The young coconut kefir you would make using our Kefir Starter and our CocoBiotic are very similar, but not exactly the same.
The CocoBiotic contains a variety of Lactobacillus bacteria, and the base ingredients used in the fermentation process of the Cocobiotic also include more than just coconut water; honey, grains, seeds, and legumes are also used in the process. A list of these ingredients can be found here, as well as additional product information on the Cocobiotic:
