What it is
A liquid electrolyte replenishment from Beam Minerals, delivered in what the company describes as a 100% bioavailable ionized format rather than as a powder or tablet. It is unflavoured and mixes into water without changing much about it, which is the practical reason people stay consistent with it.
Why the evidence supports it
We will say what the evidence does and does not cover. A 90-day high-dose study of humic and fulvic substances found no toxicity, carcinogenicity, organ damage or genotoxicity, which is a real safety signal. What Beam's cited research does NOT establish is that an oral product removes heavy metals from a person -- the heavy-metal papers are environmental chemistry about binding in water, and we will not stretch them into a human detox claim.
What it supports
- Supplies electrolytes in an ionized liquid form
- Supports normal hydration and electrolyte balance
- Supports normal muscle and nerve function as part of a balanced diet
Which function it supports
Electrolytes are the charged minerals your cells use to hold water where it belongs and to carry the electrical signals that muscle and nerve tissue run on. An ionized liquid skips the dissolution step a tablet needs.

- The influence of fulvic acid on molybdenum bioavailability assessed by Caenorhabditis elegans.PubMed
Journal of environmental management · 2026
In a C. elegans model, researchers found that fulvic acid influenced the bioavailability and combined toxicity of molybdenum, with high-concentration molybdenum exposure alone causing significant survival and movement abnormalities.
- Enhancing the mycoremediation potential: The multifaceted role of fulvic acid in polystyrene microplastics degradation by Phanerochaete chrysosporium.PubMed
Journal of hazardous materials · 2026
Adding fulvic acid nearly doubled the fungal degradation rate of polystyrene microplastics by Phanerochaete chrysosporium, working partly through non-biochemical surface etching that improved the plastic's bioaccessibility.
- Humic and Fulvic Acid Fractions Differentially Regulate Methane-Dependent Arsenate Reduction in Paddy Soils.PubMed
Environmental science & technology · 2026
In paddy soils, an aromatic quinone-rich humic acid fraction enhanced electron transfer coupling methane oxidation to arsenate reduction, increasing arsenite release, while a carboxyl-rich fulvic fraction blocked this coupling via acetate accumulation.
- Genotoxicity of Carbohydrate Derived Fulvic Acid.PubMed
Toxicology reports · 2026
Toxicology testing of a standardized carbohydrate-derived fulvic acid (CHD-FA) found only a weak genotoxic effect in human lymphocytes, likely attributable to test solution pH rather than the compound itself, indicating it is not genotoxic in the models used.
- Impact of fulvic acid on copper exposure in Ulva prolifera: Integrative insights from growth, physiology, transcriptomics, and physico-chemical characteristics.PubMed
Journal of hazardous materials · 2026
In a marine algae species, fulvic acid bound copper and reduced its uptake into cells, easing high-copper toxicity by restoring photosynthesis and energy-metabolism gene expression that copper exposure had suppressed.
- Upgrading agricultural waste-derived biochemical fulvic acid: fungal co-culture-mediated structural remodeling and enhanced plant biostimulant potential.PubMed
Bioresource technology · 2026
Co-culturing two fungi to bioactivate agricultural waste-derived fulvic acid increased its oxygen- and nitrogen-containing functional groups, and the modified fulvic acid boosted wheat plant height, chlorophyll content, and antioxidant enzyme activity compared to untreated fulvic acid.

If you have had labs done
These are lab markers where this product's ingredients have measured evidence in our citation library. This is not a claim that the product will change your results -- the research attaches to the ingredient, and what a marker means depends on the whole picture. Each one links to its full entry, including what typically moves it and how to read it.
- Fasting Insulin, Glucose & HOMA-IRsolid evidence
via Magnesium · 910 studies, 304 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: The afternoon crash; hunger returning within two hours; central weight that will not shift; skin tags and darkened velvety skin in neck folds or armpits.
Lower: Not usually a concern; very low fasting insulin with low glucose warrants a clinician's look.
- Fasting Insulin, Glucose & HbA1csolid evidence
via Magnesium · 910 studies, 304 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: The afternoon crash; central weight appearing where it never used to; hunger returning quickly; waking at 3am.
