We suggest introducing any superfood to the body slowly as
outlined in our welcome letter. The
average adult usage guideline (4–6
capsules/day) is just a beginning amount for a subject in
 reasonably
good health. Every body is different and it is important to listen to
the body. Drink plenty of pure water to flush out your body’s toxins.
Adjust the amount depending on your diet, activity level and health
status. Athletes or people with health challenges may need a higher
amount. If a body has any health challenges, such as sensitive stomach,
inflammatory bowel symptoms, kidney or liver compromise, high blood
pressure or hypertension, heart problems or a sensitive body, we suggest
a more gradual introduction than usual. For example, start at half the
suggested beginning amount and hold that for the first ten days to see
how the body responds. If the body readily accepts the new superfood,
then incrementally increase the amount every ten days thereafter up to
the desired amount. Children should start with half the suggested
beginning adult usage guideline (or less depending on body weight) and adjust
gradually upwards. More details published in our e-newsletter article:

Each body is an individual and the exact amount needed to produce
results depends on genetics, health history, quality of diet, lifestyle
and many other factors. With a supplement, one can isolate individual
nutrients and run tests for their effectiveness using specific amounts
based on body weight. But a whole food product has too many nutrients
(over 5,000) to isolate and does not have therapeutic quantities of any one
nutrient. More details published in our e-newsletter article:
How Much Do I Take/Give?
Our general guidelines are to use up to one capsule per 20 pounds of
body weight, up to about 60 pounds, for maintenance. One can use less
for sensitive bodies, those with previous digestive, high blood
pressure, heart, kidney or liver issues and those that already eat a
fairly good diet (no diet pop, artificial sweeteners, fried foods, fast
foods, fattening desserts every day, etc.). One can use more for a body
with symptoms, active infections, acute injuries, recent surgery or any
degenerative disease. Over 60 pounds, we suggest one additional capsule
per 30 pounds of additional body weight for maintenance. One can
increase the maintenance amount by 1.5-2.0, times as needed and
tolerated by the body, for advanced health purposes. For some
extreme cases, 1-2 capsules every 1-2 hours may be necessary to bring
the body back into balance and produce wellness.

 We suggest starting a new superfood gradually while continuing to take your
previous vitamins, supplements and herbs. You eventually may be able to reduce
these supplements because superfood products provide more absorption and
utilization of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and essential fatty
acids (such as Omega oils) than isolated supplements. As this super nutrition
wakes up your body, the intestines are cleansed and your body will become more
efficient needing less nutrient supplementation.
It is not a good idea to start a cleansing program at the same time since
superfoods are very cleansing themselves. Starting a colon-cleansing program or
some detoxifying herbs at the same time as a superfood, could produce too much
cleansing. It is not a good idea to introduce any new supplement at the same
time as other dietary changes. Do one thing at a time to monitor the results.

At this time, we know of no known contraindications using
BioSuperfood/BioPreparation with any vitamin, herb, supplement,
homeopathic remedy, other holistic products or drug. Since
BioSuperfood/BioPreparation increases the absorption and utilization of
everything that is ingested, one may want to monitor the need for
vitamins, supplements and especially drugs, to see if the amount can be
reduced.

Scientific studies are only valid if one were to get their Vitamin C,
Vitamin E, calcium, etc. source from the exact isolated supplement (most likely
synthetic) used in the study. Here is why Minimum Daily Requirements (MDR) or
Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) is an unintended deception when
comparing to whole food products.
Recent studies show the body absorbs and utilizes only 20-25% of isolated
vitamins and supplements it ingests. When the source is not an isolated vitamin
or supplement but a whole food product, this
 absorption and utilization rate
increases to 90-95%. The reason is, Nature did not intend for us to eat isolated
vitamins or supplements but whole foods. Modern research shows Vitamin C needs rutin, bioflavanoids, Vitamin E, selenium and zinc to work properly. But what
other complementary vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes are needed to
make Vitamin C work that scientists have not yet discovered? So, when one takes
an isolated Vitamin C tablet (pure ascorbic acid) to boost their immune system
when one has a cold, the body has to search out and even rob the rest of the
dietary food and body for these complementary nutrients to make the supplemental
ascorbic acid work properly. This is why one has to take a high therapeutic
quantities (e.g., 2,000-5,000 mg) of Vitamin C to get results. So, when the minimum
needed is 75-90 mg and one takes a supplement with a therapeutic quantity of 2,000
mg of Vitamin C, one gets a false sense of security that all the Vitamin C is
being absorbed and utilized and all is well in the body.
When comparing the MDR, RDA or prescribed therapeutic quantities of supplements to
whole foods, one must look at real results in terms of absorption and
utilization in the body, not allopathically prescribed dosages according to
Western medicine. For example, if one takes a 1000 mg isolated calcium
supplement and multiplies by the absorption rate of 25%, one absorbs only 250 mg
(1000 mg X 0.25). However, whole food products have a 90-95% absorption rate
because they contain all the complementary vitamins (i.e., Vitamin D), minerals
(i.e., magnesium), amino acids, enzymes, etc. that Nature dictated are needed to
make calcium work. So, getting 350 mg of calcium from a whole food product will
yield absorption of 333 mg (350 mg X 0.95). Since 333 mg absorption from whole
foods is better than 250 mg from the isolated supplement, the whole food product
containing only 350 mg calcium is better than an isolated calcium supplement
advertising 1000 mg.

