Are you ready to Be Amazing?
Michael Yewdell is. And once you hear his story, you’ll want to join the amazing movement.
Every year, countless supplement companies launch, seemingly popping up out of thin air. Some stick around, few flourish, but many vanish back into the thin air where they came from. What’s the difference between these winners and losers?
Purpose.
Too many new brands have no true purpose, direction, or meaning. They follow the industry trends to a tee, use cookie-cutter formulas, charge unreasonable prices, and may even use poor quality manufacturing facilities. In other words, they stand for nothing and do nothing to stand out. Easy come, easy go.
Be Amazing.
But today, we meet a man with a different direction. A sense of purpose. A message that means something.
He’s here to show you that regardless of your circumstances, you can Be Amazing. But before we dive into the incredible story behind BEAM, be sure to subscribe to our BEAM news and deal alerts so you stay up to date with everything regarding BEAM’s outstanding products:

Introducing BEAM: More Than a Brand, It’s A Movement
A truly successful company must start with a great leader — someone with years of experience who knows how to inspire and direct others and has a passion for every aspect of the brand. Meet Michael Yewdell: a fitness fanatic, foodie, supplement industry veteran, and cancer survivor. Mike has over nine years of experience, and throughout the time he spent working with some of the biggest names in the industry, he knew there was still something missing.
Mike has tried nearly every supplement. While he found some that he liked, most were well below average.
The best way Mike could solve this problem was to branch out and create his own brand. Having been so involved in the industry, he knew a thing or two about branding. And he knew what was missing. Thus, BEAM was born, which stands for Be Amazing. But what most people don’t know is there’s a lot more meaning to the brand’s name than you may think.
BEAM may not sound like a supplement company name, but that’s because BEAM goes well beyond supplements, health, and fitness. For many, it’s truly life-saving.
BEAM: Cancer Treatment or Supplement Brand?
As mentioned, Mike is not only an entrepreneur and supplement guru, he’s a cancer survivor. And as you’ll see, it was BEAM that brought Mike another chance, so now he wants to help you Be Amazing too.
In 2017, Mike was unfortunately diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma, which is a cancer of the lymphatic system. He was told not to worry, because with the advancements in modern medicine, he would be cured – his form had a 95% success rate.
Mike was mentally and physically prepared for a battle, little did he know it was going to be the fight of his life. After failing three chemotherapy treatments, Mike’s cancer was winning. Some people would give up throughout this process, but not Mike – he’s a fighter and would not let anything slow him down.
Hiding the fight of his life in plain sight
Although admittedly starting to lose hope, Mike didn’t want anyone to feel sorry for him or know that he was hurting. He still went to work, acted as if nothing was wrong, and went to the gym because of how much he enjoys being active. Mike never wanted cancer to affect him to the point where he stopped doing what he loved, even if that meant some suffering.
“When you die, it does not mean you lose to cancer, you beat cancer by how you live, why you live and in the manner in which you live.”
–Stuart Scott, American Sportscaster
BEAM: The Treatment That Saved Michael’s Life
After several unsuccessful attempts at chemotherapy, Mike transferred to a hospital in New York, where they offered an alternative treatment, known as beam. Beam is a type of treatment that uses protons rather than x-rays to treat cancer.[1] Protons are positively charged ions, and at a high enough energy, can destroy cancer cells.[1] It doesn’t always cure everyone, but fortunately for Mike, it was effective.
Half a year to envision the next step
Following the beam therapy, Mike had to be in isolation for 4-6 months due to a compromised immune system. During that time, he spent long days reflecting on his life and planning what would accomplish once this period ended. He kept thinking of the name beam, because not only did it help cure him, he loved the name.
Mike also came to the discovery that beam could represent something more than a proton beam – to him, it truly meant to Be Amazing.
BEAM: A Supplement Company was Born
Ever since Mike started working in the supplement industry, he wanted to start his own brand, but never felt like it was the right time. But after battling against cancer, Mike was more inspired than ever to create a brand. A brand that meant something.
He knew it would be more than just selling products, it would be a movement to influence others to fight against any obstacle that comes their way. Mike’s family and friends told him this was the perfect time to do something big, because of how many people he would help, inspire, and motivate to be amazing.
