ECO-CERTIFIED ‘MERCI BUCO’ COCO WATER LAUNCHED

A new brand of coconut water, Merci Buco, was recently launched by the firm Locally.  Locally Merci Buco offers the first eco-certified organic coconut water sourced from  local farms in Bicol and Quezon, assuring consumers not only of 100% freshness but also of its numerous health benefits: low calorie content (only 40 calories per serving); no sugar added (for plain coco water); no fat and cholesterol; and gluten-free.  It is likewise pure, unadultered coconut water (not from concentrates) and is a non-GMO product.  

Locally Merci Buco also has the natural properties of coco water such as antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes, B-complex vitamins, vitamins C, and minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese and zinc. Loaded with electrolytes that boost one’s energy level, Locally Merci Buco is the perfect post-workout drink for fitness enthusiasts.  Its rich potassium content also makes it a healthier alternative to sweetened and carbonated sports and energy drinks. 

Locally Merci Buco is certified by both the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and EcoCert.  This ensures the 100% organic drink’s quality and integrity, which means the coconuts were grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, or ionizing radiation. Merci Buco is now available at local supermarkets such as Rustan’s, and select Puregold and Robinsons supermarkets nationwide.  Merci Buco is also available in some stores in the US and the Middle East.
