O.N.E., One Natural Experience, Makes Waves in the Coconut Water Movement

O.N.E., One Natural Experience, Makes Waves in the Coconut Water Movement
11.01.10, 02:58 AM EDT



A leading producer of premium coconut water, O.N.E. Drinks announces yet another wave of innovations and additions to its unique product line and its powerful team.

Coincidentally timed with the birth of O.N.E. Founder and CEO Rodrigo Veloso's first child, O.N.E. is pleased to introduce O.N.E. Kids -- a blend of coconut water and fruit juice -- which provides parents with a delicious, low sugar beverage, with the added benefit of healthy hydration from coconut water. O.N.E. Kids is O.N.E. step in the right direction for parents who want to take easy actions to enhancing their children's diets. "From our inception, providing healthy options for people of all ages has been one of our driving motivations," commented Rodrigo at the announcement. "With O.N.E. Coconut Water and O.N.E. Active we reach many people. Now, we are excited to provide this new offering especially for children, who can benefit tremendously from a lower sugar alternative and from the hydrating effects of coconut water." O.N.E. Kids will be available in Natural Product stores and Supermarkets nationwide, beginning to roll out in October.

O.N.E. is also very pleased to announce that it has entered into a license agreement with Jamba Juice Company to launch a line of ready-to-drink coconut water fruit juice blends. "We are delighted to partner with O.N.E. to develop such a unique line of great-tasting, high-quality, better-for-you beverages that delivers on health and wellness trends," said James D. White, chairman, president, and CEO of Jamba Juice Company. "Coconut water, and the healthy and natural isotonic benefits it embodies, is a perfect fit for an active lifestyle brand such as Jamba. O.N.E. is a pioneer in the category and shares our values and passion for actively engaging consumers to eat well and live healthy lives."

Adding to the energy and excitement, O.N.E is happy to announce that entertainment industry icon Tommy Mottola, former Chairman of Sony Music, has joined the O.N.E. Board of Directors. "Tommy understands what it takes to realize the full potential of an opportunity, and how to engage thought leaders and opinion makers in the process," observes Rodrigo. "He brings incredible enthusiasm, creativity, and experience to our board, and is deeply committed to playing an active role in the development of our business."

Mr. Mottola transformed Sony into one of the world's most successful music companies, extending its businesses to over 60 countries. Additionally, he revitalized Sony Music's publishing division by making unprecedented acquisitions like the Beatles Catalogue and spearheading Sony's endeavor as the first major music company to make available commercial digital downloads. During his 15 year tenure as Chairman of Sony Music, Mottola built up their revenues from $800 million to almost $7 billion annually.

Acknowledging the company's remarkable growth, Mottola said, "O.N.E. has an opportunity to become a household name and the leading brand in this category as it develops and markets beverages that serve customers' growing desire for healthier beverages without compromising taste."

"We are pleased to see O.N.E. develop such a broad and innovative line of products -- from 100% Pure Coconut Water to O.N.E. Kids to fun and flavorful O.N.E. Splash, to O.N.E. Active Sports Drink to JAMBA Coconut Water Fruit Juice Blends -- that we can bring to the market via our system," commented Massimo D'Amore, CEO, PepsiCo Beverages Americas. "We are very excited about our relationship with O.N.E. and we expect distribution and sales of the entire O.N.E. line to increase dramatically in 2011."

Adding to the enthusiastic response to the O.N.E. announcements, Michael Farello of Catterton Partners, O.N.E.'s private equity partner, added, "Under Rodrigo's leadership, O.N.E. has successfully expanded the company's product line to reach a broader market of consumers while maintaining the integrity of the brand and the quality of the product."

Dear O.N.E.,

My name is Tom Crooks and I am captain of a paintball team that is growing
quickly. We are the Oompa Loompa Chuckers based out of Southeastern, CT, USA.
For the past year and a half, we have been buying O.N.E. and clearing the shelves of
it and spending roughly $35-$75 on your product because it works!