You don’t have to be an influencer to be an influence — there’s always something you can do to help others. And that’s exactly what Mike is trying to show thousands of people, by building a brand and a team that’s all amazing in their own way.
Now let’s see what BEAM has in store for 2020, because Mike doesn’t only want to share a message, he wants to give you exceptional products.
BEAM’s First Launch of Products
Mike knows exactly what it takes to formulate products that blow past competitors, but now is his chance to show you just what they’re all about. BEAM launches March 4th, 2020 with an epic supplement line-up.
We will be doing reviews and more in-depth articles on each product, but belo is a glimpse of what BEAM has coming. You’ll quickly notice they’re releasing supplements in “standard” product categories like protein powder and pre workout, but each formula has a unique twist.
-
100% Whey Protein
This premier protein will contain 100% whey protein isolate, and will launch in two delicious flavors: Chocolate Fudge and Salty Peanut Butter.
But this is not just protein powder, BEAM has added some unique ingredients, such as trace minerals from red algae (Aquamin) and a digestive enzyme blend that features: amylase, lactase, protease, lipase, cellulase.
-
Collagen Peptides
The Collagen Peptides will include 10g of Bovine Collagen Peptides to provide you with 9 grams of protein. But it also includes Amino9, which is a registered trademark of Compound Solutions, a leading ingredient supplier.
Amino9 is a leucine-enhanced blend of all nine essential amino acids, which consists of L-Leucine, L-Lysine, L-Threonine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine, L-Phenylalanine, L-Methionine, L-Histidine, and L-Tryptophan. The Collagen Peptides will be unflavored so you can add them to virtually any drink!
This is a brilliant move. We’ve found that too many people take collagen-based products for muscle growth, all because it has “protein” on the label. But that’s not how collagen works best, given its amino acid profile. However, just in case someone were to take this collagen for that purpose, they are still covered, thanks to the essential amino acids added in!
-
Vegan Protein
Next on our list is a premier Vegan Protein, and BEAM spent a lot of time to make sure this product tastes amazing. In order to deliver a complete protein source, BEAM uses a blend of pea protein, mung bean protein, and pumpkin seed protein. In order to ensure they are the highest quality sources, BEAM uses SmoothProtein from Compound Solutions. Just like their whey protein, they also included trace minerals from red algae in the form of Aquamin.
The Vegan Protein will launch in two flavors: Blueberry Muffin and Chocolate. Mike from BEAM swears this is one of the best tasting vegan proteins out there, and one ingredient that really helps deliver a smooth, creamy texture, is Clean Cream. It’s another ingredient from Compound Solutions that helps get rid of the gritty consistency most plant proteins have and doesn’t contain any unwanted ingredients found in other creamers. Therefore, it’s the best choice for having a clean label, but not sacrificing taste or quality.
-
Pre Workout
Last, but certainly not least is BEAM’s comprehensive Pre Workout formula. It features several key ingredients that are backed by science and dosed to give you the best results.
Here’s a quick rundown on what’s included in Pre Workout!
Pre Workout features a one (12.1g) or two scoop (24.2g) serving size option, but here’s the ingredients and dosages for two scoops:
- L-citrulline – 5g
- Carnosyn Beta-Alanine – 3.2g
- Betaine Anhydrous – 3g

- L-Tyrosine – 2g

BEAM’s Pre Workout is loaded with everything you need to crush a hard training session. It comes in two amazing flavors: Mango Lime and Watermelon Candy!
BEAM: The Beginning of a Brand and A Movement!
BEAM is here to not only put out top-tier products with unique ingredients, they’re here to bring together people from all over the world to create a positive impact. Mike wants BEAM to be more than just another brand, he wants BEAM to take the industry to another level. He’s driven and fueled by passion, experience, and determination.
BEAM has huge plans for 2020 and beyond. PricePlow is thrilled to have the opportunity to help deliver such an incredible and powerful message. There’s no doubt the industry needs more brands looking to stand out for the right reasons, rather than just following the same old trends. Sure, every company may have the standard products we are familiar with, but there’s so much innovation and change that can occur.
Social media is a powerful tool, and BEAM will fully utilize that to increase brand awareness, start a movement, and grow into becoming an industry leader. They’re off to a great start, but there’s a lot more exciting things on the way. Make sure you follow along on social media (@youcanbeam on Instagram) and our blog to get all the details!
