coconut water

Heello.
I lived at Venezuela since i was born and un 2012 i moved to spain
Well, at Venezuela fresh coconut water is recommended to increase platelet counts on dengue fever. Fresh, i mean, the coconut open at the very moment.of consumption.
In spain i found it at the súper market...but not fresh ...of course.
I am taking it for see if it helps.
Anybody else drink coconut water to help increase platelets?

Sorry, I have not heard of that as a way to increase platelets.

Hope it's still relevant because it's an old post but my take on coconut water is its a good source of vitamin c and yes fresh is always best.  My concern would be that you would have to drink a good amount of it to get to the levels your body likes for this vitamin. Everyone is different with absorption issues, and so forth but I make my own coconut milk and only consume a 1/2 cup with a cup of fresh citrus fruit.  I limit it because it's high in sat fat and it is an electrolyte (same as coconut water) and I don't need any problems there.  The coconut water fresh would be sugar free which is great but the canned version contains added sugar sometimes which I don't want in my diet.  I need to keep room in my diet for daily fresh citrus fruit which is also high in natural sugar but gives a high vitamin c content. Yellow and Orange bell peppers raw are a big vitamin c punch without high sugar or creating a potential imbalance of electrolytes.  Hydration is great though for energy and wellness.  My son is a big fan of one coconut water after a bball game. I tried it and it tasted like popcorn to me.
