We deliver the best minerals on the market, and that means being obsessive about sourcing and sustainability.
Our supplements are derived from humate, a mineral-rich component of ancient rainforest soil. Humate forms over millions of years, as freshwater plants decompose and deposit their nutrients into the soil. Over time, the minerals in those plants aggregate into a black crystalline substance. That substance is humate, and it’s one of the most mineral-dense materials in the world.
The humate in our products comes from a remote location in the Four Corners area of the Southwestern US, which was once covered in lush rainforest and contains rich stores of humate. It is known to be one of the most mineral-rich deposits of humate in the world.
The humate material is located about 10-15 feet below the surface of the earth and is bagged as soon as it is harvested, so as not to have contact with any potential environmental pollutants.
We bring this humate to our FDA-registered manufacturing facility in Colorado, where we use a proprietary, non-chemical, alkaline water-based extraction process to extract the humic and fulvic molecules, which are the foundation for our products. We are proud of the water we use, which is taken through multiple filtration, structuring and deionization processes prior to being utilized for extraction.
After production we independently 3rd party-test each batch for purity and potency. We also complete 3rd party microbiological testing on each production run (Lot) before, and after, bottling.
Our entire production process creates no chemical waste and results in highly bioavailable, full-spectrum liquid minerals, free from toxins and pollutants.
BEAM Minerals' bottles are HDPE (High Density Poly Ethylene); they are recommended by The Green Guide , and are certified safe and guaranteed NOT to transfer anything toxic into the product because they don't contain anything toxic. HDPE bottles are made from polyethylene, or polypropylene, NOT polycarbonate.
In independent lab tests done by certified facilities, HDPE has passed rigorous testing using acid leaching agents, in extreme high heat conditions. HDPE was found to be so non-reactive that no chemicals, toxins, or foreign materials whatsoever, in any form, were detected in the contents of the bottle.
At BEAM MInerals we like to verify things, so we have also done testing to ensure that the product’s Certificate of Analysis had NO changes before and after sitting in our HDPE bottles for 6 months.
Yes, in fact, BEAM Minerals will enhance the bioavailability of all your other supplements.
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”.
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.