As being a highly experienced local team traveling throughout New England, we
have been dominating local tournaments and would like to thank you for your
unbelievable product. We have played in the worst of conditions and we have
still performed at the peak of competition thanks to the hydration, nutrition,
and the several other benefits of your product. We have realized that coconut
water has helped us not only in hydration but as well as focus on and off the
field. We used to drink energy drinks such as Red Bull, Rockstar, Monster, etc.
These drinks made us lose focus, would in fact dehydrate us and feel as if
we have ingested cement by the end of the day. Our age varies from 17-26 and
half of us, including myself, are full time students.

Sincerely, Tom Crooks- Oompa Loompa Chuckers

Secrets of Celebrity Fitness (excerpt reposted)

(excerpt from)
Secrets of Celebrity Fitness – Five simple steps to look like Katy Perry
By: Dr. Bradley Frederick

Replace sweet drinks and diet drinks with water… lots of water. Your body is two-thirds water and you should try to replenish it daily to keep yourself alkaline. I tell all my patients to drink at least 2/3 ounces of water per body pound. This helps keep your metabolism up, is the best detox anyone can do, and also helps to reduce body pains. Stress, food additives and preservatives are toxic to your body and lead to acidity. Acidity is very detrimental to all your body functions, including your immune system. If you don’t like water alone, try adding some lemon or drinking coconut water. Coconut water is loaded with electrolytes and minerals, has about 16 total calories, and is fat-free. In fact, one cup of coconut water contains more electrolytes than most sports drinks and more potassium than a banana. There are many benefits to drinking water, but I do have one warning: do not drink more than 3/4 oz of water per body pound because it can dilute your electrolytes.

No More Perma-Sore!

No More Perma-Sore!

I've been a figure skater for 24 of my almost 42 years -- I started when I was 9, quit when I was 16 and started again at 25. I currently compete against other adults and am the reigning U.S. adult national bronze medalist in the Championship Intermediate-Novice Ladies division. For most of the adult portion of my skating career, I've suffered from what a call "perma-sore" -- I just don't recover from muscle fatigue and soreness the way I did in my teens, and it was a rare occasion when no body part was in pain.

Up until a few months ago, my drink of choice while on the ice had been plain ol' water. It did the job it was intended to do, which was basically to quench my thirst. Then one day, a friend mentioned on Twitter something about coconut water and exercise. Curious, I asked her what coconut water was, and from that point on I was Googling articles about coconut water and researching all the brands. Each touted more potassium than a banana and more electrolytes/less sugar (none) than a sports drink, and so began my mission to find this magic elixir.

I tried 'em all, and my absolute favorite is O.N.E. (One Natural Experience) with a Splash of Pink Guava. But it's not just because of the awesome taste, it's because I don't suffer from "perma-sore" anymore. In fact, I don't suffer from any "sore" anymore! I don't know if it's the potassium or the electrolytes -- it could be little elves, for all I care -- but ever since I incorporated O.N.E. coconut water into my skating regimen, I am pain-free.

I guess this is the part when I'm supposed to say "individual results may vary." But, hey, it works for me, and if it doesn't work for you, the worst that will happen is you drank something yummy and good for you. I just wish I'd found it sooner -- might have saved me several trips to the chiropractor!

Our First Guest Blog!

Hello friends!
We have been asking bloggers to be guest bloggers here on our website. We have always liked the blog: http://www.stuffsinglegirlslike.com/2010/08/6one-coconut-water.html so we invited the blogger to share her thoughts with us, and all of you. We hope you enjoy!


#6O.N.E. Coconut Water
**Sponsored post**

Most people are appalled with my habit of adopting the "elf diet:" Hostess cupcakes for breakfast, peanut M&Ms for lunch and Pop-tarts for dinner. When I had my over-priced membership to an "athletic club," I devoted more time thinking of reasons NOT to go to the gym than I actually spent AT the gym.

Granted, every single girl has different prerogatives. Mine happen to include expensive Italian shoes, and not necessarily my physical well-being. My poor health sometimes doesn't even make it on my list of priorities let alone, and well, left alone at the bottom of one.

Certainly, single girls like to count calories, but with a penchant for fake cooking, take-out meals, eating over the sink or having chips and guacamole for dinner, we tend to overlook the fact that our only serving of fruit for the week was a measly piece of lychee in our martini.

After suffering through the hangover of the century two months ago, I decided to be more concerned about my entire body and not just my liver, which explains my latest obsession with O.N.E. Coconut Water.

