The following BioSuperfood and BioPreparation usage suggestions are based on
the manufacturer's research and recommendations, our scientific degrees, 75+
years of combined holistic living experience and over 6 years (since 2002) of
using the products ourselves, on our pets and in our animal practice. Other than the manufacturer (BioNutrition in
Canada and
its agent BioAge, LLC in the U.S.), Optimum Choices has the most experience using these products with
cats and dogs than any other company. We are the largest and premier distributor/reseller
of BioPreparation in the world (we ship internationally). Based on our
nutritional experience with the products, we feel the manufacturer's
recommendations on their label (i.e., One capsule per 15 lbs. daily) is
too high for animals over 30 pounds and often not needed except in
severe health conditions.
We are
not doctors, vets or certified nutritionists. Please see a qualified health
practitioner for any illness or disease. The following is only for nutritional
guidance.

Core Formula 2 is perfectly balanced and most suitable for the average child,
animal or adult and for one that doesn’t have any serious health conditions and
doesn’t eat a poor nutritional diet (e.g., lots of preserved red meat, diet soda, fried
foods, alcohol, tobacco or dry kibble for pets). Core Formula 2 is nutraceutically formulated for a more protective health plan.
Our customers have used
it mainly for maintenance, minor health challenges and imbalances, such
as:
Weight loss
Lack of energy
Poor sleep patterns
Slowing down due to age
Dry skin and coat in animals
Digestive problems, gas, bloating
Beginning Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) in cats
Stiffness and inflexibility due to beginning arthritic
conditions
Mild allergies—food or mold allergies, seasonal allergies to
pollen and weeds
Manufacturer's suggested directions: Take 4 to 16 capsules daily with 8 to 10 eight ounce
glasses of pure water. The average adult people dose is 4-6 capsules/day and
for
pets 1-2 capsules/day depending on size, diet and lifestyle.

Forte Formula 3 will support a more advance therapeutic approach to health
and renewal. Formula 3 has the most antioxidants and and super nutrition ingredients that
nourish the brain and endocrine system that can help with any
degenerative disease. Our
customers have successfully used this formula to nutritionally
support the following health challenges:
In younger animals with chronic and degenerative conditions, we sometimes
use BP-F3+ first and then after the symptoms reach a reasonable level or are
eliminated, either add or
switch to BP-F2+ as the body heals itself. That is the big difference between
true
holistic products and natural but allopathically formulated products. With other
“holistic” (natural but not entirely holistic) products one must increase the
dosage or strength over time.
Manufacturer's suggested directions: Take 4 to 16 capsules daily with 8 to 10 eight
ounce glasses of pure water. The average adult people dose is 4-6 capsules/day
and for pets 1-2 capsules/day depending on size, diet and lifestyle.
ALL USERS
Since
BioSuperfood is such a therapeutic product, we suggest introducing it to your
body slowly. We suggest starting with one capsule per day with a meal for
people. Stay with this dosage for about 3–5 days and if your body has adapted
without any problems, gradually increase the dosage every 3-5 days by another
capsule per day (taken with meals) up to that suggested by your practitioner.
The average adult dosage is 4–6 capsules per day. Those with a sensitive
body or very healthy diet may want to take less. Those with serious health
challenges can take more (10-25 capsules per day) as the body allows.
While allopathically it is true, to get rid of symptoms, taking the more
therapeutic formula is better, therapeutic strength is not always what the body
needs to attain total wellness. Therapeutic (detoxifying) strength can be a
disadvantage if one has high blood pressure, heart condition or compromised
kidneys or liver.* For chronic conditions we find taking a lower dosage (or
formula) at more frequent intervals works better than blasting the body with a
higher dosage (or formula). We literally have to change our allopathic ways and
linear thinking of taking supplements to match symptoms in order to accept this
quantum leap in holistic wellness that BSF/BP offers us. As far as therapeutic potency goes, Formula 3 is 5X more potent
therapeutically than
Formula 2 but that doesn’t necessarily mean Formula 3 is 5X better for your
body. When working holistically we need to avoid measuring a formula’s
(product’s) value by its therapeutic strength (power) and look more at its
therapeutic value towards balancing rather than blasting the whole body
(especially for chronic, systemic, endocrine and immune systems, and brain
conditions).
One diabetic took one capsule BSF-F3 every hour for three months and
was able to reduce, then eliminate his medication. This technique has also
worked for thyroid patients in reducing their need for medication. That is why
taking BSF-F2 at more frequent
hourly intervals could be just as good as or even better than blasting your body
with 8-10 F3 capsules taken twice per day. By taking BSF at frequent intervals,
one literally is retraining the master glands of the brain and entire endocrine
system to handle the daily stress, blood sugar levels, pollution, energy level
bursts and dips of daily living.
*PRECAUTIONS If you (or your animal) have any health challenges, such as sensitive
stomach, irritable bowel symptoms, kidney or liver compromise, high
blood pressure, hypertension, varicose veins, heart problems or a
sensitive body, we suggest a more gradual introduction (i.e., one
capsule BSF for humans and ¼-½ capsule BioPreparation for animals—see special instructions for
CATS) per day for the first ten days to see how the body
responds. If the body readily accepts the superfood product without any
problems, then slowly increase by one capsule (¼-½ capsule for animals)
every ten days thereafter up to the desired dosage. One must allow the
body to gradually adjust to the increased efficiencies and greater
output of all the organs and glands. It would be unwise to
increased the heart's flow of blood before the veins and arteries are
strong enough to handle it. Flushing out toxins in the body is desirable
but not at such a fast rate that the kidneys, liver and intestines
cannot handle the volume and produce "side effects." See
FAQ page.
If you (or your pet) has undergone recent
surgery, is under any type of prescription drug program, undergoing
chemotherapy/radiation treatment or has actively growing tumors, we
suggest a very gradual introduction to BioSuperfood/BioPreparation. We have seen
both people and pets get too much BioSuperfood/BioPreparation, too fast in the beginning
(in hopes of "healing" quickly) with the initial results being
vomiting and/or diarrhea. While this is not a side effect of the
product, the results are unpleasant. In our holistic opinion, these
signs show the product is working by waking up the body's natural
ability to heal and purging toxins from the body but the dosage is more
aggressive than the body can handle. For any of the previously mentioned
conditions, we suggest the following beginning dosages:
Small size animals = 1/2 capsule per day
(1/4 morning +1/4 evening) for the first 5 days
Medium and large size animals = 1.0 capsule per day
(1/2 morning + 1/2 evening) for the first 5 days
People = 1.0 capsules per day (with a
meal) for the first 5-10 days
Hold this beginning dosage for the above time
interval and increase incrementally at the same time interval if the
body adjusts without any problems to this new superfood.
In emergency cases where the
animal is not eating and death looks to be imminent, this could be
accelerated to 1/2 capsule every 4 hours. One can mix the algae powder
in 1/2 cup of water and administer with an eye dropper or syringe. Be
careful not to squirt the water too far back into the throat or too
forcefully, as to cause gagging. Our rule of thumb is, give as much as
the body can tolerate without exacerbating the current symptoms or
causing detoxing symptoms to appear.
CONTRA-INDICATIONS
There are no known contra-indications of using BioSuperfood or
BioPreparation with any drug, vitamin, supplement, herb or homeopathic
remedy. It is not a good idea to start a cleansing program at the same
time you start taking a superfood product since it is very cleansing
itself. Starting a colon-cleansing program or some detoxifying herbs at
the same time as a superfood product could produce too much cleansing.
With animals, it is not a good idea to introduce a new supplement at the
same time as other dietary changes (e.g., food change). Do one thing at
a time to monitor the results.
ANIMALS Since
BioPreparation is such a therapeutic holistic product, we suggest
introducing it to your animal slowly. Typically for a cat, we
suggest starting with just a pinch (for a finicky cat dip the end of a
flat toothpick in the algae powder) mixed thoroughly in their favorite
flavor wet food at each meal. For a dog usually ¼ to ½ capsule is
adequate. Stay with this dosage for about 3–5 days and if your animal
has adapted without any problems, gradually increase the dosage up to
that suggested by your practitioner.
Dogs and cats are carnivores and
have a shorter digestive tract than humans. To compensate for this,
BioPreparation is customized for animals using these unique
manufacturing processes:
BP is freeze-dried at a lower temperature than BSF breaking it down
more for quicker
absorption in animals.
BP is ground to a finer powder than BSF for quicker assimilation by
animals.
The
above special manufacturing steps make BP more quickly absorbed and therapeutic for all animals (especially carnivores) hence the “+”
symbol. We have found from our animal
experience that BP-F2+ and F3+ are more therapeutic than their human formula
counterparts. One dog was on 8 capsules BSF-F2 per day for an
auto-immune disorder and went down to 6 capsules BSF-F2 after many
months of progress. When BP came out in March, 2004, we used an
animal communicator to
determine the optimum dosage. Instead of four capsules BSF-F2 at that
time, the dog
only needed two capsules BP-F2+.
When deciding on an optimum dosages of BioPreparation remember to think
homeopathically rather than allopathically. Do not dose strictly according to
body weight or symptoms. A 100 lbs. animal does not necessarily need five times
what a 20 lbs. animal needs. BP/BSF works by feeding and energizing the master
glands of the brain (pineal, pituitary and hypothalamus). Once the master glands
are balanced all the other secondary glands (e.g., thyroid, adrenal, thymus) and
organs (e.g., pancreas, liver, kidney) heal themselves holistically. We are
finding that after an animal/customer has been on BP/BSF a while the dosage and
sometimes the formula (BP-F3+ down to BP-F2+) can be reduced due to the body
healing itself holistically (unlike allopathic remedies that must be increased
over time).
The best results for animals occur when one opens up the capsule and
sprinkles the algae powder on the food. BP/BSF does not come in powder form
only capsules. It is also better to spread the total daily dosage evenly
throughout the day’s meals. We have found starting off with a pinch to 1/2
capsule per day is a good safe beginning. Animals are less likely to have an
adverse effect and one can always increase from there. If an animal (or person)
has an adverse first reaction, it is hard to change their first impression of
the product and get them back on it. Since BP/BSF is so therapeutic, we don’t
want to trigger a detoxing reaction or healing crisis at the start.
For any type of heart condition, irritable bowel symptoms and kidney
or liver compromise we might suggest starting with the gentler human
formula BioSuperfood (see
PRECAUTIONS
above). For any type of cancer we might suggest the more therapeutic
BioPreparation for nutritional support. We use both the human and animal
formulas according to the subject’s needs. We base our suggestions on
our nutritional experience with the product and the animal’s age, weight
and health history.
One of our case histories was a 60 lbs German shepherd mix, Baby Bear, with a
mast cell cancer tumor on its paw. The tumor was reduced 50% after 15 days using
just one pinch per day of BP-F3+ the first week and one-half capsule per day the
second week. After ten weeks the tumor was virtually gone having increased the
dosage to just one and a half capsules per day by the final week. We find
listening to the owner and observing the animal, using an animal communicator,
kinesiology muscle testing and one’s own intuition is far better than any dosage
chart. Baby Bear’s photos can be viewed at:
Cancer Results.
We have animals and humans taking both BSF and BP
according to their individual needs and circumstances. If you would like to
consult with us about your animal, you can send us an
e-mail
with your animal’s breed, age, weight, health history and current symptoms and
we’d be glad to give you our nutritional suggestions. We, obviously, cannot
prescribe or diagnose since we are not vets but we would be glad to share our
nutritional experiences with you.
Here are some suggested dosages based on our nutritional experiences with the
product:
DOGS Start with one-quarter to one-half capsule BP-F2+ (depending on size) and work up to 1–2
capsules per day of BP-F2+ depending on body weight and health conditions.
With more advanced degenerative conditions increase the number of
capsules and/or use BP-F3+ accordingly. Giant breed dogs (have
slower metabolism), especially those with arthritis (need constant nutritional
support), might do better on the human formula,
BioSuperfood, perhaps because it
stays in their system longer. Experiment with giant breed dog.
CATS Cats
are a different story. We have one feline vet that
mostly uses the human product BSF because she says the BP is too "hot"
in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) sense and tends to cause more
detoxing in cats. One can prevent this by by using the anmial product,
BioPreparatiom, but start out at a much more gradual dosage (e.g., one pinch per
meal to start). Other vets use both products, BP or BSF, according to
the animal’s needs. Since cats are notoriously picky eaters we
suggest to our customers to start out with a pinch (for picky cats dip
the end of one toothpick full) of BP in their favorite flavor of canned
food. Mix the pinch in well so the mixture looks homogeneous. After one
week (or so) the cat will adjust to the smell and taste and now one can
start increasing the dosage gradually (two toothpicks full). In difficult cases, one can
always use human tuna or tuna juice to entice the cat to eat the
mixture. But be aware that regular feeding of human tuna depletes a cat
of Vitamin E. Yes, some cats reject the BP laced food but persistence
pays off. See
cat hints for a list of how to successfully
introduce BP/BSF to a finicky cat. Talk to your cat and explain this is a healthy addition
to their food so that they won’t have to go to the vet as often when
they get older and they can enjoy a healthy, longer life.
