Why Ryan Fuels up with blk.

Super hydrating blk. water is known for its beneficial patented fulvic trace mineral blend sourced from rich mineral deposits found deep within the earth. Once added to purified water, fulvic minerals turn the water black naturally (without the use of any artificial dyes or colorings). The blk. formula delivers powerful electrolytes, trace minerals, and an alkaline pH water beverage without any carbs, calories,

or sugar.

Ryan Lochte fuels up with blk. for the following reasons:

• Improves Endurance: Fulvic Acid naturally boosts a body’s ability for physical activities. The nutrients in blk. provide useable oxygen directly to the cells to accelerate the healing process and increase endurance. 
  
• Anti-inflammatory: Fulvic Acid helps increase antioxidants in the body and prepares it to better fight health issues, such as headache, muscle pain, nerve pain, and arthritis. 
  
• Nutrient Absorption: Fulvic Acid boosts vitamin levels, making them 10-times more effective when taken with blk. 
  
• Increases Energy: Electrolytes are charged minerals and compounds that produce energy and assist in contracting the muscles. Fulvic enhances a body’s performance by increasing ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), which provides power and eliminates free radicals.
  

"We're very excited about our partnership and collaboration with Ryan Lochte. Our entire team at blk. wishes him success and luck this weekend at the Swim Trials in Omaha, and hope blk. will help bring home another gold for Lochte in Tokyo this Summer," said Sara Bergstein, CEO of blk. water.
