Cococin®

Freeze-dried form of coconut water
A natural, rich source of minerals and phytonutrients

  • Coconut water is the liquid endosperm of Cocos nucifera L used as a supplement in media for the growth of plant tissue cultures
  • The coconut fruit is unique as it contains large amount of nutrient-rich liquid over the period of time (one year or more) in its life cycle
  • The greatest amount of coconut water is found in young, green coconuts
  • When the fruit matures, both the solid endosperm and the remaining coconut water serve as nutrients for the developing embry and seeding
  • Thus coconut water serves as as natural reservoir of nutrients to promote tissue growth