Lower: Not usually a concern in this context.
- Fasting Insulin and Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1)solid evidence
via Magnesium · 910 studies, 304 in people
The nutrients with real human evidence on insulin sensitivity -- read the fasting glucose entry for the counts and trials.
- Magnesiumsolid evidence
via Magnesium · 775 studies, 241 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: Almost always caused by supplements plus reduced kidney function, not by food.
Lower: Muscle cramps, especially calves at night; eyelid twitching that goes on for days.
- Magnesiumsolid evidence
via Magnesium · 775 studies, 241 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Lower: For the full symptom picture in both directions, read the main magnesium entry -- it is the same measurement, and repeating it here would only risk the two drifting apart.
- Magnesium RBC (Red Blood Cell Magnesium)solid evidence
via Magnesium · 775 studies, 241 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: Almost always supplements plus reduced kidney function rather than food.
Lower: Muscle cramps especially calves at night; eyelid twitching; restless legs.
- Magnesiumsolid evidence
via Magnesium · 775 studies, 241 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: Because muscle-meat and refined foods are low in magnesium, shortfall is common on modern diets.
Lower: A high serum magnesium is rare and almost always tied to impaired kidney function (weakness, low blood pressure) -- a medical finding, since magnesium is renally cleared.
- Magnesiumsolid evidence
via Magnesium · 775 studies, 241 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: A high serum magnesium is rare and almost always tied to impaired kidney function (weakness, low blood pressure) -- a medical finding, since magnesium is renally cleared.
- Sodium, Potassium, Chloride & CO2 (Electrolytes)solid evidence
via Sodium · 96 studies, 37 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: HIGH SODIUM: thirst, dry mouth, confusion -- almost always dehydration rather than salt intake.
Lower: LOW SODIUM: headache, nausea, confusion, fatigue, muscle cramps.
- Sodium (and the Na:K Ratio)solid evidence
via Sodium · 96 studies, 37 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: Serum sodium is tightly regulated and mostly reflects hydration, so it is not a gauge of dietary sodium intake.
Lower: A low serum sodium (hyponatraemia) can cause headache, nausea, confusion and, when severe, seizures -- usually from overhydration or illness, and a medical finding for a clinician.
- Sodiumsolid evidence
via Sodium · 96 studies, 37 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: Serum sodium is tightly regulated and mostly reflects hydration, so it is not a gauge of dietary sodium intake.
Lower: A low serum sodium (hyponatraemia) can cause headache, nausea, confusion and, when severe, seizures -- usually from overhydration or illness, and a medical finding for a clinician.
- Vitamin D (25-Hydroxyvitamin D)solid evidence
via Calcium · 123 studies, 34 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: Excess comes from supplements, essentially never from sun.
Lower: Fatigue -- our library holds an explicit study of 25(OH)D and fatigue severity in adults.
- Potassiumsolid evidence
via Potassium · 83 studies, 19 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: Serum potassium is a SAFETY marker, tightly regulated -- the body defends the blood level even when dietary intake is low, so a normal serum value does not confirm good dietary intake.
Lower: A low serum potassium (hypokalaemia) can cause muscle cramps, weakness, fatigue, constipation and palpitations -- also a medical finding to address with a clinician.
- Potassiumsolid evidence
via Potassium · 83 studies, 19 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: Serum potassium is a tightly regulated SAFETY marker -- the body defends the blood level even when dietary intake is low, so a normal serum value does not confirm good dietary intake.
Lower: A low serum potassium (hypokalaemia) can cause muscle cramps, weakness, fatigue, constipation and palpitations -- also a medical finding to address with a clinician.
- eGFR, Creatinine & BUNsolid evidence
via Sodium · 31 studies, 17 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: Later: swelling in ankles and around the eyes, foamy urine, fatigue, poor appetite, itching, night urination, high blood pressure.
Lower: A low creatinine usually reflects low muscle mass rather than excellent kidneys, and in older adults it can hide meaningfully reduced filtration.
- Vitamin Dsolid evidence
via Magnesium · 43 studies, 16 in people
Required for both activation steps.
