Bone health is one of the most important parts of aging well. Strong bones keep you mobile and pain-free, increasing your “healthspan” so you can move with confidence, regardless of age.
Your bones decline as you age because of something called bone resorption. As you get older, your body pulls more and more minerals from your bones and uses them elsewhere[ * ].
The result is that your bones end up deficient in calcium, phosphorous, iron, magnesium, and several other essential minerals. They weaken and become brittle, and they also struggle to replenish their mineral stores.
If you want to restore bone density and keep things like chronic pain and mobility issues at bay, you have to replenish all those lost minerals.
Traditionally, doctors suggested taking a calcium supplement as you age, to help restore bone calcium levels and give your bones the raw materials they need to grow.
This is good basic advice: plentiful research shows that taking calcium helps prevent bone loss as you age[ * ].
However, doctors stopped suggesting calcium supplements a few years ago, after discovering that taking calcium alone, while great for bones, causes problems elsewhere in your body. For one thing, it can lead to kidney stones[ * ], which are painful but not life-threatening.
But the bigger issue is that high calcium levels deplete magnesium and potassium, which causes damage to your heart over time[ * ].
In addition, newer research has found that bone growth requires a variety of different minerals—not just calcium[ * ].
For these reasons, doctors now suggest taking a full spectrum of essential minerals for bone health. Replenishing all your essential mineral stores will give your body the raw materials it needs to stay strong as you age, without the imbalances and side effects that can come from single-mineral supplements.
Normally, if you want to balance your mineral stores, you have to test your mineral levels, take a handful of different mineral supplements in the right ratios and forms, and then retest to see what has changed. It’s an expensive and time-consuming process.
That’s why BEAM Minerals is so good. They offer full-spectrum, plant-based minerals that contain every essential mineral your body needs, all in the correct ratios to promote mineral balance.
With just two supplements, Electrolyze and Micro-BOOST , you can refill all your body’s mineral stores at once. They come in an ionic liquid form, which means they require no digestion. As a result, they’re far easier to absorb than most pill or capsule-based mineral supplements. All you have to do is take a capful of each in the morning (don’t worry; they taste like water).
You’ll feel BEAM Minerals working within minutes—it’s like your body and brain are turning back on for the first time in years. And over a few weeks, as your mineral stores gradually refill, you’ll enjoy more gradual benefits, like stronger bones and deeper sleep.
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.