According to our friends at O.N.E., coconut water is an "all-natural hangover elixir." Not only is drinking 11-ounces of coconut water comparable to drinking an entire LITER of water for hydration purposes, coconut water controls vomiting and replaces lost electrolytes from vomiting. (This is super helpful when even the thought of tequila makes you queasy.)

Reasons why single girls like O.N.E. Coconut Water:

- O.N.E. Coconut Water is a low calorie, NON-FAT beverage. (You know how single girls feel about calorie counting. And fat.)

- O.N.E. Coconut Water relieves urinary problems, kills intestinal worms and breaks up kidney stones. (Who needs a Master Cleanse when you have coconut water?)

- O.N.E. Coconut Water is a natural alternative to Viagra. (Um, score! Pun intended.)

- O.N.E. Coconut Water may help encourage smoother and clearer skin. (Age spots, acne and wrinkles, good bye!)

- O.N.E. Coconut Water has more potassium than a banana. (Perfect because I never really cared for bananas, and potassium is great for your heart.)

- O.N.E. Coconut Water contains A LOT of vitamins. (Natural energy booster, anyone?)

- O.N.E. Coconut Water is an all-natural isotonic beverage and contains a bunch of electrolytes. (Translation: it increases metabolism. Actual translation: it helps with [relationship] weight loss.)

- O.N.E. Coconut Water comes in a cute, eco-friendly container that fits nicely in the cup holder in my car. (Great for those mornings when you're hungover and dragging ass.)

With so many benefits of drinking O.N.E. Coconut Water, who knew it would be this easy to adopt a healthier lifestyle - and in a cardboard box to boot? This single girl is officially a convert, but she's not giving up her cupcakes or Pop-tarts anytime soon.

Excerpt on Coconut Water, from Austin News, Channel 8

With more than $4 billion in annual sales, sports drinks have become a staple of American lives. Now, a new player on the market may be stealing all of the thunder, celebrities and cash.

The new, en Vogue sports drink is coconut water.

A United Nations study found it has the same five electrolytes found in human blood. Gatorade only has two.

Tanya Roller is a health counselor at Daylight Wellness in Orlando, Florida.

"Commercial energy drinks usually have dyes in them, which can be neurotoxins and they're extremely loaded with refined sugar," she said.

The federal government said Gatorade has less than 5 grams of sugar for every 100 grams.

Coconut water has less than 3 grams for every 100 grams.

If you're the partying type, experts say coconut water is an excellent cure for hangovers, for all of the reasons mentioned.

All told, sales of coconut water in the U.S. cleared $50 million last year alone.

Nuts for Coconuts!
by ashley.eaton, July 20, 2010 |


Coconuts!
Loaded with protein, calcium, phosphate, magnesium, potassium and vitamin C. We are going nuts for coconuts all over the store! Coconut milk, coconut milk yogurt, coconut milk ice cream coconut creamers and of course fresh, young coconuts and the prized electrolyte-balancing coconut water they provide.

For an all-natural, thirst-quenching experience, there’s no one thing you can say about O.N.E. Coconut Water. It just has too much going for it! O.N.E. – which stands for One Natural Experience – is prized among many of its consumers for its energizing and electrolyte replenishing benefits. Coconut water is rich in calcium, phosphate, magnesium, sodium and it even has more potassium than its tropical brother the banana. In fact, coconut water was used in World War II and the War in Vietnam as an intravenous solution for wounded soldiers on the battlefield. Talk about staying in the game, huh? It’s no wonder why all-natural athletes chose to drink O.N.E. Coconut Water over competing sports drinks.

Not to be mistaken with coconut milk, coconut nectar, and definitely not a coconut cream pie, coconut water is the liquid inside young green coconuts. It possesses a mildly sweet taste. O.N.E. 100% Coconut Water contains only 60 calories a serving and absolutely no chemicals, preservatives, GMO’s, added sugars or fat.

O.N.E. Active is available as well in its single serving boxes featuring the flavors of lemon-lime, grape berry, and cranberry grapefruit for 40 calories a drink. To learn more about O.N.E. Coconut Water, visit its website – which provides nutritional information, fun historical facts, and even recipes – at http://www.onenaturalexperience.com.