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: Excess risks hypercalcaemia and kidney stones -- read the main vitamin D entry.
- Vitamin D (Gut Barrier)solid evidence
via Magnesium · 43 studies, 16 in people
Both hydroxylation steps that activate vitamin D are magnesium-dependent.
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: See the main vitamin D entry -- excess risks hypercalcaemia and kidney stones.
Lower: Vitamin D deficiency is consistently associated with altered gut microbiota and increased permeability in observational data.
- Vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D)solid evidence
via Magnesium · 43 studies, 16 in people
Required for both hydroxylation steps.
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: Excess risks hypercalcaemia and kidney stones -- toxicity comes from supplements, essentially never from sun.
Lower: Fatigue, aching bones and muscles, low mood worse in winter, frequent illness, hair loss.
- Cortisolsolid evidence
via Magnesium · 34 studies, 16 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: "Wired but tired" -- exhausted all day, then alert the moment the head hits the pillow.
Lower: Profound fatigue that is worst in the morning, and improves slightly through the day -- the reverse of the usual pattern.
- Glucose (Fasting)solid evidence
via Magnesium · 9 studies, 5 in people
Oral supplementation improved glycaemic control in older adults with prediabetes and insulin resistance.
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: Waking at 3am, often with a racing heart -- 'why do i wake up at 3am every night'.
Lower: Shakiness, sweating, sudden anxiety and difficulty concentrating that resolve within minutes of eating.
- Calciumsolid evidence
via Magnesium · 17 studies, 3 in people
Required for PTH release and for tissue response to it -- a low calcium that will not correct is a magnesium problem until proven otherwise.
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: "Bones, stones, groans and psychic moans" -- the old teaching phrase, and still the best summary: bone pain, kidney stones, abdominal pain and constipation, low mood and confusion.
Lower: Tingling around the mouth and in the fingers and toes.
- Urinalysis (Appearance, pH, Specific Gravity, Protein, Glucose, Ketones, Blood & Microscopic Findings)solid evidence
via Sodium · 8 studies, 3 in people
Lowering sodium lowers glomerular pressure and albuminuria -- the same intervention that carries the largest signal on the kidney filtration panel.
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: KETONES: fasting, low-carbohydrate eating, or illness.
- Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)solid evidence
via Magnesium · 4 studies, 3 in people
Improved glycaemic control in prediabetes; the same insulin-signalling cofactor role as under fasting glucose.
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: Everything listed under fasting glucose, but with more time behind it -- HbA1c is a three-month average, so symptoms are usually established rather than new.
- Bone Health: DEXA / T-score, CTX, P1NPemerging evidence
via Magnesium · 828 studies, 450 in people
Cofactor for both vitamin D activation and PTH secretion.
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: A high T-score is favourable; very high values occasionally reflect degenerative change in the spine artificially inflating the reading.
Lower: Bone loss is SILENT until a fracture.
- Vitamin D, Calcium, and Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)emerging evidence
via Magnesium · 828 studies, 450 in people
Cofactor for both vitamin D activation and PTH secretion.
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Lower: CALCIUM LOW: tingling around the mouth and in fingers, muscle cramps and twitching, irritability.
- Triglyceride:HDL Ratioemerging evidence
via Magnesium · 9 studies, 5 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Lower: A low ratio suggests good insulin sensitivity -- the favourable direction.
- Fasting Insulinemerging evidence
via Magnesium · 9 studies, 5 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: A high fasting insulin is one of the EARLIEST signals of insulin resistance -- insulin climbs to keep glucose normal for years before glucose itself rises.
Lower: A low fasting insulin, with a normal glucose, generally reflects good insulin sensitivity -- the favourable direction.
- Fasting Glucoseemerging evidence
via Magnesium · 9 studies, 5 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: A high fasting glucose is often silent early -- the classic high-sugar symptoms (excess thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision) tend to appear later and higher.
Lower: A genuinely low glucose (hypoglycaemia) can cause shakiness, sweating, irritability, hunger and lightheadedness -- but a low-normal fasting value in a healthy person is usually favourable.
