Humic complexes (also called humic substances) are one of the most powerful natural detoxifiers in the world.

They’re strong adsorbents, which means they grab onto toxins and pull them out of your body. You can use humic to remove a variety of hard-to-reach compounds, from mold to heavy metals to pesticides. 


Humic substances are also good for smaller detoxes. If you have a hangover or ate too much gluten, taking humic can help you get back to feeling your best.


Here’s a closer look at how humic complexes work, and why they’re so good for detoxing.

What Are Humic Complexes?


Humic complexes come from humate —a black, crystalline, mineral-rich substance that forms in soil over thousands of years. Over time, plants break down and deposit their nutrients into the ground. Those plant-based nutrients group together and crystallize to form humate.


Humic is a purified form of humate. It contains the full spectrum of essential minerals—in fact, it’s one of the most mineral-dense substances in the world—as well as antioxidants and unique molecules that make it a good detoxifier.

Detoxing with Humic Complexes


Humic is a powerful adsorbent : it travels through your body and chemically binds to toxins, pulling them out of your cells and deactivating them.


There are several good adsorbent detoxifiers out there. You may have heard of activated charcoal or bentonite clay; both work in the same way humic does.


What sets humic apart is its size. Humic molecules are enormous, and their exterior is covered with little negatively charged terminals that attract toxins like a magnet. There are dozens of terminals on a single humic molecule, and each one acts like a hand, grabbing onto toxins as humic travels through your body.


When a toxin reaches a humic molecule, the humic molecule binds to the toxin and neutralizes it. You then excrete humic as waste, along with all the deactivated toxins it has adsorbed.


Because of its size, a single humic molecule can bind to a huge amount of toxins. It’s 7-10 times more adsorbent than activated charcoal, making it one of the most powerful detoxifying agents in the world; [ * ] it has been used in hospitals as a remedy for both mold and heavy metal poisoning.

What Toxins Can Humic Complexes Remove?


Research shows that humic complexes are good for detoxing:

  • Heavy metals . A study from 2014 found that humic molecules bound to and deactivated lead, cadmium, arsenic, and other heavy metals. [ * ]

  • Mold and mycotoxins . Humic complexes adsorb both black mold spores and the mycotoxins they produce. Humic is used by doctors for human mold poisoning, [ * ] as well as by farmers to remove mold from livestock feed. [ * ]

  • Persistent organic pollutants . A 2022 study found that humic breaks down and removes PCBs, highly toxic manufacturing pollutants that persist in the environment and build up in your fat cells, causing inflammation. [ * ]

  • Pesticides. Several studies have found that humic substances bind to and deactivate pesticides—including glyphosate, the most widely used pesticide in the world. [ * ][ * ][ * ]

Humic substance is also rich in electrolytes and the full spectrum of essential minerals your body needs to function, as well as antioxidants that reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. [ * ]


As a result, humic substance is good for:

  • Hangovers

  • Gluten reactions

  • Gut inflammation or pain

  • Muscle aches and muscle recovery

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.
