The Mineral Edge: Enhancing Men's Health at Every Age
|
Read Time 5 min
Men are at a higher risk for most mineral deficiencies than women, partly because our bodies use more minerals on a daily basis. [ * ] More than 90% of American men have at least one mineral deficiency. [ * ]
The good news is that correcting mineral deficiencies is a simple process—and getting more minerals is an easy way to boost your testosterone production, increase your longevity, speed up muscle recovery, and more.
Here’s a look at why minerals matter for men’s health, and how to increase your mineral intake so you look and feel your best.
Minerals and Testosterone Production
Minerals play a major role in testosterone production. They’re important for both the synthesis and distribution of testosterone, and research shows that mineral depletion is a driving factor for low testosterone. [ * ][ * ]
Here are some specific minerals that are essential for supporting your testosterone levels:
- Magnesium increases testosterone production and enhances the effectiveness of existing free testosterone. [ * ] Recent research has found that low magnesium decreases testosterone levels. [ * ] More than 60% of Americans are deficient in magnesium. [ * ]
- Boron increases the bioavailability of existing testosterone. [ * ] A 2011 study found that healthy men who took a boron supplement for a week saw a nearly 40% increase in free testosterone levels. [ * ]
- Zinc is an essential cofactor for testosterone production. Even slightly low zinc levels (toward the bottom of the “acceptable range” in standard zinc tests) cause a drop in testosterone in men, [ * ] while a zinc supplement significantly increases both testosterone production and free testosterone levels. [ * ][ * ]
- Selenium works alongside zinc as a cofactor for testosterone biosynthesis. [ * ] It’s also essential for sperm synthesis and overall male fertility. [ * ]
Minerals for Sexual Wellness and Longevity
Blood flow across your body begins to decrease after about age 35. For men, this translates to two things: decreased erection quality [ * ] and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. [ * ]
Decreased blood flow causes an increase in blood pressure, which in turn increases chances of a stroke and stresses your heart. [ * ] As you age, it’s important to keep certain mineral levels high, for both your sex life and your overall health.
Several minerals are involved in blood flow. You need balanced levels of magnesium, sodium, calcium, and potassium to stabilize blood pressure and encourage blood flow throughout your body. [ * ]
The problem is that there’s a good chance you don’t get enough of these minerals.
- 97% of Americans are deficient in potassium. [ * ]
- 60% have low magnesium levels, with about 45% of people in the clinically deficient range. [ * ]
- 65% are low in calcium. [ * ]
These mineral shortages may not feel like much when you’re young, but as you enter your thirties they can start to cause problems with blood flow, translating to both decreased erection quality [ * ] and increased heart disease risk. [ * ]
Support Your Testosterone and Longevity with Minerals
Every single cell in your body relies on minerals to function. If you want to support your body’s natural testosterone production, keep blood flow strong, and live a long, thriving life for decades to come, it’s important that you give your body the raw materials it needs to run properly.
That’s why we’ve created the Men’s Complete Mineral Support Kit . It has everything you need to support optimal hormone production and balance your mineral stores, so you feel good every day.
The Men’s Kit includes:
Micro-BOOST ™ : a liquid supplement that contains every essential mineral your body needs, in the right ratios, with close to 100% bioavailability. Just take a shot of it every morning to replenish your mineral stores (don’t worry; it tastes like water).
Electrolyze ™ :the other half of the mineral support quotient, contains flavonoids that form complexes with minerals, increasing absorption and helping deliver them to your cells within minutes.
Electro-BOOST ™ : A capsule version of the two above supplements that you can take while you’re traveling, when you’re drinking alcohol, on nights when you need a little extra energy, or any other time you could use a boost.
Insta-Lytes ™ : A misting spray that absorbs through your skin and delivers electrolytes directly to your muscles. This stuff is great for stopping muscle cramps and helping muscles recover faster—and because it’s a spray, you can use it to spot-treat whatever muscles are sore or cramping. Just spray and rub it in. Your muscles will relax within minutes.
Minerals are a simple (and often overlooked!) part of men’s wellness. Most of us don’t get enough of them, and replenishing them can make a huge difference in how you feel. If you want to support your natural testosterone production and increase your longevity, give our Men’s Mineral Kit a try. You’ll notice the difference within a few days.

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.
