All BioSuperfood and BioPreparation products contain four microalgae ingredients: Spirulina pacifica, Spirulina platensis, Dunaliella salina and astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis and absolutely nothing else. No binders or fillers to hinder digestion or absorption. These Earth"s best algae are selected from over 75,000 different species for their superior quality and nutritional content. Furthermore they are harvested hydroponically (not wild grown which are exposed to environmental pollutants) to deliver their highest potential, balance and synergy. Nature (not a scientist in a lab) put in these four microalgae over 5,000 individual nutrients. We only list some important ones below:
BioPreparation (a bio-algae concentrate) has the same ingredients (Spirulina pacifica, Spirulina platensis, Dunaliella salina and astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis) and same formulas as BioSuperfood (also a bio-algae concentrate). Dr. Michael Kiriac (bio-algae concentrates researcher) told us he always saw better results using BioPreparation with animals and BioSuperfood with people. While research has not uncovered all the reasons here are just three:
BioPreparation and BioSuperfood are NOT isolated supplements (like a Vitamin C pill or fish oil capsule) but whole food products (like an orange and salmon). Whole food product benefits are not measured in milligrams (mg) or International Units (IU) of individual nutrients like supplements. To learn the difference, read our blogs, "Whole Food Products vs Vitamins and Supplements," "Fallacy of Minimum Daily Requirement and "Supplement Discontinued: Symptoms Return."
There are over 5,000 individual nutrients in BioSuperfood/BioPreparation, far too many to print. Be aware, though, that BioSuperfood/BioPreparation are whole food products (algae is a whole food at the bottom of the food chain and native to all creatures' diet) and therefore, not a supplement, so one cannot compare benefits in milligrams of nutrients from BioSuperfood/BioPreparation to a supplement in measuring its effectiveness or comparing value (read our blog "Whole Food Products vs Vitamins and Supplements."). Consider these two examples.
Back in the 18th century, European travelers were crossing the Atlantic Ocean to the New World. They discovered if they drank fresh lime juice they did not get scurvy (a Vitamin C deficiency resulting in weakness and joint pain, internal hemorrhages causing black-and-blue marks to appear on the skin, gums hemorrhaging and becoming weak and spongy, teeth root break down where teeth loosen and eating becomes difficult and painful). That is why British sailors were called 'limeys.' It was not until the 20th century, that scientists finally isolated the beneficial nutrient in citrus fruits as vitamin C. What is not commonly known is by taking isolated Vitamin C in the form of an ascorbic acid supplement, one only gets rid of the symptoms of scurvy. When the ascorbic acid supplement is discontinued the symptoms and disease returns. However, if one gets Vitamin C made from an extract of whole green peppers, not only do the symptoms disappear but the scurvy is gone when discontinued. Vitamin C in the form of a whole food product contains rutin, bioflavonoids, Vitamin E, selenium and zinc that Nature dictated is needed for Vitamin C to work optimally in our body. All these complementary nutrients are present in whole food sources of Vitamin C (e.g., green peppers, oranges, rose hips, acerola cherries, algae). By eating only an isolated supplement with just ascorbic acid or by juicing an orange and throwing away the pulp and peel, one is missing all the above necessary nutrients. I have proven this to myself by taking a time-released, megadose=2,000 mg Vitamin C tablet and a whole food Vitamin C made from rose hips and acerola cherries (Vitamin C=250 mg) to my chiropractor when I had a cold or flu. Through nutritional testing, the chiropractor determined the 2,000 mg supplement would help me recovery from the cold or flu but the 250 mg whole food tablet would do just as well or better. So, a Vitamin C supplement of 2,000 mg is not necessarily better than a whole food product containing 250 mg of Vitamin C.
Consider this evaluation regarding calcium for osteoporosis. Is an isolated supplement containing 1000 mg of calcium better than a whole food product containing only 300 mg of calcium? Research shows that an isolated calcium supplement has an absorption ratio of 18-23% while the 300 mg whole food product (containing minerals such as magnesium, vitamins such as Vitamin D, enzymes and amino acids Nature dictated are needed to make calcium work) has a utilization ratio of 90-95% calcium. So, if 1,000 mg X 23% = 230 mg absorbed while 300 mg X 95% = 285 mg utilized, which product is better? Another factor is that BioSuperfood facilitates a 90-95% calcium absorption rate for dietary calcium (calcium from your food). So, one will utilize even more calcium from the food you eat in addition to the 285 mg calcium supplied by the whole food product itself. Then end result is a net calcium effect in the body greater than the 230 mg absorbed from just an isolated supplement.
As you can see, the concept of comparing the effectiveness and benefits of whole food products is entirely different than isolated supplements. We measure a whole food product's value by the bioavailability, usability of nutrients and by its holistic results, all of which are not measured in milligrams or IU. BioSuperfood/BioPreparation are truly revolutionary holistic products in a capsule.
We cannot possibly list all 5,000+ individual nutrients in the bio-algae concentrates products. To download a PDF summary of the important nutrients in BioPreparation and BioSuperfood from a sample 10 g. batch, click BioSuperfood-BioPreparation Nutrient Analysis. WARNING: if you want to compare these amount of nutrients to your current isolated supplement, doctor's prescription, Minimum Daily Requirement (MDR), Required Dietary Allowance (RDA) or other allopathic scientific medicine study showing how many milligrams one needs to produce benefits, these numbers will NOT be relevant. It is like going bicyle shopping and comparing numbers from your car, such as miles-per-gallon, acceleration in seconds from 0-60 mph and cubic inch displacment of the car's engine. Those numbers are simply not relevant to the benefits of a bicycle, even though both are vehicles of transportation. Uncover more details on why this compairosn is not valid in our blogs, "Whole Food Products vs Vitamins and Supplements," "Fallacy of Minimum Daily Requirement" and "Supplement Discontinued: Symptoms Return."
This list is the nutrient quantities in milligrams of a generic 10 grams of microalgae. To get the total amount of a single nutrient, add the values across in the four columns under each species of algae, then multiply by 0.029 for the exact amount per 290 milligram capsule. Now multiply that number by how many capsules per day is given for your total daily amount. For example, there are a total of 12.34 mg of Vitamin C per 10 grams of algae microalgae powder. Therefore, there are 0.36 mg of Vitamin C per 290 mg capsule of microalgae. If one takes 6 capsule per day, one is getting 2.16 mg of Vitamin C. Compared to a therapeutic amount of 2,000+ mg of supplemental Vitamin C, this is miniscule. But that does not mean the microalgae powder has no beneficial effects.
All BioSuperfood and BioPreparation formulas contain the same four microalgae Spirulina pacifica, Spirulina platensis, Dunaliella salina and astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis and absolutely nothing else. The difference is the ratio of the four microalgae in the formulas. Dr. Kiriac changes the ratio of the nutritional green Spirulina algae with the antioxidant red Dunaliella salina and astaxanthin algae to develop the Core and Forte Formulas below according to the body's needs. The red algae are the antioxidants (alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, gamma-carotene, lycopene, lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin, etc.) that serve as super nutrition to energize and balance the three most important parts of the brain: the pituitary (master gland), pineal and hypothalamus. When this triad is balanced and functioning at optimal efficiency, it will be the brain and not the product (unlike drugs and isolated supplements), that will wake up the body's natural ability to heal. That is why our clients get more results from these revolutionary "wholistic," whole superfood products than so called "holistic," isolated supplements used to treat just the symptoms.
