Springtime is often a relief after a long winter—but spring can also mean seasonal allergies.
As flowers, trees, grasses, and other plants begin to grow again, airborne pollen levels increase. For a lot of people, that means sneezing, itching, asthma, watery eyes, and even hives as a result of spring allergies.
If you deal with spring allergies each year, minerals can help. Research shows that several minerals reduce the impact of allergies and decrease your sensitivity to pollen. Here’s a closer look at how a good mineral supplement can relieve (or even prevent) seasonal allergies.
How Many People Have Seasonal Allergies?
Seasonal allergies don’t affect everyone. Your sensitivity to allergens depends on genetics, your environment (especially your childhood environment, when your immune system is still developing), and a variety of other factors.
However, a 2018 global survey found that around 25% of people worldwide do experience seasonal allergies, with pollen and dust being the two most common allergens, and spring being the worst time of year for most people. [ * ]

Minerals Reduce Your Sensitivity to Allergens
Seasonal allergies happen because of what researchers call type 2 inflammation, which is when your body mounts a specific inflammatory response to drive out foreign substances like pollen. [ * ][ * ]
Allergic inflammatory responses are controlled by your immune system. Normally, your immune system triggers inflammation to kill off dangerous invaders, like viruses or bacteria. In the case of allergies, however, your immune system mistakenly thinks a harmless substance like pollen is dangerous. It overreacts, causing massive inflammation and all the allergic symptoms that come with it: headaches, stuffy nose, brain fog, fatigue, and so on.
According to recent research, minerals can help:
A 2023 review found that zinc, selenium, and iron relieve seasonal allergies by suppressing type 2 inflammation. [ * ]
A 2006 study found that calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium status are all linked to severity of seasonal allergy symptoms. [ * ] People with high levels of these minerals had less severe or nonexistent allergies, while those with deficiencies experienced worse allergy symptoms.
A 2022 study found that copper and zinc relieve both seasonal allergies and asthma. [ * ] The authors note that copper and zinc are two of the most important minerals for immune function, and that they likely stop allergies by modulating your immune system so it doesn’t overreact to allergens.

A 2024 review found that mineral deficiencies are a major predictor of seasonal allergies . [ * ] The authors echoed the findings in the studies above: minerals are a strong defense against allergies because they lower type 2 inflammation and moderate your immune response to allergens.
In short, minerals can bring allergy relief in two ways: blocking type 2 inflammation and moderating your immune system so it doesn’t overreact to allergens.

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.
