What is BIOSUPERFOOD (BSF)?
BIOSUPERFOOD (BSF) is a whole food product formulated with four of the most nutrient and phytonutrient dense algae found on earth. Each BSF formula is formulated for different nutritional value. The formulas are presented in capsules that are easy to swallow and practical to use.
Is BSF a raw food?
How do I eat BSF?
BSF comes in vegetable capsule that are easy to swallow and practical to take at regular intervals throughout the day.
The two parts capsule can easily be twisted open to get the powder. Some people like to mix the powder in juice, water or in a smootie. Some people like the natural taste of algae and they let it disolve slowly right in the mouth or sub lingually.
How do I keep the BSF to preserve it best?
BSF is freeze dried at low temperature and in the process is crystallized, and will keep for many years at normal room temperature. It is best to keep it away from a hot stove or from direct sun exposure. Keeping it in a drawer or cupboard is best. It can also be kept in the refrigerator. We suggest to not keep it in the freezer as repeated thawing may initiate loss of enzyme and nutritional strength.
How much BSF should I consume each day?
For most people, we recommend starting with one or two capsules per day, increasing to six per day. Follow the directions on the bottle, work your way up at your own pace and also trust your intuition. No two people are alike.
How can BSF help with my specific medical condition?
BSF is not a medicine or remedy. If you have any concerns regarding your health or a specific medical condition it is always best to consult with your healthcare professional prior to consuming BSF.
What is the difference between BIOSUPERFOOD and BIOPREPARATION?
The BIOSUPERFOOD formulas are specifically designed for human, though as with other earthly foods, our animal companions can also consume them. The BIOSUPERFOOD formulas are the same nutritional makeup as BIOPREPARATION, except that they are freezed dried at a less cold temperature in order to achieve a slightly coarser powder. This was done to adjust uptake assimilation for human as we have long digestive tracks, unlike dogs and cats that have a very short track.
The BIOPREPARATION formulas were originally designed for animals, though as with earthly food, we human can also consume them. BIOPREPARATION are the same nutritional makeup as BIOSUPERFOOD, except that they are freezed dried at a colder temperature in order to achieve a sligthly finer powder. This was done to increase uptake assimilation for short digestive tracks animals like dogs and cats.
What is the difference between the formulas F1, F2 and F3?
The BSF nutritional formulas F1, F2, F3, and BP formulas F2+ and F3+ were developed in order to accommodate individual biochemistry. No two people or animal are alike. For example, a developing child has a different health state, resilience, immunity and nutritional needs than; an adult, an athlete, a vegan, or someone with a severe degenerative condition.
All formulas contain some amount of the green algae Spirulina Pacifica, Spirulina Platensis, and of the red algae Dunaliella and Haematoccocus Pluvialis. Together these algae provide thousands of nutrients with proportioned nutritional and protectional values. The green algae contain a broad spectrum of proteins, minerals and chlorophyll that have a great nutritional value, while the red algae contain a large amount of mixed carotenoids / antioxidants, phytonutrients and fatty acids that have a much higher protectional values, and a greater ability to cross the brain barrier and there nourish and protect the hypothalamus-pituitary axis.
Due to an increasingly larger amount of red algae from F1 to F2 to F3, the formulas have increasing brain reaching nutritional and protectional efficiencies. This is due to the fact that red alage contain more of carotenoids and fatty acids, that have efficiency at crossing the blood brain barrier and the blood iris barrier.
What's the difference between BSF and the many man-made nutritional supplements found on the market today?
BSF is a whole, organic water plant that has thousands of both discovered and undiscovered nutrients. These nutrients are fully assimilated without causing toxicity or burden. Often, only a fraction of the content of "health food vitamins" are actually absorbed by the body. Additionally, man-made supplements only contain what the formulators choose to include, and there are no control over the mixing with other supplements or the daily diet.
How is BSF different from other brands of algae?
BIOSUPERFOOD contains the micro-algae Spirulina Pacifica, Spirulina Platensis, Dunaliella and Haematoccocus for its high concentration of the carotenoid Astaxanthin. You can be assured that BIOSUPERFOOD never contains any toxic algae since they are grown in controlled bioreactors and not in the wild. Everything from the selection of light, heat, water and nutrients is done under the supervision of Dr Kiriac.
From over 20 years of research, the formulator Dr. Michael Kiriac had learned that specific light, heat and water conditions are necessary to maximize the nutrients of algae. The concentration of nutrients in BSF far exceeds that of any other single or mixed algae. This level of technology and purity is a principal reason why BIOSUPERFOOD is a breed apart in the algae market. Dr Kiriac's algae are more "nutraceutical" than any other algae and have a much greater potential to awaken the body's own natural ability to heal.
Why should one consume BSF daily?
