Stay healthy with Keto-BEAM a micronutrient and electrolyte support liquid that gives your immune system a fighting chance with a 1-2-3 Punch.  ONE: Provide support to cellular nutrition, giving your whole system the energy necessary to fight disease. TWO: Provide the tools your body needs to rid itself of toxins and bio-waste, like having a 24-hour a day cleaning service. THREE: Provide both in a 100% bioavailable liquid format and you have just given yourself a fighting chance against health challenges like the flu. I really like their Insta-Lytes: Electrolyte Misting Spray. Just spray it on and the electrolytes in Insta-Lytes start working to soften cramps, soothe body aches, clear lactic acid and detox the cells.
