Minerals can’t cure autoimmune disease, but they can help you feel better.
Autoimmunity is hard on your body. The stress it causes can deplete your mineral stores faster than usual, which may worsen how you feel day-to-day.
Minerals don’t fix autoimmune issues, but they can help with fatigue, pain, sleep, stress, and other common autoimmune challenges. Restoring mineral balance is a simple, natural way to give your body some extra support.
Fortunately, mineral replenishment is easy. Let’s talk about the best minerals for autoimmune conditions, minerals for inflammation, and how you can use minerals to feel better, starting today.
Autoimmunity Depletes Your Mineral Stores
Minerals are one of your first defenses against stress. Your cells use magnesium as a sort of shield, guarding against the physical damage stress causes. [*] But if you’re constantly under background stress, from an autoimmune condition, for example, your magnesium stores deplete over time. [*]
The problem is that low magnesium sensitizes your immune system, which can make autoimmunity worse. [*] Low magnesium can contribute to inflammation and flare-ups. [*] Those flare-ups cause stress, which further depletes your magnesium. You can end up in a vicious cycle where you’re depleted and exhausted all the time.
The good news is that replenishing magnesium can turn things around. Research shows that increasing your magnesium stores boosts your stress tolerance [*][*] and stabilizes your immune response. [*] Restoring magnesium balance can help you break the cycle so you can start to feel good again.
Iron is also important for autoimmunity, especially for women. Women need more than twice as much iron as men, and they’re at higher risk of deficiency. [*]
Research shows that low iron is a common contributor to poor thyroid function and autoimmune issues. The same research shows that replenishing iron can restore thyroid balance and improve things like chronic daytime fatigue. [*]
If you have an autoimmune condition and you feel tired or foggy all the time, you may be dealing with a hidden mineral deficiency. A daily mineral formula is a good way to give your body some extra support.
Replenish These Minerals to Soothe Inflammation
Inflammation is a common problem in autoimmunity. It often causes pain, as well as sleep issues and fatigue.
While minerals won’t fix an autoimmune condition, they can soothe inflammation and help ease flare-ups. Selenium is particularly helpful. It’s a natural antioxidant, which means it protects your cells from inflammatory stress. [*]
A 2021 review looked at selenium levels in people with autoimmune thyroid conditions. Low selenium was linked to more severe symptoms, and replenishing selenium to a normal range significantly eased symptoms. In fact, for those with autoimmune thyroid conditions, many doctors suggest taking selenium alongside prescription thyroid medication. [*]
Zinc also helps with inflammation. A 2018 meta-analysis found that autoimmune patients are at high risk of zinc deficiency, which makes systemic inflammation worse. [*] Replenishing zinc reduced bodywide inflammation and helped with pain and fatigue.
Inflammation can be one of the most draining parts of autoimmune disease. Replenishing your mineral stores may help.

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.
