Why do BEAM Minerals absorb so well? What sets them apart from the average mineral supplement?
One of the big things is bioavailability —how quickly and completely you absorb the minerals you take.
Depending on the form, most mineral supplements have between 15-40% absorption—but our liquid supplements have close to 100% bioavailability, thanks to their unique structure. That’s what we’re talking about in today’s article.
Fulvic Substance: The Secret To Better Mineral Absorption
BEAM Minerals come from humate , a dark, crystal substance found in deep soil. Humate forms over thousands of years: as plant matter breaks down into earth, its nutrients separate and crystallize into humate.
We take humate from ancient soil and purify it, creating a liquid that contains every essential mineral your body needs. But we also leave in a few other compounds. One of the important ones is fulvic substance .

Fulvic is a marvelous substance for several reasons. The first is that it can move freely throughout your body. Fulvic is tiny and can slip in and out of cells with ease, which is a rare thing in nature. Your body has a lot of defense systems to keep foreign substances out—but fulvic is unusually good at getting past those walls and accessing your cells.
Fulvic is also very good at latching onto minerals. A fulvic molecule has lots of little chemical arms on its outside, and those arms are great at picking up nutrients and carrying them wherever the fulvic molecule goes. Fulvic is sort of like a taxi—it can take minerals for a ride and drop them off anywhere in your body. Fulvic can even make dropoffs in your brain, which is especially rare (your brain has better defenses than any other organ).

Fulvic + Minerals = Much Better Bioavailability
Normally, when you take a mineral supplement, a large percentage of the minerals don’t make it to your cells. They get pushed through your digestion, filtered out of your blood, or are too big to make it to certain parts of your body.
But when you combine minerals with fulvic, the fulvic binds to those minerals and forms a super-absorbable complex. It carries the minerals through your body and into your cells at rapid speed, and the cells that need minerals most can grab them from the fulvic and put them to use within minutes.
In other words, fulvic causes a huge increase in mineral absorption . You not only absorb more minerals—you get them faster, too.
A comprehensive 2015 study looked at how fulvic affects the absorption of different minerals. [ * ] The authors found that fulvic increased:
Calcium absorption by 104%
.Magnesium absorption by 74% .
Zinc absorption by 350%
-
Iron absorption by 264%.
A 2018 study found that fulvic increased more than a dozen tested minerals by a significant amount. The authors concluded that attaching fulvic to minerals is one of the best ways to make them more bioavailable . [ * ]
Start Taking A Better Mineral Supplement
When it comes to supplements, bioavailability is everything. You can take a cabinet full of pills and powders—but if you aren’t absorbing them well, it won’t make a difference.
At BEAM Minerals, we make things simple: you take one shot of mineral-rich liquid each morning. It contains every essential mineral your body needs, in the right ratios, all in fulvic complexes to maximize absorption. Plus it tastes like water and takes you 30 seconds a day.
We focus on simple, effective mineral replenishment—so that you can relax, knowing the supplements you take are actually working.
If you want to replenish your minerals, we’ll make it easy. Give BEAM Minerals a try and experience faster, better mineral replenishment.

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.
