Electrolyze™ is our high-end liquid electrolyte replenishment. What sets it apart from the average electrolyte powder?
The major benefit of Electrolyze™ is better bioavailability. Our electrolytes reach your cells within minutes, delivering hydration you can feel.
The secret is an ingredient called fulvic complex. Here’s a look at how it works, and why it makes Electrolyze™ better than most electrolyte supplements.
Why Fulvic Electrolytes Are Better
Electrolyze™ is rich in fulvic complexes—mineral-rich substances that come from deep soil.
Fulvic forms over millennia, as plants break down and deposit their nutrients into the earth. Over time, those nutrients bind together into a dark, crystalline, mineral-rich substance. We take that substance, process it with filtered water, and purify it into fulvic.
Because it’s a concentrate from thousands of plants, fulvic is extraordinarily nutrient-dense. It’s nature’s ideal mineral supplement: rich in electrolytes, antioxidants, and other plant-based nutrients.
But the real magic of fulvic is its structure. Fulvic molecules have a huge surface area, covered with little chemical arms that can grab onto minerals and carry them. A single fulvic molecule can carry several times its weight in electrolytes.
As a result, fulvic acts like a taxi : it carries minerals through your digestion, through your bloodstream, and directly to your cells, where it drops them off as they’re needed.
The result is far superior electrolyte absorption. A 2015 study looked at how fulvic affects the absorption of different minerals. [ * ] The authors found that fulvic increased:
Calcium absorption by 104%
Magnesium absorption by 74%
Zinc absorption by 350%
- Iron absorption by 264%
Attaching a mineral to fulvic is one of the best ways to improve absorption. That’s what sets Electrolyze™ apart. It has much better bioavailability than standard, salt-based electrolyte products.
Fulvic Electrolytes Vs. Standard Electrolyte Powders
Most powders and sports drinks are salt-based electrolytes. There’s a reason so many manufacturers use them. They’re cheap to make, remain shelf-stable for years, and take flavorings and colorants easily.
But there are problems with salt-based electrolytes:
1. They’re mostly sodium. Sodium chloride (table salt) is very inexpensive and dissolves freely in water, so most electrolyte manufacturers use sodium as their primary electrolyte. If you check the label, you’ll probably see a huge amount of sodium, with very little potassium, magnesium, and calcium.
The issue is that we don’t need more sodium. The average American already consumes 160% more sodium than is healthy. [ * ]
What we need are those other electrolytes: potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Which leads to the second problem with salt-based electrolytes.
2. They’re low in the electrolytes you actually need. Nearly 60% of Americans are deficient in magnesium, and 97% of Americans are deficient in potassium. [ * ] Those are the electrolytes we need most—not sodium.
But magnesium and potassium salts don’t absorb well in water. If you add more than a small amount, they just settle in the bottom as a powder. They’re also extremely bitter when in salt form.
That’s why most electrolytes contain so little magnesium and potassium. Giving you an effective amount would make the product very unpleasant. Instead, producers load up on sodium to make their labels look impressive—but their product isn’t really delivering the minerals you need.
Fulvic minerals avoid all these problems :
They dissolve freely in water.
They have no taste.
They contain the full spectrum of electrolytes, in an ideal ratio.
- They absorb almost immediately, thanks to their fulvic-bound structure.
In short, fulvic electrolytes are more effective than salt-based electrolyte powders. That’s why we use them in Electrolyze™.
Electrolyze™: The Better Electrolyte Replenishment
If you want to upgrade your electrolyte replenishment routine, give Electrolyze™ a try. It’s perfect for staying hydrated and leveling up your workouts.
We make things simple. Just take a 0.5-ounce shot of Electrolyze™ with breakfast, or add it to your water bottle and drink it throughout the day. It delivers all the electrolytes you need to feel your best.

FAQs
Can I take BEAM Minerals with my other supplements?
Yes, in fact, BEAM Minerals will enhance the bioavailability of all your other supplements.
What is the difference between Micro-BOOST™ and Electrolyze™?
Electrolyze™ is primarily composed of Fulvic Mineral Complexes . Fulvic complexes are small molecules that provide inter-cellular transport for nutritional elements into the cells and carry bio-waste out of the cells. Fulvic complexes are flavonoids , which provide many benefits in the body.
Micro-BOOST™ is primarily composed of the Humic Mineral Complexes . Humic complexes are large molecules that are extra-cellular, meaning they do not enter the cells but stay outside the cells. They are highly-charged molecules that attract, through their electrical charge, bio-waste, free radicals and heavy metals. They ultimately carry bio-waste out of the body. Thus, we call them “Nature’s Janitor”.
How many milligrams (mg) of an electrolyte (Potassium, Magnesium, Sodium, Calcium, etc.) is there in BEAM Minerals?
The quantities of each element in BEAM Minerals products are measured in “parts per million” (ppm), rather than the “milligrams” (mg). Here is the information which usually helps to understand the difference:
Milligrams (mg) vs parts per million (ppm)
In comparing our products to other supplements, people want to know how much of an electrolyte is in our products (like potassium, magnesium, sodium, calcium). Usually they are looking for an amount in milligrams (mg).
We have a hard time answering that question, because the electrolytes (and other elements) in BEAM Minerals products are measured in parts per million (ppm). So how can consumers compare?
The answer is a little complex, but here’s the high points.
The electrolytes in BEAM Minerals products are provided in “trace” amounts that are completely dissolved and thus 100% bio-available, immediately introduced into your circulation when you consumed them and will produce and active effect.
When you take a 320mg pill of magnesium, your body is only able utilize about 12-20% of it as it takes some time because your body has to digest it first. Whatever is not dissolved gets processed out of your body.
When you take a capful of liquid Electrolyze™ and/or Micro-BOOST™, you receive approximately 5.22 ppm of magnesium in which 100% of the magnesium is immediately available to your body. In addition, an important to know is that the magnesium in BEAM Minerals products stay in your system much longer building up healthy levels as you continue to take it daily.