Since superfood products improve digestion, it is best to take it with
meals (30 minutes before if trying to lose weight) but it will benefit
you no matter when you take it. Rather than skip an amount, go ahead and
take it between meals if you forget during the meal. For maximum
results, spread out a superfood product in equal amounts throughout the
day (for example, take 2 capsules every meal instead of 6 capsules at
breakfast).

Studies show that it generally takes at least 90 days for any permanent
change in the body to take effect. This includes changing personal
habits, quitting smoking, dieting to lose weight, results
 from natural
supplements, etc. Some people notice dramatic changes the first week
while others notice gradual changes over several months. People who are
healthy may not notice anything dramatic but then realize after a few
months that they are sleeping less, have more energy, have cut a minute
off their running time, their hair is thicker and shinier or they can
handle stress better. Some people notice a general feeling of well
being, while others noticed they have not gotten sick. The changes can
be subtle and take a while to occur. More details published in our
e-newsletter article:

A superfood product is not a “magic pill” to see if it cures all your
ills. Taking a superfood product is like changing the oil in your
car—preventive maintenance. If your doctor told you to eat more fruits
and vegetables, would you stop if you did not see a dramatic improvement
in your health?
Superfood products, such as microalgae, are not only a whole food but
also are a highly concentrated superfood delivering much more nutrients,
antioxidants, etc. per gram when compared to foods. The developer of
BioSuperfood/BioPreparation, Dr. Michael Kiriac, states that “one jar of
microalgae concentrate equals 12 truckloads of alfalfa”. Therefore, the
benefits from taking this concentrated product cannot be equaled by
simply eating a healthy diet or taking normal supplements.

There could be many reasons why you body is not responding. Listed
below are suggestions we have accumulated from our clients and based on
our nutritional experience with the products.
- Take the capsules on a regular basis—just like playing an
instrument or becoming a professional athlete, one must practice
true holistic health on a regular basis. Taking whole food products
just when you have symptoms or whenever you remember, will only
produce marginal results. The choice is yours.
- Spread out the total daily amount—research has shown
better results are obtained by spreading out the total daily amount
evenly in many smaller amounts rather than 1-2 daily amounts. In
other words, two 3-capsule amounts is better than one 6-capsule
amount, three 2-capsule amounts is even better and six 1-capsule
amounts per day is best. In extreme cases, clients have taken twelve
½-capsule amounts per day. One can get more benefits and not have to
take more capsules.
- Use a combination of Formula 2, 2+ and Formula 3, 3+—if
you are not seeing significant results after 90 days or your
progress has peaked, we suggest trying a combination of Formula 2,
2+ and Formula 3, 3+. Sometimes the body is too depleted, the chronic
conditions have been going on for too long or there is a genetic
predisposition to neutralize and more antioxidants and super
nutrition for the brain is needed. This can be supplied with more
Formula 3,3+.
- Try all Formula 3, 3+—all degenerative diseases begin in
the brain. While kidney supplements might help the symptoms of
chronic kidney failure, it is not until the glands and organs in the
brain are balanced and the adequate nutrients supplied that the body
will finally respond.

Incomplete digestion, sluggish intestines and a clogged bowel are all
conditions that will benefit
 from superfoods. However, the old plaque
and gunk coating these organs must first be cleaned out. Gas, bloating,
nausea, loose stools, constipation or any change in bowel movements are a sign the
body is cleaning out first. Once this passes, the body will be able to
absorb more nutrients from food and supplements and more efficiently
eliminate wastes and toxins. If a subject throws up after the first few
introductions, it means too much superfood has been given too fast.
Follow the instructions below under excessive detoxing.
When you have symptoms from detoxing, it
indicates that your organs of elimination are not able to keep up with
the load of toxins being dumped out of the cells. So we do not suggest
that you “tough it out” if the symptoms are severe. Instead, it is best
to cut back the amount to a tolerable level. You can even decrease the
amount to one capsule per day or every other day if needed. Some highly
sensitive people can only tolerate one pinch per day for the first 1-4
weeks. Take whatever daily amount your body can tolerate initially. If
you should experience diarrhea, cut back the amount or even discontinue
for a few days until your stools normalize so that you do not become
dehydrated. If you should become constipated, this holistically means
the body was fluid deficient before starting and cannot flush out all
the daily wastes and toxins. Adding our whole superfood only exacerbated
this pre-existing condition. The obviously solution is to cut back on
the bio-algae concentrates, while increasing your intake of pure water
up to the requirements per body weight until bowel movements normalize.
(Average water requirements are 2/3 your body weight in ounces adjusted
for diet and lifestyle. For example, a 120 pound body needs 80 ounces of
water daily.)
There is absolutely nothing wrong with only being able to tolerate a
very small amount in the beginning. One is still getting health benefits
and by taking such a small amount of superfood, you are saving money as
well. We feel it is a more holistic approach to treat the body gently
and very slowly build up the amount, rather than blasting the body with
a higher amount than it can tolerate.

