Can mineral deficiencies cause chronic health problems?
Yes, mineral deficiencies often contribute to long-term health issues. Every cell in your body relies on minerals to function. Low mineral levels can lead to fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, dental issues, and numerous other health problems.
Mineral deficiencies are also becoming more common. A 2022 national study found that more than 90% of US adults have at least one mineral deficiency. [*]
Let’s talk about how mineral deficiencies drive chronic health problems, the best minerals for fatigue, and how mineral replenishment can help you look and feel your best.
Mineral Deficiencies Are Surprisingly Common
Over the last two decades, studies have found a steady increase in mineral deficiencies among US adults.
Large-scale research shows that more than 90% of Americans don’t meet their daily mineral needs. [*][*] Deficiencies are becoming both more common and more severe with each passing decade.
Part of the reason is a change in food quality. Over the past 75 years, the mineral content of our food has been in continuous decline.
A 2004 study compared foods grown in 1950 and 1999 and found a significant decline in protein, vitamin, and mineral content. [*]
A 2022 study found a continuous decrease in the mineral content of vegetables and legumes over the past century. [*]
A 2024 study notes an “alarming decline in the nutritional quality of foods” with a particular decrease in essential minerals and antioxidants. [*] The researchers call this decline one of “the biggest challenge[s] for future generations’ health.”
Modern crops are bred to maximize yield, not nutrition. That means that while we have more food than ever, the nutrient density of any single piece of food is actually going down, not up. [*]
Industrial agricultural practices like high-yield farming and pesticide use also damage soil quality, making it harder for crops to pull minerals from the soil. [*][*] As a result, conventionally grown crops are increasingly nutrient-poor.
The hard truth is that it’s almost impossible to get the minerals your body needs from diet alone.
We’re already seeing the effects: more and more people are developing hidden nutrient deficiencies, and they’re contributing to chronic health issues.
7 Signs Your Mineral Levels are Low
Minerals influence almost every biological process in your body, from brain function to sleep to maintaining your heartbeat.
As a result, mineral deficiencies can affect your wellbeing in a wide variety of ways. Low minerals often cause multiple chronic issues, depending on which mineral deficiencies you have.
Seven common signs that you’re not getting enough minerals include:
Fatigue
Poor sleep
Brain fog/trouble concentrating
Chronic stress
Muscle cramps or muscle fatigue
Dental issues (teeth and gums)
Seasonal allergies

If you’re dealing with any of the above issues and there’s no obvious cause, you may have a hidden mineral deficiency.
A Simple Way to Replenish Your Mineral Stores
Mineral deficiencies can feel overwhelming, especially when they lead to chronic problems like fatigue or poor sleep.
And because minerals usually work together in your body, one mineral shortage can cause you to develop others. Over time, hidden mineral depletion can make you feel worse and worse.

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.
