Fight Inflammation with Phytonutrients

Read Time 5 min
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Our supplements contain more than minerals. They’re also rich in anti-inflammatory compounds called phytonutrients .
Phytonutrients are unique substances that come from plants. They’re good for you in a few different ways, but their most powerful feature is their ability to fight chronic inflammation.
Here’s a closer look at the anti-inflammatory benefits of phytonutrients and how they can help you look and feel better.
What Is Inflammation?
Inflammation is a natural process, and often it’s a good thing . . . we know, that’s hard to believe but, please read on!
For example, if you get a cut on your hand, your immune system will trigger an inflammatory response, sending in special cells to kill off invading bacteria and increasing blood flow to speed up healing. That’s good inflammation—it protects you from harm and helps you get back to a healthy state faster.
But inflammation also turns on in response to more subtle disturbances, like nutrient deficiencies, chronic stress from work, processed food, and environmental pollution.
The challenge is that in modern life these minor stressors are widespread. As a result, a lot of us struggle with chronic inflammation—a constant, low-level inflamed state that gradually wears away at our well being. [ * ]

Over the last 20 years, growing research has found that chronic inflammation drives the progression of numerous health issues, including heart disease, stroke, dementia, diabetes, arthritis, weight gain, chronic pain, and more. [ * ]
Fortunately, it’s possible to turn off chronic inflammation—and one of the best ways is by getting more phytonutrients into your system.
How Phytonutrients Fight Inflammation
Phytonutrients are specialized compounds that come from plants. They include flavonoids and other polyphenols, which are exceptionally strong anti-inflammatory substances.
Phytonutrients are antioxidants, which means they act like a sort of sponge for inflammatory compounds. Chronic inflammation is often caused by free radicals , damaging little molecules that bounce around your body and destroy any cells they touch. Phytonutrients bind to free radicals and deactivate them, absorbing the damage so your cells stay intact. [ * ]
In other words, phytonutrients prevent the constant low-level damage that triggers chronic inflammation.
A 2021 study in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry found that consuming phytonutrients suppresses inflammation across the entire body . [ * ]
Similarly, a 2016 study published in Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity found that increasing your phytonutrient intake decreases inflammatory pain and slows down oxidative stress , the main cause of aging. [ * ][ * ]
A 2019 review found that consuming at least 650 mg of phytonutrients a day was linked to decreased inflammation and disease and prolonged lifespan . [ * ]
Phytonutrients are a powerful tool for fighting inflammation—and one of the best ways to get them is by taking BEAM Minerals.

BEAM Minerals: An Exceptional Source of Phytonutrients
Here at BEAM Minerals, all our supplements are made from humic and fulvic substances—mineral-rich components sourced from ancient rain forests..
Humic and fulvic form over thousands of years, as freshwater plants break down and deposit their nutrients into the ground. They’re incredibly rich in minerals—but because they come from plants, they also contain a huge amount of phytonutrients.
Fulvic is particularly phytonutrient-rich. A 2019 study found that liquid fulvic concentrates contain nearly 200 mg/mL of polyphenols and flavonoids, the most anti-inflammatory types of phytonutrients. [ * ]
In other words, a single half-ounce serving of fulvic more than covers your daily phytonutrient goal of 650 mg, which research shows is ideal for inflammation and longevity support. [ * ]
And on top of all those phytonutrients, the humic in BEAM Minerals supplies every essential mineral your body needs, in the right ratios. That’s even better, because multiple studies show that mineral replenishment also lowers inflammation bodywide. [ * ][ * ]
If you want extra support against chronic inflammation, give BEAM Minerals a try. All you do is take a shot of phytonutrient- and mineral-rich liquid each morning. It tastes like water and it nourishes your body in 30 seconds a day.

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.
