R1,3 Butanediol Hard Ketones Alcohol, KetoneAid Ester for Sports & Brain Performance | Frank Llosa

An alternative to alcohol that gives you a buzz and supports your health and performance?

This drink is the secret weapon of Tour de France athletes, NASA, Olympians, Fortune 100 CEOs, neuroscientists, and other high-achievers.
