Remember PacMan?  This is him eating up coronaviruses 🙂 The cool thing is we actually have little PacMen in our bloodstream, called “macrophages”. A macrophage is a large white blood cell that’s an essential part of our immune system. A macrophage has the ability to locate and “eat” particles, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites! So, seriously, this is why it’s important to keep our cells happy!  Because we want all the PacMen (white blood cells) in our bloodstream to have everything they need to support their activities. The plant-based humic and fulvic complexes in Keto-BEAM provide the full spectrum of necessary electrolytes and micronutrients your white blood cells need to keep on. . . “ PacMan-ing"!
