The holiday season is a stressful time. Travel, indulgent food, alcohol, in-laws—the holidays take a greater toll on your body than any other time of year.
There’s also a good chance you’ll come back from the holidays ill. Cold and flu incidence increases dramatically in winter, and research shows airports and family gatherings are major vectors for illness. [ * ] And even if you evade sickness, you’ll likely return home feeling more depleted than rested.
So how do you stay healthy during the holidays?
Don’t worry: BEAM has you covered. Our Travel Pack is custom-made to keep you feeling your best throughout the holiday season. It has everything you need to boost immunity and relieve stress, all in a convenient travel size.
Here’s a closer look at each of the three products in our Travel Survival Kit and how they’ll help you make it through the holidays intact.

Micro-Boost: Full-Spectrum Immune Support
Micro-Boost contains every mineral your body needs to support your immune system, in ideal ratios and a fast-absorbing liquid form.
Your immune system depends on minerals to fight off illness.
Zinc helps control the on/off switch for your immune system. [ * ][ * ] You need zinc to make immune cells, and it also tells your immune cells where to go and when to attack invaders. If you don’t have enough zinc you become much more susceptible to illness. [ * ]
- Selenium regulates the intensity of your immune response. It makes sure your immune system is strong enough to kill invaders, but not so strong that it causes excess inflammation and stress. [ * ] More than 50% of women and about 25% of men don’t get enough selenium, and those numbers are expected to rise in the coming years. [ * ][ * ]
- Magnesium, copper, and iron all contribute to immune defense as well. A 2022 meta-analysis notes that, “a deficiency in any of these minerals could temporarily reduce immune competence, or even disrupt systemic inflammation regulation in the long term.” [ * ]
You need all the above minerals to support your wellbeing, particularly during winter. Cold, dry air causes the blood vessels in your respiratory tract to shrink, which makes it easier for cold and flu viruses to invade. [ * ]
You want your immune system to be robust in case any viruses make it through—which is why it’s good to take Micro-Boost, especially when you’re traveling or around large groups of people.

Electrolyze: Sleep and Stress Support
Electrolyze is packed with minerals that support recovery. It contains fulvic complexes, anti-inflammatory compounds that prevent stress and help your body absorb minerals much faster. [ * ][ * ]
Electrolyze is especially good for sleep and stress. It provides several important minerals:
- Magnesium increases GABA, your brain’s main calming neurotransmitter, [ * ] and a large body of research shows that increasing your magnesium stores improves sleep quality. [ * ]
- Boron helps your cells retain and use magnesium to produce GABA, which makes boron an important cofactor for improving sleep. [ * ]
- Potassium improves sleep efficiency, meaning it increases the time you spend in deep sleep throughout the night. [ * ]
- Magnesium also reduces psychological stress and helps you mentally recover from stress faster. [ * ] However, you need to consciously replenish it during stressful times like the holidays, as stress rapidly depletes magnesium. [ * ]
Electrolyze gives you a little extra support during the colder months. It’ll help you relax and sleep well while you travel, and it’s great for easing the stress of the holidays.
Insta-Lytes: Rapid Mineral Replenishment
Insta-Lytes contain the minerals you need for immunity, stress relief, and sleep, all in a portable liquid spray form.
Insta-Lytes absorb through your skin in seconds, which means you can top up your mineral stores at a moment’s notice.
Is the person next to you on the plane coughing? Use Insta-Lytes for instant immune support.
Planning on eating some less-than-healthy food at family dinner? Spray on some Insta-Lytes so your body is prepared to recover faster.
Having a few holiday cocktails? Alcohol depletes mineral stores, but a spray of Insta-Lytes with each drink will get your mineral levels back up and keep you feeling good.
Insta-Lytes is your secret weapon for making it through the holidays. It’s small enough to carry in your pocket or purse, but mighty enough to help you look and feel your best all season long.
So if you’re traveling for the holidays this year, make things easy with our Travel Pack . Give yourself and your loved ones some extra wellness support—so you can enjoy the holidays to the fullest.

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.