Here’s a little-known factoid: Did you know you can buy coconut water at McDonald’s in Brazil? That’s right. Catering towards South American demand, the fast-food chain known as a pioneer of supersized soda cups is now serving one of the purest beverages born of the earth. How refreshing is that?

Read Our Latest Testimonial!


My boyfriend Diego Sanchez (Spain) is a jockey here in the US. We were recently turned on to O.N.E. by our trainers at LifeTime Fitness. Being a jockey, he has to maintain a low weight while trying to work out and keep hydrated. We have been hooked since and we love the cool refreshing taste that quenches the thirst without all of other additives that regular sports drinks contain. He gets much better results and even grabs one from me in-between the races, especially with this hot weather that we have been having. I’m training for the Chicago marathon and before my training runs, I put one in the freezer, then pour the slushy O.N.E. in a bowl with fresh raspberries and some mint!

O.N.E. is now carried at Vitamin Shoppe!

I had to tell you that I took my daughter to the Vitamin Shoppe last night and while we were there she wanted something to drink. The only thing I could find that she could have besides water was coconut water (ONE to be exact). She literally chugged the entire thing and asked me to buy her some more to take to school. There were only 2 left and so I bought them and then on the way home she proceeded to ask if she could have another one at home.
Apparently they have a good thing there if a 6 year old is that interested in it! I am probably going to go back and get a case since it is SO much healthier than juice.
Best,

Elena

Bill, from Georgetown, TX provides our latest testimonial!

"I wanted to report my very positive experience with your O.N.E. product. I had read about your product in a May issue of Time magazine. My girlfriend has fibro-myalgia and I thought it might help her so I bought six of your 8.5 ounce containers and gave her four of them. Last Friday morning I developed an ocular migraine and after 10 minutes or so decided to try one. After two gulps my migraine totally disappeared. Needless to say I was amazed and have been relating my experience with all my family and friends. Thanks so much!!"

And thank YOU, Bill, for taking the time to let us know about this great experience!

Cool Facts on Coconut Water

'It's a natural isotonic beverage, with the same level of electrolytic balance as we have in our blood. It's the fluid of life, so to speak.'

During the Pacific War of 1941-45, both sides in the conflict regularly used coconut water - siphoned directly from the nut - to give emergency plasma transfusions to wounded soldiers..

Most coconut water is still consumed fresh in tropical coastal areas - once exposed to air, the liquid rapidly loses most of its organoleptic and nutritional characteristics, and begins to ferment.

Coconut Water is More Nutritious than whole milk - Less fat and NO cholesterol!

Coconut Water is Better than processed baby milk- It contains lauric acid, which is present in human mother's milk

Coconut water is naturally sterile -- Water permeates though the filtering husk!

Coconut water is a universal donor-- Its identical to human blood plasma

Coconut Water is a Natural Isotonic Beverage - The same level we have in our blood.

Coconut water has saved lives in 3rd world countries thru Coconut IV.

Coconut water is the very stuff of Nature, biologically Pure, full of Natural Sugars, Salts, and Vitamins to ward off fatigue... and is the next wave of energy drinks BUT natural!', according to Mortin Satin, Chief of the United Nation's Food & Agriculture Organization.

Coconut water contains more potassium (at about 294 mg) than most sports drinks (117 mg) and most energy drinks..

Coconut water has less sodium (25mg) where sports drinks have around 41mg and energy drinks have about 200mg!

Coconut water has 5mg of Natural Sugars where sports and energy drinks range from 10-25mg of Altered Sugars.

Coconut water is very high in Chloride at 118mg; compared to sports drinks at about 39mg.

