BioSuperfood is a microalgae supplement for people FAR superior to ordinary synthesized vitamin & isolated mineral supplements(1)! BioSuperfood F1 Base, F2 Core & F3 Forte are the original nutritional microalgae formulas with over 20 years of research, development and testing on over 20 different animal species. An all-natural, whole food supplement created with four of the most nutrient dense algae found on earth, BioSuperfood is grown in a controlled, organic, hydroponic environment using mineral rich volcanic thermal fluid as the water source.
This controlled hydroponic environment maximizes the nutritional value of the algae in this formula(2) while virtually eliminating contaminants. Very different when compared to ordinary pond grown spirulina supplements (FYI - typical organic spirulina supplements have the same amount of heavy metal contaminants as regular spirulina!). Because BioSuperfood is a blend of four algae species, this amazing microalgae supplement provides balanced and synergistic whole food nutrition and powerful healing effects for people.
However, perhaps the most amazing benefit of the microalgae in BioSuperfood is their ability to provide direct cellular nutrition. This means they can feed your cells without the need for digestion - they just cross the digestive tract to feed cells directly! This means they can also cross the blood-brain barrier to feed the hypothalamus as well as the blood-retinal barrier to keep your eyes healthy!
BioSuperfood's thousands of nutrients occur in their pristine natural form that a person's body recognizes (unlike synthetic vitamins!). BioSuperfood is a Whole Food breakthrough in holistic nutrition with over 5,000 naturally occurring nutrients and the algae it contains are often promoted as superfoods(3)!!
Led by Professor Michael Kiriac, PhD., N.D., the Science Academy of the former Soviet Union deployed over a thousand person-years of intensive research efforts to produce bio-algae concentrates that hold extraordinary nutritional properties. Consisting of blends of the best algae from over 35,000 available on earth, these concentrates have been clinically proven and used in animal and human applications for over 20 years.
The BioSuperfood and BioPreparation formulas are certified under the Health Canada Natural Product program. The algae in these formulas are nurtured and harvested in a hydroponic pure environment, protected from pollutants, free of herbicides and pesticides, and blended, encapsulated and bottled under strict quality control. The algae are protected with a proprietary freeze-drying technology that preserves the nutrients 100%.

How BioSuperfood Works
As per Hippocrate's advice: "let thy food be thy medicine", good foods have the potential to nourish and heal. For this healing to be a reality, the nutrients in our food must be absorbed within our cells in sufficient quantities. With poor food choices, aging, and other metabolic deficiencies, this absorption becomes quite inefficient and cellular disease takes over. Due to its extraordinary broad nutrient content and bioavailability, BioSuperfood's nourishing potential is much higher than that of ordinary foods and other supplements.
In addition this formula has a dramatic effect on the brain! Specifically the hypothalamus and pineal glands that are responsible for the regulation of all physiological metabolisms. This includes the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, the central nervous system, the lymphatic system, the cardiovascular system and the digestive system. This is where all healing and systemic maintenance and repair begins and this is why BioSuperfood can have such a powerful effect on your health!
BioSuperfood Benefits
-
Contains Over 4,000 Enzymes
Cooked food lacks enzymes because heat kills live enzymes. You need enzymes daily to digest foods. Eating processed foods every day leads to depletion of live enzymes. Without enzymes you will age faster and be plagued with degenerative diseases such as arthritis, cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, etc.
-
BioSuperfood is a Whole Food Supplement
BioSuperfood is a whole food supplement that is safe, naturally occurring, balanced and complete with thousands of natural enzymes in a form easily assimilated by your body unlike most isolated or synthetic compounds found in other supplements. BioSuperfood is not, and far from, a conglomeration of separate, isolated vitamins and minerals or extracted and concentrated ingredients bound together and compressed with fillers into a pill.
-
Superior Immune System Support
Poor immune system, degenerative conditions and diseases, and a shorter life span are all indications of sub-standard nutritional diets. BioSuperfood helps give back to you the health nature intended you to have.
-
The microalgae in BioSuperfood formulas are nurtured and harvested in a controlled hydroponic environment, protected from pollutants and guaranteed free of herbicides and pesticides. They are further blended, encapsulated and bottled under strict quality control. The nutrients are protected with advanced freeze-drying technology that preserves 100% of the nutrients for many years.

BioSuperfood Details
Available in a container with 60 or 180 capsules.
