A simple mineral formula can transform how you feel every day.
Minerals have a surprising range of benefits—and almost everyone needs more of them. Recent CDC data shows that ~90% of American adults have at least one mineral deficiency. [*] We’re all short on minerals, and it’s affecting our daily wellbeing.
Here are a few unexpected benefits of minerals, and how you can replenish your mineral stores to feel better, every day.
Minerals for Sleep
Minerals play a crucial role in sleep quality. A good mineral formula is one of the simplest, most effective things you can take to improve your sleep.
For deep, restorative rest, your brain needs three minerals: magnesium, zinc, and iron. Each of these minerals supports your brain’s sleep pathways in a different way. If you combine them all, you’ll be amazed by the difference in your sleep quality.
Minerals for Better Sleep
All you have to do is replenish your magnesium, zinc, and iron, about an hour before together. Together, they can help you get amazing sleep, starting from the very first night.
Minerals for Dental Health
Minerals also play an important, but often overlooked role in your dental health. Your teeth rely on a constant supply of minerals to stay healthy and white.
The insides of your teeth are made of soft tissue. They’re incredibly vulnerable to damage. To protect themselves, they maintain a protective layer of enamel: the white, ultra-hard coating that keeps them safe from bacteria, plaque, and other threats.
Enamel is the hardest substance in your body. It’s also 96% minerals, making it the most mineral-dense. [*] Enamel guards against bacteria, physical damage from chewing, and chemical damage from acidic foods like lemon juice.
While it keeps your inner teeth safe, enamel is constantly being worn down. Your body rebuilds it through a process called tooth remineralization. Saliva delivers a continuous supply of minerals to the surface of your teeth. Those minerals bond to damaged enamel and restore it to its pristine state. [*]
You need three minerals for tooth remineralization: fluoride, calcium, and phosphate. [*] Research shows that replenishing them strengthens your tooth enamel, reducing cavity risk and improving your overall dental health. [*][*]
Signs you may be deficient in dental minerals include:
Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold
Pain when biting semi-hard or acidic foods foods (e.g. apples, oranges)
Stained or yellowing teeth
- Cavities
If you have any of these issues, try replenishing fluoride, calcium, and phosphate. They’ll work together to rebuild your enamel and keep your teeth strong.
Minerals for Menopause
For a lot of women, menopause is one of the most challenging times in life—but minerals can make it easier.
Your body needs minerals for hormone production, mood regulation, maintaining bone health, and a number of other bodily processes affected by menopause. A large body of research shows that replenishing minerals can help ease the negative effects of menopause.

Menopause is difficult, but minerals can help. A high-quality mineral formula can support your mood, stress, hormones, hot flashes, and more.
Minerals for Cramps (both Menstrual and Muscle Cramps)
Minerals also help with both period cramps and muscle cramps.
Cramps are strong, sudden contractions in your muscle tissue. There are two main types: menstrual cramps, which happen during the end of your menstrual cycle, and muscle cramps, which happen during exercise, and sometimes during sleep.
More than 90% of women experience menstrual cramps, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. [*] They can range from mildly uncomfortable to devastating. Period cramps happen because of prostaglandins, inflammatory compounds that cause your uterine muscles to contract. You release lots of prostaglandins toward the end of your menstrual cycle.
Research shows that magnesium can help reduce the intensity of menstrual cramps. Magnesium helps your muscles relax, which can decrease the intensity of cramps. Women who took an oral magnesium formula during the second half of their cycle had fewer menstrual cramps and less pain from cramping. [*][*]
Another study found that taking magnesium and calcium together reduced inflammatory prostaglandins during the end of women’s cycles, leading to less intense period cramps. [*]
Magnesium also helps with muscle cramps during exercise or sleep. Calcium and magnesium work opposite each other: calcium causes muscles to shorten and contract, while magnesium helps muscles lengthen and relax.
If you don’t have enough magnesium, your muscles can get stuck in a painful, contracted state—a muscle cramp. [*] About 45% of American adults are magnesium-deficient, and 60% of Americans have low magnesium. [*]
If you experience muscle cramps at the gym or in the middle of the night, you may not be getting enough magnesium. Replenishing it can help reduce cramping.

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.
