Yes, minerals are a great option for seasonal allergy relief. Minerals play a central role in immune function, and increasing key minerals can reduce your sensitivity to seasonal allergens.
Several minerals act as natural antihistamines, blocking your body’s inflammatory response to pollen, dust, and other common allergy triggers. Other minerals stabilize your immune system, making it harder for allergens to trigger a reaction.
If you deal with spring allergies every year, minerals can help. Here are the best minerals for allergy relief, and how boosting key minerals can help you breathe easier when allergy season hits.
How Common Are Seasonal Allergies?
A 2018 study found that about 25% of people worldwide experience seasonal allergies every year. [*]
The two most common allergens were pollen and dust, and most people’s symptoms were the worst in springtime, though summer months were also a frequent problem.
What Causes Seasonal Allergies?
Seasonal allergies are caused by an overly sensitive immune system. Your immune system labels a harmless substance—like pollen or dust—as a threat, then mounts an inflammatory response to eliminate the substance from your body. [*]
You can develop allergies for a number of reasons. Genetics, childhood environment, aging, and nutritional deficiencies can all increase your sensitivity to allergens.
Whatever the cause, the mechanism behind allergies is always the same:
Allergen exposure. Your body encounters an allergen, like grass pollen, in your environment.
Immune response. Your immune system reacts, making antibodies to attack that allergen.
Mast cell activation. The antibodies travel through your body, binding to mast cells in your nose, lungs, and skin.
Histamine release. Your mast cells start pumping out histamine, which triggers a big inflammatory response.
Allergic reaction. You experience sneezing, coughing, congestion, hives, watery eyes, itching, and all the other signs of an allergic reaction.
The good news is you can control your body’s immune response. Minerals are especially good at regulating immunity, which helps reduce your sensitivity to allergens.
These Minerals Make You Less Sensitive to Allergens
A 2024 review found that mineral deficiencies are a major predictor of seasonal allergies. [*]
Minerals keep your immune system balanced. They work in two ways:
Stabilizing your mast cells, so they don’t react so strongly to harmless substances like pollen.
Blocking histamine release. This reduces the inflammatory reaction that causes sneezing, watery eyes, hives, and other signs of an allergic attack.
Several different minerals can help reduce your sensitivity to allergens.
A 2023 review found that zinc, iron, and selenium act as natural antihistamines. Getting more of these three minerals can make your seasonal allergies significantly more mild. [*]
A 2022 study found that copper and zinc also work together to relieve seasonal allergies. [*] People with higher levels of copper and zinc report fewer allergic responses during allergy season.
A 2006 study found that calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium work together to stabilize mast cells, making your immune system less reactive. [*] People with high levels of these minerals had less severe or nonexistent allergies, while those with deficiencies experienced worse allergy symptoms.
Minerals are a natural, effective way to relieve seasonal allergies. They offer fast relief without drowsiness or fatigue, which makes them a popular alternative to over-the-counter allergy pills.

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.