Data is based on a 100ml drink

10 Reasons to Drink O.N.E. Coconut Water Daily

O.N.E. Solution…
10 Reasons to Drink O.N.E. Coconut Water Daily
America’s New Favorite Drink Provides a Health Boost at Every Age and Stage

March 2010, Los Angeles, California -- O.N.E Coconut Water is the #1 selling beverage in its category for 2009 and touted as one of the Top 100 Products to Watch in 2010 by the global marketing company JWT. Here’s how it benefits adults and children alike and why it should be a staple in every American household:

1. Perfect Hydration: Water from the young green coconut is nature’s perfect isotonic beverage and optimum hydrator. At every age and stage of our lives, there are times when stress on our system causes us to become dehydrated. Illness, exercise, environment, pregnancy, aging, over-drinking – all cause us to lose the essential electrolytes found in our blood naturally. We need to replace them regularly to prevent headaches, muscle cramping, fatigue, and to help our heart, nerves and muscles to function optimally. O.N.E. Coconut Water contains all five electrolytes found in the blood including calcium, sodium, phosphorous, magnesium and potassium.

2. It’s 100 % PURE: O.N.E. Coconut Water has ONE ingredient! There are NO additives at all: no corn syrup, added sugar or artificial sweeteners; no metal contaminants; no dyes; no caffeine; no preservatives; no colorings and no concentrates. It is fat and cholesterol free and contains no wheat, gluten or other food allergens. Packaged straight from the coconut into airtight aseptic Tetra Pak cartons, it stays fresh and protected from the destabilizing effects of light and oxygen for 10 months.

3. Optimum Body Functioning: Unlike tropical juices and many brands of bottled water, coconut water is alkaline --it soothes and balances our systems. By improving the absorption of all nutrients--vitamins, minerals and amino acids, it allows the body to digest with greater efficiency. As a result, it reduces the occurrence of constipation, relieves stress on the pancreas and enzyme systems, regulates sodium and supports kidney function. Animal studies show that coconut water consumption reduces plaque formation in the arteries which in turn reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. There is also evidence to suggest that it promotes healthy blood pressure levels and cardiovascular function.

4. Super Support During Pregnancy and Lactation: Pregnancy isn’t easy on a woman’s body-- morning sickness, heartburn, weight gain, constipation, stretch marks and fluid retention are all related to poor hydration, which is why The Institute of Medicine recommends ten cups of fluid per day. Coconut water is an ideal source of hydration, improving circulation, digestion, and Ph balance. Since fluids improve skin elasticity, the chances of stretch marks are diminished. Additionally, fluids aid in the absorption of water-soluble vitamins like ascorbic acid and the B vitamins which are crucial to fetal development. Doctors recommend 13 cups of fluid daily for lactating women, making coconut water a natural all-purpose option.

5. An Essential Aid When Kids Are Sick: When infants and children vomit or have diarrhea from intestinal flu or other stomach ailments, they too lose precious essential electrolytes which must be replaced rapidly to prevent dehydration. Many pediatric drinks contain dyes and are high in sugar which poses other health issues. O.N.E. Coconut Water has a refreshing natural taste without added sugars, a plus since pediatricians (and legislators) now recommend parents reduce the amount of sweetened drinks their children consume to help them develop a taste for non-sweetened beverages.

6. Revitalizes the Elderly: Dehydration in the aged is a growing concern for doctors. An overall lack of proper diet is a typical syndrome with the elderly and this includes a lack of adequate fluid intake which impacts circulation and blood pressure. Many older people are also taking drugs that increase urine output which in turn increases dehydration. The loss of minerals and carbohydrates exacerbates a host of other issues, including glaucoma, so a daily dose of coconut water benefits the aging in myriad ways.

7. The Definitive Sports Drink: O.N.E. Coconut Water is excellent for naturally replacing electrolytes and glucose lost during exercise, especially potassium which regulates sodium in the body. Potassium positively affects circulation, body temperature, heart function and blood pressure-- issues related to extreme levels of exercise. O.N.E. Coconut Water contains 15 times the potassium of most sports drinks and two times more than a banana! And, because it promotes rapid absorption by speeding fluids to the muscles, it keeps athletes, and anyone who exercises, fully refreshed for practice and performance.

8. An Indispensable Travel Companion: Coconut water rehydrates during travel all year long. Light weight Tetra Pak cartons slip into a handbag or backpack effortlessly, making them easy to take anywhere. For those with existing circulatory problems and swollen limbs, potassium is especially crucial during air travel. In fact, The American Medical Association found that beverages containing electrolytes and carbohydrates are more effective than water for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), making O.N.E. Coconut Water a great beverage to drink just before boarding a plane (you can find O.N.E. Coconut Water at airports across the country, including JFK and LAX).