BioSuperfood is a special blend of microalgae, the oldest form of food on the planet. Fossils exist of cyanobacteria blue-green algae that are over 3.5 billion years old. There are over 70,000 algae species or types of algae in the world. Some are magnificent whole foods such as spirulina and dunaliella as contained in BioPreparation.
There are thousands of known nutrients in BioSuperfood, and many unknown
BioSuperfood is a blend of four whole microalgae (whole as in whole food), each containing thousands of nutrients that are seen under the microscope or detected with the latest laboratory equipment. As with some fruits and vegetables, in BioSuperfood's microalgae, there are hundreds and possibly thousands more phytonutrients that are too small to be seen with their current microscopes and technologies, but that will be identified in the years to come. For example a few decades ago they identified lycopene in tomatoes even though it had been present in tomatoes for thousands of years.
Nutrient Profile
- Complete Protein Makeup
The algae in these blends have minimal cellulose in their cell walls, being composed of soft mucopolysaccharides. Their proteins are 85% to 95% digestible, far more than meat and fish (15-25%), soybeans (35%), dried milk (35%), peanuts (25%), eggs (12%), grains (8-14%) or whole milk (3%). This high digestibility rate is especially important for animals and people suffering from intestinal malabsorption problems which is very common nowadays. The elderly have even more difficulty digesting complex proteins, and many are on restricted diets.
- Amino Acids
Contains 20 amino acids; all eight to ten essential and 12 non-essential amino acids in high availability or non limiting form.
- A Complete Range of Naturally Occurring Vitamins
These formulas contain the array of vitamins that most living beings need to carry on metabolic processes. Not only do they contain all vitamins, including a full Vitamin B Complex, vitamins A, D, K, E & C, BUT also contain all co-dependent nutrients for these vitamins to be functional and active for proper assimilation.
- Minerals
There are more then 100 dietary minerals and trace elements detected in each of these formulas. But when using specific element analysis, some amount of all known dietary minerals can be detected! Minerals are constituents of the bones, teeth, soft tissue, muscle, blood, and nerve cells. They are vital to overall mental and physical well-being. Minerals act as catalysts for many biological reactions within the body, including, muscle response, the transmission of messages through the nervous system, and the utilization of nutrients in food.
- Trace Elements
Contain some amount of all known trace elements occurring in a most animal/human friendly form, that is naturally occurring from the plant kingdom. In biochemistry, a trace element is a chemical element that is needed in minute quantities for the proper growth, development, and physiology of the organism. For this reason, in biochemistry they are also called micro nutrients.
- Enzymes
These formulas contain thousands of enzymes! We believe that no other food or combination of foods contains so many naturally occurring enzymes. Some of these enzymes are critically important for health, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD). SOD is an iron-containing enzyme that supports important body-cell processes and also protects the cells from free radicals. Enzymes are specialized protein molecules facilitating most of the body's metabolic processes - such as, supplying energy, digesting foods, purifying your blood, ridding the body of waste products etc.
- Fatty Acids
Contain Omega 3, 6, 9, GLA and several more including some yet undocumented or undiscovered. Most of us think of fatty acids as oils coming from fish or seeds. You will be happy to learn that these formulas are a rich source and especially high in GLA, which is a critical nutrient that is universally lacking in the American diet.
- Chlorophyll
Spirulina in these formulas is one of the richest sources of chlorophyll with a perfect balance of magnesium. All plants, algae, and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) which photosynthesize, contain chlorophyll usually with the proper balance levels of magnesium required for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is sometimes called "green blood" because of its similarity to the hemoglobin molecule found in human blood cells. In fact, both are constructed of almost identical molecular structure called pyrrole rings, and both substances are chemically known as "porphyrin pigments" by scientists. In addition, there's nothing more supportive to cleansing than chlorophyll. And people who follow Western diets (high in processed foods and animal foods) are in desperate need of cleansing.
- Polysaccharides
The algae found in these formulas have unique cell wall made of complex polysaccharides, which have been shown to stimulate interferon production and exhibit strong anti-tumor activity in a series of studies conducted over the last several decades.
- Phytonutrients
These formulas with their mix of blue-green, brown and red microalgae contain thousands of phytochemicals and colorful pigments making up the entire color spectrum found in nature from blue to green and red. We know today that the principal nutrients for prevention of cancers are found in colorful fruits and vegetables (American Cancer Society). Those nutrients are the mixed of phytonutrients such as antioxidants, carotenoids, chlorophils and other compounds found in those fruits and vegetables and especially concentrated in BioPreparation and BioSuperfood formulas.