Cats — start with one pinch (for picky cats start with one toothpick
full) BP-F2+ and work up to one-half to 1 capsule per day for a small to medium
size cat. For large cats (18-20+ lbs.) one can work up to 1.5-2.0 capsules/day.
With more advanced degenerative conditions increase the number of
capsules and/or use BP-F3+ accordingly.
HORSES
Horses—1–2 capsules of BP-F2+ two to three times per day as standard
maintenance. With more advanced degenerative conditions increase the number of
capsules and/or use BP-F3+ accordingly.
SMALL ANIMALS—guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, ferrets, mice
Start out with a pinch (for tiny animals such as mice dip the end of one
toothpick-full) of BP in their food. Hold this dosage for 3-5 days and if there
is no adverse reactions (such as excessive detoxing), then gradually increase to
1/4 to 1/2 capsule per day depending on age, health condition and results.
BIRDS
Lightly sprinkle the algae powder on their food. Some birds have been reported
to pick out the green algae specks because they instinctually know the algae is
good for them.
AQUATIC ANIMALS—fish, frogs, turtles
Sprinkle the algae powder in the water.

BioPreparation is not a people product with a
smaller dosage and added liver flavoring for pets. BioPreparation is not a conglomeration
of isolated vitamins, extracted ingredients, concentrated herbs and nutrients
bound together and compressed with fillers in a pill. BioPreparation is a whole food product containing just
two algae, two Spirulinas and nothing else. Remember,
algae is native to
all animal's and people's diet
(i.e., sacred foods) in the wild. The manufacturer used extensive research
to customize BioPreparation for maximum bioavailability and usability in all
animals. The following customize processes are used to make
BioPreparation for animals:
BioPreparation is freeze-dried at a lower temperature than BioSuperfood
breaking it down for better assimilation in animals,
since the digestive tract of carnivores (dogs and cats) is shorter
than
humans
BioPreparation is produced in a finer powder for faster assimilation by
animals
We know this works because of the fast results reported
by our clients. Within one to four weeks some customers note their animal's
coat has gotten silkier and shinier
(from the Omega oils—no need for salmon and other oils). A
mast cell cancer tumor disappeared on a dog's paw within ten weeks using
only one pinch to 1.5 capsules per day (Cancer
Results).
Technically, there is no reason why people cannot take
BioPreparation and pets cannot take BioSuperfood. Both products have the same
four ingredients. After 20 years of dedicated animal research, Dr. Kiriac has
made BioPreparation more therapeutic and more quickly absorbed than
BioSuperfood but this also means it is slightly more expensive per capsule than
BioSuperfood. For that reason, most people choose to take BioSuperfood because
it is more economical. We have some people who do take BioPreparation because
they 'feel' more results. We have some pets (especially cats and giant breed dogs)
that are reported do better on BioSuperfood because of its slower absorption
rate.
We let each individual determine what is best for their body and their animals
according to the results they achieve.
E-mail or call us if you have
any questions regarding which product or formula to use.
Here are some hints we've accumulated on opening up the
capsules to sprinkle the algae powder on
pet's food:
1. Make sure you hands are clean and DRY. Twist the two halves of the capsule to
break the heat seal.
2. Gently separate the two halves of the capsule by tilting the closed end of
the capsule downward.
3. Now rotate one of the capsule halves 1/4 turn until just a pinch of algae
powder falls out.
4. Gently put the two halves of the capsule back together.
5. Store the partially used capsule in a candy dish, bottle cap or pill
container.
6. If some of the algae powder sticks to an 'empty' capsule, leave the two
halves of the capsule together but leave the whole capsule out on the counter
for at least 24 hours. After 24 hours, open up the two halves of the capsule and
shake them pointing together downward to release the remaining powder in the
capsules.
BioPreparation/BioSuperfood do not have to be refrigerated due to the superior
freeze-drying technology used. Do not store BioPreparation/BioSuperfood near any
heat source (e.g., stove, oven, heater vent), microwave oven, computer monitor,
TV or in direct sunlight.