9. A Natural Beauty Boost: Coconut water keeps skin soft, supple and smooth by hydrating naturally at the cellular level. It is known to relieve dry itchy skin and can even be used on a cotton ball as a toner to soothe and refresh. The use of a chemical and additive-free beauty aid is also a huge benefit to the body.

10. A Hangover Helper: Alcohol is a diuretic which depletes minerals needed for the body to function normally. It also causes acids to accumulate in the stomach and intestines which inflames the stomach lining resulting in heartburn. The alkaline Ph of coconut water soothes the digestive tract and helps the liver and kidney filter out toxins. O.N.E.

Ozomatli vs KCRW Soundclash

Ozomatli vs KCRW Soundclash
Remix Project
Five KCRW DJ’s remix songs from the Grammy-winning Latin ensemble’s latest release on Mercer Street / Downtown Records

http://www.kcrw.com/soundclash

Los Angeles-based public radio station KCRW (89.9FM and KCRW.com) is proud to announce their latest exclusive CD release -- the Ozomatli vs KCRW Soundclash Remix Project. Grammy-winning Latin ensemble Ozomatli is one of LA’s proudest musical exports, serving as Cultural Ambassadors – both literally and figuratively – for the city’s melting pot of musical influences.

KCRW Music Director and host of Morning Becomes Eclectic Jason Bentley, Anthony Valadez, Aaron Byrd, Anne Litt and Tom Schnabel all remix songs from the collective’s soon-to-be-released fifth studio album “Fire Away” as part of this unique creative collaboration between KCRW and Mercer Street / Downtown Records. (see below for tracklisting)

“The Soundclash series was envisioned as a chance for KCRW DJs to get more involved in the creative process of an artist we feel strongly about and the results of the Ozo Soundclash are truly inspired,” said Bentley.

“Take Anne Litt's re-imagining of the vocals for "Love Comes Down," with a capella group Sonos, or the subtle beauty of the sitar performance on Anthony Valadez' version of the same song. Tom Schnabel turns in a dreamy and soulful take on the song "45" and Aaron Byrd transforms "Are You Ready" into a frenetic percussion workout. Each remix is unique and represents the individuality of the talented crew we have on air here at KCRW.”

This is the second installment of the Soundclash series, where KCRW DJs take a turn remixing a favorite, socially conscious artist. Femi Kuti vs KCRW was released in 2009.

KCRW was the first radio station to play Ozomatli’s music, long before they were signed to a label. The station also hosted their live performance debut in 1997 on Morning Becomes Eclectic. They will make their 7th appearance on Morning Becomes Eclectic Thursday, April 22 at 11:15am.

The six-song Ozomatli vs KCRW Soundclash EP, which also includes Ozomatli’s original version of their single “It’s Only Paper” from “Fire Away,” can be heard streaming in its entirety on KCRW.com.

Also, the “Love Comes Down” remix from Anthony Valadez is available as a free download on KCRW.com and media outlets are welcome to offer it on their own sites as well. Find all of this and more here: http://www.kcrw.com/soundclash

Like KCRW, Ozomatli is a quintessential Los Angeles cultural institution and, on the verge of the release of their fifth studio album, the band is as essential as they’ve ever been, showcasing one of the most exciting and progressive sounds in Latin music.

Don’t miss their appearance at the Hollywood Bowl when they perform as part of KCRW’s World Festival on Sunday, September 19. Also, Ozomatli have an in-store performance scheduled for their release day at Amoeba Music, Hollywood on April 20, 2010 at 6pm.

Road Trip to the San Fran Winter Fancy Food Show

O.N.E. Director of Sales, John Slee, and O.N.E. Marketing Manager, Lucy Rendler-Kaplan, took the O.N.E. van, and made the drive from L.A. to San Francisco today, to set up for the Winter Fancy Food Show.

We started at 5 a.m. The van takes diesel gas, which is really nice, as we made the entire drive, only using 1/2 of a tank of gas.



This is the back of our van:



We then were on the road. It was a really easy drive, and we made it in less than 5.5 hours.
Here are a few other shots from the drive.







We will be posting more from the Fancy Food Show, tomorrow!