Drugs and supplements have side
effects because one is giving isolated ingredients in large therapeutic
quantities to the body far in excess of what Nature intended it to receive.
On the other hand, whole food products do not contain large therapeutic
quantities of any one ingredient but can cause unintended consequences (for
example, excessive detoxing symptoms). Excessive signs of detoxing (for
example, increased thirst, lethargy, loss of appetite, headaches, change
in digestion, rash, itching, outbreak of sores, abscesses, new lumps,
vomiting, loose stools or diarrhea, dizziness) or exacerbation of
current symptoms (for example, flu symptoms, tumors growing larger) are
not side effects but signs the body is responding to the new superfood.
A rash is not a sign the body is “allergic” to the superfood but
indicates the body is working hard to eliminate toxins. The reason for
the rash is that the body (intestines, kidneys, liver) has not had time
to boost up to 100% efficiency yet and therefore must push the excessive
toxins out the largest excretory organ of the body—the skin. Options
include:
- Stop taking the product all together.
- Stop taking the product until the worsening symptoms go away.
Then start taking the product again in a more gradual amount
(e.g., ½-1.0 capsule/day for first ten days).
- Continue taking the product (or even increasing the
amount)
to feed the body and process the healing crisis more aggressively.
It all depends on the individual’s constitution. Obviously, if the
symptoms are serious (for example, diarrhea or vomiting) always consult
a doctor.

Triggering a healing crisis after starting a new superfood product is
common. The imbalance
 or illness was already present in the body but
without symptoms. Chronic low-grade infections or viruses sometime hide
in the body, appearing only when your immune system is compromised
(e.g., fatigued or stressed). After one boosts the immune system with
the superfood product, the body can now stabilize this imbalance and
expel the source. One can either take more of the superfood product to
further support the immune system and get over the illness quicker or
take less of the superfood product if your symptoms are too unbearable.
The choice is up to you. Rest assured that you have triggered your
body’s own natural ability to heal.

In cases where people have a sensitive body
or lead a “clean” lifestyle, BioSuperfood/ BioPreparation can supply
too much energy at night. While this is of great benefit during the day,
one also needs sleep to repair and rejuvenate the body. If this
unintended consequence should occur,
we suggest taking BioSuperfood/BioPreparation before dinner and not
after. In
extremely sensitive cases, one might need to reduce the last daily
amount in the evening (for example, 3 capsules + 2 capsules + 1 capsule) or take all capsules before
4:00 PM.

Many doctors do not have the nutritional knowledge to understand how
nutritional products work. Doctors are used to getting Material Safety
Data Sheets (MSDS), FDA-approved double-blind placebo studies and color
glossy dosage charts on how to use prescribed drugs and medicine. These
cost thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dollars. Without this
information, their level of comfort in using a new holistic product is
not very high.
Return to list of questions at top.
In order to advertise a product as a cure for any disease or symptom,
manufacturers must have FDA-approved, scientific proof that their
ingredients or product does exactly what they say it does. These
double-blind placebo tests cost hundreds of thousands (even millions) of
dollars. With a supplement, one can test individual ingredients for
their effectiveness and therapeutic usage. In this case, it is the ingredients
that are doing the work. With a whole food product like
BioSuperfood/BioPreparation, with over 5,000 individual ingredients, it
is not the product that is doing the work but the body. A true holistic
product wakes up the body’s own natural ability to heal, therefore, it
is NOT the product (or individual ingredient) that is doing the healing.
That is the fundamental difference between a supplement and a holistic
whole food product.
One claim BioSuperfood/BioPreparation can make is:
“A source of
antioxidants for maintenance of good health.”

Bio-Algae Concentrates is the research name used by
Dr. Michael Kiriac,
as he experimented with many different algae species in an attempt to
eradicate the cancer epidemic in their chickens, rabbits and mink in the
former Soviet Union. Based on this 25+years of research, BioSuperfood
was released in 1999 and BioPreparation subsequently in 2004, as
commercial nutritional products
 containing the four specific microalgae
species of Spirulina pacifica, Spirulina platensis, Dunaliella salina
and astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis and absolutely nothing
else. The manufacturer does not have large advertising and marketing
budgets like the large conglomerate drug companies. They have chosen to
distribute their revolutionary holistic products through caring
healthcare professionals (e.g., doctors, chiropractors, nutritionists)
and dedicated holistic distributors (like Optimum Choices, LLC) who can
explain that BioSuperfood/BioPreparation are
not supplements and work
differently than 95% of the bottles on the retail health food or vitamin
store shelves. Through the wisdom of these holistic experts, the client
can obtain maximum benefits for their clients.
