Overview

These algae were selected among thousands of species for their unique properties, quality and compatibility. They are hydroponically grown to their highest potential of completeness, balance and synergy.

Spirulina

Selected for its large protein and mineral values

BioSuperfood formulas contain these two species:

• Spirulina Platensis
• Spirulina Pacifica

Spirulina is a blue green micro-algae, unseen to the naked eye. It contains between 60% to 70% complete and highly digestible proteins. Its protein makeup contains 18 to 22 amino acids, including all 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.

Spirulina is 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 which is easily digested, all of Spirulina’s nutrients are readily assimilated.

Dunaliella Salina

Selected 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.

Haematococcus Pluvialis

Selected for its high astaxanthin content

Haematococcus Pluvialis is the world's greatest source of astaxanthin, a unique natural carotenoid pigment and an extremely powerful biological antioxidant. A growing body of scientific literature shows that natural astaxanthin far surpasses the antioxidant benefits of vitamins C and E.

Astaxanthin holds superior antioxidant activity and has the 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.

Extraordinary Nutritional Value

BioSuperfood contains many nutrients.

Proteins

High-quality complete protein (between 45% to 55% protein) with 98% net assimilation, including all the essential amino acids.

Vitamins

Contains all known vitamins—A, B complex, C, D, E and K. Includes vitamin B12, which is rarely found in plants, and is very beneficial for vegans and vegetarians.

Minerals

Over 92 natural minerals and trace elements like calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, sodium, iridium, iron, copper, selenium, fluorine and more.

Essential Fatty Acids (EFA)

The essential fatty acids Omega-3, Omega-6, including rare Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), and non essential Omega-9, and many more fatty acids. EFAs are the “good” fats essential to human health and critical for healthy brain function.

Enzymes

Thousands of enzymes critical for good health. Enzymes facilitate breakdown of foods and increase the reproduction of lactobacilli—the bacteria that digests our food.

Mixed Carotenoids

Carotenoids play an important role in human health by acting as powerful antioxidants, protecting the cells of the body from the damaging effects of free radicals. The following range of carotenoids can be found in BSF: alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, astaxanthin, lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin, quercitin, cryptoxanthin, and many more.

Nucleic Acids

DNA & RNA, the building blocks of living organisms, needed for effective tissue growth and repair, as well as healthy cell function.

Chlorophyll with Extraordinary Calcium Spirulan

Chlorophyll is to plants what blood is to humans—essential to metabolic functions such as growth and respiration. Chlorophyll being comprised of magnesium, plays an important role in calcium digestion and absorption.