First, for general nutrition and health support and maintenance: The proteins, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other nutrients in the blends are known to be supportive in the maintenance of overall health and of a healthy immune system. It's a natural whole food solution which is known to help your body maintain good health. Great for intestinal health in increasing the efficient digestion of food and absorption of nutrients, which may results in fewer cravings and less food consumed. Much independent research shows that high quality nutrients awakens your body's natural ability to heal. The American Cancer Society informs us that antioxidants and other carotenoids promote optimal health by boosting the immune system and protecting our cells from free radicals.

For vegans and vegetarians: Each veggie capsule contains over 50% of complete vegetarian proteins with a net utilization greater than 95%. The algae also contain the rare vitamin B12. Consuming the algae was proven in large animal studies to increase the uptake of proteins and other nutrient from the daily diet.
How is the consistent quality of BSF products assured?
The BIOSUPERFOOD formulas are certified by Health Canada for their purity and exact content. Health Canada imposes that each lot is analyzed for its nutrients content and verified for heavy metals and other pollutants.
Can I feed BIOPREPARATION to my pets?
Absolutely. Animals and pets love it. Many veterinarians successfully use BP with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, horses, and other animals that have nutritional deficiencies. Benefits are especially seen in older animals, bringing back youthfulness and a higher quality of life.
How does BSF work?
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 foods must be absorbed within our cells in sufficient quantity. With wrong food choice, aging, and other metabolic deficiencies, this absorption becomes quite inefficient and cellular disease takes over. Due to its extraordinary broad nutrient content and bioavailability, BSF's nourishing potential is much higher than that of ordinary foods and other supplements.
When will I notice a difference?
The beneficial effects of consuming BSF can be experienced within hours of consumption, while the more subtle benefits works to provide long-term protection and well-being. Some people may experience noticeable changes within a few weeks of use - others may notice differences right away or, conversely, notice no effect whatsoever.
While the benefits of consuming BSF may not always be tangible, there is no doubts that its nutrients are working "at the cellular level" throughout your entire body systems. As with any other health pursuit, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly in order to reap more of the full, long-term benefits of BSF.
Can pregnant or nursing mothers use BSF?
Yes they may, and as per our instructions on the bottle, we recommend that pregnant women start gradually and work your way up to four capsules daily. While nursing mother can start and use BSF normally. We recommend that pregnant women consult with their medical or healthcare practitioner.
I have been taking BSF for a week. I am not feeling benefits yet; in fact, I feel more tired and have had a slight headache.
It is normal when first starting to take BSF that some people may have some symptoms of detoxification, which may include a low grade headache and feeling more tired. These symptoms are the body's way of releasing toxins. BSF contains an abundant amount of chlorophyll which helps to rid the body of toxins. It is important to drink plenty of water throughout the day to help flush out any toxins.
When is the best time to take the BSF?
For maximum results, we recommend that you take BSF one capsule at a time starting first thing in the morning and continue taking one capsule at 3 to 6 regular intervals throughout the day preferably on an empty stomach.
When I take BSF on a regular basis, do I have to continue to take my multi-vitamin?
BSF contains some of vitamins A, B, C, D, E, K, all known minerals and amino acids, even some B12, Omega Fatty acids 3, 6, 9, gamma linoleic acid, and many carotenoids, some of the best antioxidants. Some people choose to take just BSF while others continue to take other supplements.
Some algae contain toxic levels of mercury, how do you know that BIOSUPERFOOD does not?
The BIOSUPERFOOD formulas are certified by Health Canada for their purity and exact content. Health Canada imposes that Each lot is analyzed for its nutrients content and verified for heavy metals and other pollutants.
There are over 25,000 different species of algae in the world. Most are found growing wildly, and some beneficial to all living creatures are cultivated by man for consumption; unfortunately many are toxic to some degree due to their habitats or pollutants.
In order to avoid airborne pollution including sun ultra violet damage, the sensitive algae in BIOSUPERFOOD are grown in covered facility called bioreactors where temperature, turbulence and light can be controlled and enhanced. And to further avoid toxicities from oceans or lakes, or open lagoons, a purest and most mineral rich water is obtained from geysers stemming from two thousand feet below a Siberian volcanic peninsula. They are grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and without antibiotics, growth hormones or any additives.
Can BSF vary in color from bottle to bottle?
As a domesticated, hydroponically-grown food, BSF tends to be very stable from harvest to harvest. Each harvest will yield slightly different amounts of chlorophyll, carotenoids, trace elements or essential fatty acids. Different harvests and different time since harvest will also result in difference in smell, color and taste.
Is BSF Kosher?
Yes, but not certified by an agency. The algae in BSF are all water base plants, contain no meat and no blood, and as such can be considered naturally "Kosher".
