saponins, and is used commercially as a saponin source. Clinical trials conducted on constituents isolated from Yuca found evidence that the properties found in the root may support a healthy inflammation response. These saponins have been shown to support the destruction of mutated cells as well as supporting healthy liver and kidney function.

Yuca is also a rich source of polyphenolics, including resveratrol and a number of other stilbenes (yucaols A, B, C, D and E). These phenolics also have the ability to support a healthy inflammation response. They are inhibitors of the nuclear transcription factor NFkappaB. NFkB stimula synthesis of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), which causes formation of the inflammatory agent nitric oxide.

Yuca phenolics are also anti-oxidants and free-radical scavengers, which may aid in suppressing reactive oxygen species that stimulate inflammatory responses.