- Antioxidants
Contain extraordinary antioxidant compounds and especially those like alpha-carotene and beta-carotene known as "pro-pro vitamin A" for their capacity to not only traverse cell membrane but to span across the cell membrane. An antioxidant is a molecule capable of slowing or preventing the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that transfers electrons from a substance to an oxidizing agent. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals, which start chain reactions that damage cells. Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions by being oxidized themselves.
- Carotenoids
These formulas contain an extraordinary number of yellow/orange pigments called carotenoids. Carotenoids are organic pigments that are naturally occurring in plants and some other photosynthetic organisms like algae, some types of fungus and some bacteria. The extraordinary amounts of carotenoids and several lesser pigments such as phycoerythrin, tetrapyrrole, and phytonadione found in these algae are not just the "color" of living organisms, but are used to carry on metabolic processes throughout the body. Without them, enzymatic reactions would be reduced until cellular disintegration occurred.

It is important to note that these four species of algae were chosen out of tens of thousands of microalgae species. When combined they provide powerful, synergistic cellular nutrition.
*Please keep in mind that the algae in this formula are grown in an indoor, controlled environment free of pollutants. So, although you may find information online that algae such as these can be contaminated because they are usually grown in outdoor ponds, this is not the case for the microalgae in Biosuperfood.
Spirulina Pacifica and Platensis for their large protein and mineral values
These formulas contain two species of Spirulina; Spirulina Platensis and Spirulina Pacifica. Spirulinas are blue green micro-algae, unseen to the naked eye, usually grown in warm and brackish water. It contains between 60 to 70% complete and highly digestible proteins. Its protein makeup contains 18 to 22 amino acids, including all the 8 essential amino acids. Spirulina is a rich source of vitamins A, B, E, H, and of thousands of enzymes, dozens of minerals and trace elements, and chlorophyll.
They are also one of the best sources of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) – an essential fatty acid necessary for tissue growth and regeneration. Due to its soft cell wall all of Spirulina’s nutrients are easily assimilated.
When blended together, Platensis and Pacifica offer the entire family of amino acids and more minerals/ trace elements, vitamins, fatty acids and enzymes (gram for gram) than any other food on earth(4).
Dunaliella Salina for its extraordinary mix of carotenoids
Dunaliella Salina is a single celled, salt-water micro-algae that under appropriate growth conditions can accumulate large amounts of beta-carotene and other carotenoids. Dunaliella contains other carotenoids such as alpha carotene and xanthophylls like zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin and lutein. It also accumulates very high concentrations of glycerol.
High concentrations of beta-carotene and glycerol offer Dunaliella protection from the saline conditions and osmotic pressure of the environment where it lives. Natural mixed carotenoids found in Dunaliella salina are among nature's best antioxidants(5).
Haematococcus Pluvialis for its high content in astaxanthin
Haematococcus Pluvialis is the world's highest source of astaxanthin(6), a unique natural carotenoid pigment and an extremely powerful biological antioxidant. A growing body of scientific literature shows that natural astaxanthin surpasses by far the antioxidant benefits of vitamin C and vitamin E (7).
Astaxanthin holds superior antioxidant activity and has an ability to support and maintain natural inflammatory response. Additionally, scientific research has proven that astaxanthin is able to cross the blood-brain barrier and the central nervous system better than many other antioxidants.
Other Ingredients: Vegetarian Gelatin, Water and Glycerin. Please notice that there are none of the usual synthetic additives found in most other capsules and tablets.
Suggested Use
As a multivitamin supplement take 1 to 12 capsules daily of whichever formula best suits your needs. Base this on your needs and/or budget. For instance, if you are on a tight budget take 1 or 2 capsules daily. If your budget allows, and/or you have special needs, such as cancer, take up to 12. As an example, my wife and I take four capsules of F3 Forte daily - one with each meal and an afternoon serving.
Important
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. If you have high blood pressure or are pregnant, start with one capsule a day of the F1 Base formula. Add one capsule every 10 days up to 4 per day. You may be able to go up to a more concentrated formula as determined on an individual basis. In other words, if you try the F2 Core formula and your blood pressure increases you know you will have to stay with the F1 Base.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place.
BioSuperfood F1 Base
