Has anyone tried this water?

Hi all.  Never heard of this before but I had a recent issue with dehydration (non-related to tx) and a nurse HIGHLY recommend Coconut water for hydration.  Has anyone tried it??  I'm curious since I need to stay hydrated during tx.  I drank one tonight and it didn't taste bad.  It comes in a bunch of flavors (at least, in this brand, though I am not promoting it, just curious about experiences).  Here's more:


VITA COCO
Hydrate Naturally with Five Essential Electrolytes
Sure, you may not be a marathon runner, a football player or Tour de France winner, but your every day life is hectic enough--you should be hydrated while you live it. Go ahead, get hydrated and remember that life is a sport!

Loaded with the five essential electrolytes that your body craves -- including potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorous -- Vita Coco has what it takes to keep you hydrated and refreshed throughout your busy day.

In fact, each serving of Vita Coco has more electrolytes and 15 times more potassium than the leading sports drink, and more potassium than two bananas (about 700 mg of potassium is in each 11.2-ounce serving size). These electrolytes work to keep the body cool, help boost poor circulation, replenish your body's fluids after exercising, and aid in the detoxification process while boosting your immune system.

This cholesterol- free, fat- free and pucker-free drink can also help soothe an upset stomach, and when paired with a healthy diet, it can even promote weight loss. All this from a single, natural ingredient, and without any artificial sweeteners or added sugars.

Sounds like something this health nut would drink. But the sodium thing may eliminate it for some of us. It's hard to stay under 2 Grams. How much is in it?
Top of the morning to ya, Karen

Hey Karen.  I threw out the container but I think it said only 40 for sodium.  I have to watch that too, so I checked before I bought it.  Oh wait, I just looked it up:

“Research has found that natural coconut water hydrates as effectively as the leading sports drink, with significantly lower sodium (30 mg/8.5 ounces vs. 110 mg/8 ounces), fewer calories, less sugar, and much more potassium,” said Dr. Douglas Kalman, Sports Nutritionist, Florida International University and a Director in the Nutrition and Endocrinology Division at Miami Research Associates. “In a sodium rich culture, Vita Coco is the healthier, all-natural choice to hydrate the sporting body”.
