Did you know you can add BEAM Minerals to smoothies?
A shot of BEAM Minerals will give any meal a mineral boost. It provides the full spectrum of essential minerals, without affecting flavor or texture.
BEAM Minerals also contains fulvic complexes that enhance nutrient absorption. It makes your existing food more nutritious, so you can get more out of your meal.
In this article, we’ll talk about how BEAM Minerals can make your meals better. We’ve also included three smoothie recipes to get you started.
Modern Food Is Short on Nutrients
Nutrient density in food has been declining for the last 50 years. It’s at an all-time low, with agricultural researchers calling it “the biggest challenge for future generations’ health.” [ * ]
The mineral content of food has seen an especially sharp decline. There are two main reasons:
-
Pesticide use. Pesticides help crops survive, but they also degrade soil quality, destroying essential bacteria and making nutrients less available to plants. [ * ]
- Nutrient dilution. Industrial farmers breed crops to maximize yield, not nutrition. Modern farms produce more volume, but with fewer nutrients per fruit or vegetable. This is called nutrient dilution, and it’s a major driver of decreased nutrition in modern food. [ * ]
The truth is that today, it’s almost impossible to get the minerals your body needs from diet alone . More than 90% of American adults have at least one mineral deficiency. [ * ] Sadly, food is no longer enough.
Upgrade Your Food with Plant-Based Minerals
Fortunately, there’s an easy way to fix nutrient dilution: add minerals back to your food.
BEAM Minerals make this easy. A single ounce of BEAM provides every essential mineral your body needs, all in a concentrated liquid form. It also tastes like water.
Adding BEAM Minerals to your cooking won’t affect flavor or texture. Our minerals are also heat-stable and won’t be harmed by physical forces, like blending.
Best of all, the fulvic complexes in BEAM make other nutrients easier to absorb. That means you get more nutrition from the food you eat.
In a 2015 study, researchers added fulvic to nutrient-rich solutions and measured changes in bioavailability. [ * ]
Fulvic made magnesium 74% more bioavailable and calcium 60-104% more bioavailable.
Fulvic also increased absorption of zinc (350% increase) and iron (264% increase).
In short, BEAM Minerals does two things: adds extra minerals and enhances the existing nutrients in your meal. It’s the perfect way to give your diet a nutrition upgrade.

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.