- Fasting Insulinemerging evidence
via Magnesium · 9 studies, 5 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: Must be drawn fasting to be interpretable, and read alongside glucose (as HOMA-IR), never in isolation.
Lower: A low fasting insulin, with a normal glucose, generally reflects good insulin sensitivity -- the favourable direction.
- HOMA-IR (calculated -- a derived value, not a measured one)emerging evidence
via Magnesium · 9 studies, 5 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: Because it is built from fasting insulin, it carries that assay's variability -- interpret the trend on one lab, not an absolute number.
Lower: A low HOMA-IR (roughly under 2.0) is commonly read as insulin-sensitive -- the favourable direction, though the cutoff is population-dependent.
- Fasting Glucoseemerging evidence
via Magnesium · 9 studies, 5 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: A high fasting glucose is often silent early -- the classic high-sugar symptoms (excess thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision) tend to appear later and higher.
Lower: A genuinely low glucose (hypoglycaemia) can cause shakiness, sweating, irritability, hunger and lightheadedness -- but a low-normal fasting value in a healthy person is usually favourable.
- Triglyceride : HDL Ratio (calculated -- a derived value)emerging evidence
via Magnesium · 9 studies, 5 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Lower: A low ratio suggests good insulin sensitivity -- the favourable direction.
via Magnesium · 9 studies, 5 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: The TyG index is a calculated insulin-resistance marker built from fasting triglycerides and fasting glucose -- a derived number, not a felt symptom.
Lower: A lower TyG index (within a population) is the favourable direction -- the validating studies read it as higher-versus-lower, not against a fixed line.
- Calciumemerging evidence
via Magnesium · 17 studies, 3 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: A high serum calcium needs clinical work-up -- causes include parathyroid, vitamin D and kidney issues -- not a supplement adjustment.
- HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c)emerging evidence
via Magnesium · 4 studies, 3 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: A high HbA1c reflects the same chronic high-glucose state -- silent early, then thirst, frequent urination and fatigue at higher levels.
Lower: A low HbA1c is generally favourable, but an unexpectedly low value can reflect a red-cell condition rather than excellent control -- cross-check against fasting glucose if it surprises you.
- HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin)emerging evidence
via Magnesium · 4 studies, 3 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: A high HbA1c reflects the same chronic high-glucose state as glucose, averaged over roughly three months -- silent early, then thirst, frequent urination and fatigue at higher levels.
Lower: A low HbA1c is generally favourable, but an unexpectedly low value can reflect a red-cell condition rather than excellent control -- cross-check against fasting glucose if it surprises you.
- Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)emerging evidence
via Magnesium · 1 studies, 1 in people
Severely low serum magnesium associated with positive anti-thyroglobulin antibodies -- an association, and a reason to check rather than a demonstrated lever.
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: Cold all the time, especially hands and feet, and needing more layers than everyone else in the room.
Lower: Racing or irregular heartbeat, palpitations, waking at night with the heart pounding.
- Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TgAb)emerging evidence
via Magnesium · 1 studies, 1 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: Same picture as TPO antibodies -- frequently silent for years, then the hypothyroid symptoms appearing while TSH still reads normal.
Lower: Negative is the desired result.
- Estradiol, FSH, LH, Prolactin, DHEA-S & Testosteroneemerging evidence
via Magnesium · 8 studies, 0 in people
What people often notice when this marker sits outside the usual range
Higher: HIGH FSH with low oestradiol is the menopause transition signal.
Lower: Joint aches that appeared with no injury; skin and hair changing texture.
- Albumin, Globulin, Bilirubin & Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)emerging evidence
via Magnesium · 6 studies, 0 in people
A cofactor alongside zinc for alkaline phosphatase activity.

Electrolyze is the fulvic half of the Beam pair -- liquid electrolytes in an ionized form that tastes close to plain mineral water. It suits people who train, sweat, sauna, or simply drink a lot of filtered water and want the charged minerals back without a sweetened powder.
FAQ
What does Electrolyze support?
It supplies electrolytes in a liquid ionized form and supports normal hydration, normal fluid balance, and the normal muscle and nerve function those charged minerals carry out, as part of a balanced diet.
How do I take it?
