Coconut water contains plant hormones that may be beneficial to the skin
First off, I want to point out that I used the word “may” in my tittle of this article. I am not a professor, nutritionist, or a professional of any sort, I am just a blogger who thought it would be interesting to follow a health food trend, namely “Coconut Water”. I want to report the truth in my findings, because I think that public is lied to enough through the health industry.
There have been many claims that coconut water may be good for acne and skin. I have looked far and wide for proof to back this up. Coconut water has trace minerals zinc, magnesium, potassium, and several others. To me trace minerals could not explain the acne and skin claims, as far as drinking it or applying it to the skin because there are plenty of face creams, and or supplements that could be bought for a cheaper price.
But, recently I found a few research papers stating that kinetin has been found in coconut water. If you have never heard of kinetin, it is the miracle worker in a face cream called Kinerase. I have been lucky enough to receive samples of kinerase in the past, and I can say it does wondrous stuff for aging skin but I have never used it on an acne flair up. Kinerase is really out of my price range so I can not tell you more.
Kinetin is a plant hormone that promotes cell division that makes things grow. There is whole bunch of other related biological data related to this, that I am not going to try and wrap my mind around but if you are interested I will leave the resources at the bottom of this article. You will also notice that there are tons of other nutritional items listed on these papers.
The coconut water we see on the shelves today are treated with heat for a short period of time to kill off harmful bacteria. So I am not going to pretend to know weather or not kinetin survives this heat treatment. I have yet to see any of the coconut water companies stating that there is kinetin in their water.
Overall, I think that coconut water is a healthy beverage to drink, if you can afford it.

I drink 2 glasses of coconut water in the morning to cure my UTI. It really has more benefits than any other fruit. That’s why it’s considered as one of the superfoods. Thanks for some health facts.

Acne is something I have struggled with for a while. I have finally been able to get a handle on it since I changed the foods I have been eating.
Hey there, thank you for blog! I’ve been reading your weblog for several days now and i am really loving it. I actually had a few questions concerning your blog though. Do you consider it might be possible for me to make contact with you further to debate it? Possibly set up a chat on email or an instant messanging program? If not, thank you anyway and I am going to continue to read and comment.
