Menopause is the largest hormonal shift in a woman’s life. It usually happens between ages 45 and 55, and while it’s a natural part of aging, it’s a difficult time for a lot of women.
During menopause your estrogen and progesterone production drops by more than 90%. That can come with a lot of side effects, from hot flashes, night sweats, and insomnia to muscle pain and mood swings.
Menopause also changes the way your body uses minerals. Your mineral needs go up during your menopause years—and providing your cells with plenty of essential minerals is one of the best ways to ease menopause symptoms.
Here’s a closer look at the symptoms of menopause and how a plant-based mineral supplement can help.
Menopause marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. It usually starts between ages of 45 and 55, although in rare cases it can happen as early as 35 or as late as 60.
During menopause your ovaries gradually shut down. They produce fewer and fewer sex hormones—especially estrogen and progesterone—which can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
Hot flashes
Night sweats
Insomnia or trouble sleeping
Anxiety
Depression
Irregular or absent period
Pain, especially muscle pain
Irritability
Fatigue
Brain fog
Decreased libido
Vaginal dryness
Loss of bone density
Thinning hair
If you’re over age 35 and start to experience the above symptoms, there’s a good chance you’re beginning the transition into menopause. It can be a scary time—but don’t worry! If you give your body a little extra support you can ease a lot of the side effects of menopause.
During menopause your estrogen and progesterone levels fall by more than 90%. [ * ] The sudden drop in sex hormones is what causes most of the side effects of menopause.
If you want to smooth the transition and minimize negative side effects, your best bet is to support your body’s natural hormone production. But hormones are expensive to make, particularly when it comes to minerals.
Minerals are often the limiting factor in hormone production, and as you go through menopause, you need even more minerals than usual in order to replace lost estrogen and progesterone.
The good news is that replenishing your minerals can make a big difference to the way you experience menopause. Research shows that giving your body plenty of minerals can encourage natural hormone production and ease many of the side effects of menopause:
A 2014 study found that increasing iron and zinc levels encouraged progesterone production, which improved mood and cognition in perimenopausal women . [ * ]
Another study found that taking a boron supplement increased estrogen levels in postmenopausal women , and also reversed bone density lost during menopause . [ * ]
A 2015 study found that increasing selenium levels reduced inflammation (a common cause of menopausal pain) and lowered stroke risk in postmenopausal women . [ * ]
A 2009 study found that increasing magnesium significantly reduced hot flashes in menopausal women . [ * ] The author concluded that this was likely due to increased estrogen levels.
A good mineral supplement can make a huge difference during menopause . If you’re struggling with menopause, replenishing your mineral stores will help more than you might think.
Menopause is one of the biggest physical changes in a woman’s life. Your body is going through a huge hormonal shift that can leave you depleted and struggling to find balance.
If you’re having a hard time with menopause, give yourself some extra support with a good mineral supplement. Minerals will help smooth the menopause transition and ease a lot of the common side effects that come with menopause.

Yes, in fact, BEAM Minerals will enhance the bioavailability of all your other supplements.
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”.
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.
