Never from concentrate, gluten- and dairy-free, and suitable for both vegetarians and vegans, Vita Coco has built its identity on being exactly what it says on the carton: pure coconut water with nothing unnecessary added.
The range covers the core Vita Coco Pure format across 330ml, 500ml and 1L sizes, giving buyers a natural hydration option for everything from a morning smoothie to post-workout recovery to simply a refreshing alternative to water.

Why Vita Coco Stands Apart
Genuinely Simple Ingredients
Vita Coco Original Coconut Water contains just three ingredients: coconut water, a trace of fructose and added Vitamin C. No artificial flavours, no added sugar beyond what naturally occurs, no synthetic electrolyte blend engineered in a lab.
High in Vitamin C, Naturally
Every 500ml serving of Vita Coco provides a full day's Vitamin C intake, 90mg, or 112.5% of the Nutrient Reference Value. That is a meaningful immune-supporting contribution from a drink that tastes nothing like a supplement.
Naturally Occurring Potassium
Coconut water is naturally rich in potassium, 196 mg per 100ml in Vita Coco, specifically one of the key electrolytes the body loses through sweat. This is potassium as nature packaged it, not an additive.
Low in Calories
At just 18kcal per 100ml, Vita Coco Pure is significantly lighter than most sports drinks and fruit juices, making it a practical everyday hydration choice rather than an occasional treat.
Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan
Vita Coco Coconut Water fits cleanly into virtually every dietary requirement suitable for vegans, vegetarians, and those avoiding gluten or dairy, with no compromise on taste or nutritional value.
Genuinely Versatile
Beyond straight drinking, Vita Coco works as a smoothie base, a post-workout recovery drink, a cocktail or mocktail mixer, and a morning-after rehydration choice. Few drinks cross that many use cases naturally.
A Certified B Corporation With Real Sustainability Credentials
Vita Coco is a certified B Corporation, uses FSC-certified Tetra Pak cartons, and runs the Vita Coco Project, committed to planting 10 million seedlings by 2030 in the coconut-sourcing communities it works with.

When To Enjoy Vita Coco
Post-Workout Recovery
Vita Coco's naturally occurring potassium makes it a genuine alternative to formulated sports drinks for rehydration after exercise, lighter, lower in sugar, and without any artificial ingredients. For a comparison with a dedicated electrolyte sports drink, Gatorade Thirst Quencher offers a more concentrated electrolyte formula for intense training sessions.
Smoothie Base
Vita Coco works as a natural substitute for apple or orange juice in smoothies, lighter in sugar and calories while still providing sweetness and liquid volume.
The Morning After
A long-standing use case for coconut water is gentle rehydration the morning after a big night out, without the sugar hit of a standard soft drink.
Cocktails and Mocktails
Vita Coco's mild, naturally sweet flavour makes it a popular mixer base for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic tropical-style drinks.
