Do you get sick every time the seasons change?
If so, you aren’t alone. Each year, seasonal shifts cause a big increase in illness, especially as summer transitions into fall.
Seasonal colds and flus have multiple causes. The good news is you can be ready for them.
Loading up on minerals helps prepare your body for seasonal illness. Mineral replenishment supports your immune system, so you feel your best when the weather starts to change.
Let’s talk about why everyone seems to get sick when the seasons shift, and how you can get a head start on your wellbeing as we head into autumn.
Why Do You Get Sick When the Seasons Change?
Changing weather causes an increase in illness, especially during fall and winter. [*]
There are several reasons you get sick when the seasons change. Shifting weather impairs your immune system and creates a comfortable environment for pathogens, both of which leave you more susceptible to illness. This is especially true in the shift from summer to fall, when temperatures drop.
These are a few key reasons for seasonal illness:
Why Seasonal Illness Happens
Cause |
Explanation |
Cold weather |
Cold, dry air pulls moisture from your nose and throat. Your mucous membranes dry out, allowing viruses to enter your body more easily. [*] |
Stronger viruses |
Cold and flu viruses have fatty protective coatings that “melt” in the heat, killing the virus. Cool weather helps viruses survive in the air longer, allowing them to spread illness. [*] |
More time indoors |
Viruses spread better in contained areas. Sudden temperature changes—both hot and cold—cause people to crowd together indoors, increasing the spread of colds and flus. [*] |
Weakened immunity |
Sudden shifts in temperature release pollutants and allergens into the environment. Dealing with them stresses your immune system, leaving you open to bacteria and viruses. [*] |
All these factors can cause you to get sick when the weather changes, particularly from the heat of summer to the cool of autumn.
The Best Minerals for Seasonal Immunity
Minerals are a simple, natural way to boost your immunity. If you struggle with seasonal illness, a good mineral formula can make a world of difference.
In 2023, scientists published a hallmark paper in the Journal of Immunology Research, titled “Understanding How Minerals Contribute To Optimal Immune Function.” The study found that you need five specific minerals to maintain strong immune function: [*]
-
Zinc regulates the power of your inflammatory response. When a virus or bacterium enters your body, zinc helps you mount a strong, immediate attack to destroy the invader. It also helps you shut that inflammation off afterward, so you don’t have lingering negative effects.
-
Copper works alongside zinc. They regulate each other to keep your inflammatory response from falling out of balance, so it’s important that you have plenty of both.
-
Magnesium powers up your innate immunity—your built-in, overall defense against illness and infection.
-
Selenium improves your adaptive immunity. When you first encounter a virus or bacterium, selenium helps your immune system remember it. If the same pathogen comes back—like a yearly cold or flu virus—selenium boosts your ability to attack it and get rid of it before it makes you sick.
- Iron provides energy for immune cells when you’re actively sick. Increasing iron won’t prevent a cold or flu, but it can help you get rid of them faster and restore your wellbeing.
If you want to prepare yourself for the upcoming shift to cold weather, try increasing your body’s mineral stores. These five minerals work together to help you fight off the cold and flu before they take hold.

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.
