Are mineral deficiencies holding you back in the gym?
More than 90% of U.S. adults are deficient in at least one mineral. [ * ] The most common deficiencies, like magnesium and potassium, make a big difference in the gym. They affect your testosterone, recovery, and even your muscle strength.
Replenishing those minerals will make a surprising difference in your training. Here’s how correcting mineral imbalances can help you take your workouts to the next level.
Here’s a look at the best minerals for skincare, and how a good mineral supplement can help you get smoother, healthier skin.
Minerals for Testosterone Support
You need testosterone for muscle growth and recovery. Unfortunately, average testosterone levels in U.S. men have been declining by about 1% per year since the 1970s. [ * ]
Mineral deficiencies are a likely contributor to the decline. Minerals play a large, well-researched role in testosterone production. Depletion is strongly associated with lower testosterone levels. [ * ]
- Magnesium deficiency is a common driver of low testosterone. [ * ] More than 60% of Americans have low magnesium, while 45% are clinically deficient. [ * ] It’s a good idea to supplement: a 2011 study found that taking magnesium increased both free and total testosterone in men. [ * ]
-
Zinc is essential for testosterone production. It’s also often a hidden cause of low testosterone. You can be in the “acceptable” range for zinc intake on lab tests, but if you’re in the lower half of that range, your testosterone production will fall. [*] Supplementing with zinc increases plasma testosterone. [*]
Selenium is a partner mineral to zinc. The two work as a pair during testosterone synthesis, so it’s a good idea to replenish both. [ * ]
-
Boron increases the bioavailability of existing testosterone. [ * ] A 2011 study found that participants who took boron daily increased their free testosterone levels by more than 30%. [ * ]
A good mineral supplement can help you support your body’s natural testosterone production. You’ll feel a difference in energy, both in and out of the gym.
Faster Recovery with Magnesium and Zinc
You also need minerals post-workout.
Muscle recovery depends on several mineral co-factors. If you have deficiencies, you won’t repair or build muscle as quickly, and your progress in the gym will lag.
Zinc , magnesium , and potassium are all essential for muscle synthesis after exercise. A large-scale review found that deficiencies in any of the three slowed muscle repair. [ * ]
- Potassium is especially important. According to recent CDC data, 97% of U.S. adults are clinically deficient in potassium. [ * ]
-
Broad-spectrum minerals are a good option for recovery. Runners who took a multimineral supplement after a race showed significantly faster muscle recovery than those who took placebo. [ * ] The supplement contained iron , zinc , selenium , and manganese .
- Magnesium post-workout leads to 15-30% faster muscle recovery. [ * ] A 2022 study found that it reduced soreness and decreased fatigue in follow-up workouts, compared to placebo.
When it comes to recovery, most of us focus on protein. But if you don’t have the right minerals to help your muscles incorporate that protein, your recovery will slow down.
If you want to speed up your muscle recovery and build more strength, minerals can 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.
