How to remove beryllium from the body.

Beryllium (Be) — a toxic alkaline earth metal that does not perform any physiological function in the human body. However, due to its similarity to other divalent cations, it can replace magnesium and zinc in enzymes, receptors, and mitochondrial proteins, disrupting their function.

In the case of magnesium and zinc deficiency, the body may mistakenly "incorporate" beryllium into biologically active structures. Restoring the balance of these elements helps displace beryllium and reduce toxic burden.

How magnesium and zinc displace beryllium

• compete with beryllium for binding in tissues;
• restore the activity of enzymes and carrier proteins;
• stimulate the excretion of beryllium from cells;
• improve liver and kidney function for its detoxification.

Forms of magnesium and zinc with good bioavailability

Magnesium:

• glycinate (bisglycinate) — does not irritate the gastrointestinal tract;
• malate — recommended for chronic fatigue;
• citrate — well absorbed, may have a laxative effect.

Zinc:

• picolinate — easily absorbed;
• glycinate or citrate — acts gently on the gastrointestinal tract;
• monomethionine — preferable in cases of pronounced deficiency.

Recommended dosages

• magnesium: 300–400 mg in elemental form, divided into 2–3 doses per day;
• zinc: 15–30 mg per day (preferably not on an empty stomach), in cycles of 2–3 weeks with breaks.

A sharp increase in dosage may cause symptoms of intoxication (flu-like symptoms, aches, headache) due to rapid mobilization of beryllium.

Additional nutrients for support

• selenium (100–200 mcg) — protects cells from oxidative stress;
• vitamin C (500–1000 mg), alpha-lipoic acid (300 mg) — neutralize free radicals;
• pectins, chlorella, coral calcium — bind toxins in the gastrointestinal tract and promote their excretion.

Ways to excrete beryllium

• through the kidneys — with sufficient water intake (1.5–2 liters/day);
• through the intestines with bile — taking turmeric or artichoke extract enhances the effect;
• through the skin — regular physical activity and infrared sauna accelerate excretion.

How to monitor the condition

Tests:

• mineral hair spectrum — shows beryllium accumulation and magnesium/zinc status;
• plasma analysis — to assess current levels of magnesium and zinc;
• urine test for beryllium (after taking chelators) — not available in all laboratories.

Indirect signs of excretion:

• headaches, weakness, metallic taste in the mouth;
• muscle pain, aches;
• increased sweating, rapid pulse, flu-like state.

Such symptoms may be a temporary cleansing reaction following previously hidden accumulation of heavy metals.
