Do your mineral supplements actually work?
If you take large amounts of single minerals like magnesium, zinc, iron, or calcium, you may want to rethink your supplement routine.
Minerals are great for you. They support nearly every process in your body, from brain function to fat burning to making hormones. Keeping your mineral stores full is one of the best things you can do for your overall well-being.
But a lot of mineral supplements don’t work as well as they claim. They’re in a form that’s hard for your body to absorb, or they contain too much of one mineral without enough of another.
Humic and fulvic minerals avoid all these pitfalls. They deliver every essential mineral, in an ideal ratio, with high bioavailability and rapid absorption. Plus they’re eco-friendly and derived from natural sources.
Let’s talk about humic and fulvic minerals: what they are, why they’re so good for you, and why you should consider taking them instead of standard mineral supplements.
What Are Humic and Fulvic Minerals?
Humic and fulvic minerals come from humate, a black, crystalline substance found in ancient soil.
Humate forms over thousands of years. When trees, shrubs, and other plants decompose, they deposit their nutrients into the ground. The minerals and antioxidants from the plants bind together in the soil, and over millennia, they crystallize into humate.
If you purify humate, you get two distinct substances: humic and fulvic. Both are incredibly mineral-rich, and their structure makes them two of the best things you can take to replenish your mineral stores.
Humic and Fulvic Enhance Mineral Absorption
Normally, when you take a mineral supplement, a large percentage of the minerals don’t actually reach your cells. They pass through your digestive or get filtered out of your blood, so you don’t see any benefit from them.
That’s where humic and fulvic come in. Humic and fulvic are huge, sprawling molecules with lots of binding sites on their surfaces. You can picture them as giant spheres covered in little hands. When they come into contact with minerals, those hands reach out and grab the minerals, holding them tight and carrying them along for the ride.
If you swallow humic and fulvic, they travel through your digestion and into your bloodstream, bringing all those minerals with them. As humic and fulvic pass mineral-hungry cells, the cells can pluck off any minerals they need. Humic and fulvic act like a taxi service, delivering minerals exactly where your body needs them most.
In fact, humic and fulvic make minerals much easier to absorb. A 2015 study found that binding minerals to humic and fulvic increased: [*]
Calcium absorption by 104%.
Magnesium absorption by 74%.
Zinc absorption by 350%.
Iron absorption by 264%.
Humic and fulvic are super-effective for mineral replenishment. Their unique structure means they work faster and better than standard minerals.
Humic and Fulvic Vs. Single-Mineral Supplements
Here’s the traditional approach to mineral replenishment. If you think your minerals are low, you go to a healthcare professional and get your levels tested. If the results show any imbalances, your practitioner will give you a routine with a bunch of different mineral supplements. You’ll take them for a couple months, go back for another test, adjust your routine, and continue until you fix the issue.
This approach has a couple downsides. First, it’s expensive—it requires multiple visits to a practitioner, plus multiple pills every day. Over the course of several months, you’ll end up paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars in costs.
The other issue is that high-strength, single-mineral supplements often create as many problems as they solve.
Minerals almost never work alone in your body. They function in pairs and trios. For example, magnesium and potassium need each other to absorb properly. [*] Zinc also affects magnesium absorption—when people increase zinc on its own, they often develop magnesium deficiencies. [*]
Minerals are a complex, interconnected web. If you try to replenish them with single-mineral supplements, you’ll likely end up causing new imbalances as you fix old ones.
Humic and fulvic make mineral balance simple. They contain every essential mineral the human body needs, in a naturally ideal ratio. They provide gentle, effective mineral replenishment across the board, giving your body what it needs to gradually correct deficiencies.
With mineral replenishment, balance matters most. A full-spectrum mineral formula will serve you better than high-power, single-mineral supplements.

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.
