The blk. formula delivers powerful electrolytes, trace minerals, and an alkaline pH water beverage without any carbs, calories, or sugar.
“It’s not every day you get to work with a nationally recognized physician and nutrition expert who believes in the healing powers of our product," said Sara Bergstein, CEO of blk. water. “As you can imagine, with Dr. Melina’s impressive background, she is very selective when it comes to supporting products and we’re grateful for her partnership.”
