One of the most common questions is whether one still needs to take isolated supplements in addition to these whole superfood products, BioSuperfood and BioPreparation. Before answering this question, let us discuss one big difference between getting whole food nutrition and supplementing the symptoms with isolated supplements. Supplement research shows the following :

1. Absorption and utilization of nutrients from isolated supplements is only 20-25%.

2. Absorption and utilization of nutrients from a whole food is 90-95%.

This means one may be flushing down the toilet the other 65-75% of isolated supplement benefits (and your money). For more details on this “wholistic” concept, go to the following web pages:

• Whole Food Products vs. Supplements

The answer to the question, Do I still need supplements?, all depends on one’s wellness goals, health history and individual circumstances. Here are some scenarios to help you determine what is best for you and your family (including furry children).

1. One already has a lab test confirming or exhibits symptoms of a nutrient deficiency. The cause may be genetic or a dietary deficiency, so one is already taking an isolated supplement to alleviate the symptoms. In this case, we suggest ramping up BioSuperfood or BioPreparation to an advanced level where one sees significant benefit in the symptoms. Then, with the advice of your doctor or healthcare practitioner, slowly decrease the isolated supplement to see if the body can stand on its own with the whole food nutrition supplied by BioSuperfood and BioPreparation. If the symptoms return, then one still does need the isolated supplement. If symptoms do not return, then the whole food product may be enough.

2. One eats SAD (Standard American Diet) food: processed and packaged foods, white flour, white sugar, corn, soy, soda pop (diet or regular), fried foods, fast foods, etc. We suggest introducing BioSuperfood-f2, the general nutrition formula, slowly and increasing up to a level where one feels good. If one has no symptoms, no genetic pre-disposition to disease and is not of senior age, then BioSuperfood-f2 will probably supply enough whole food nutrition without isolated supplements. If one still has a lack of energy, feels tired all the time, gets seasonal allergies or colds, then one still might need isolated supplements to plug the nutrient deficiencies or the advanced formula, BioSuperfood-f3, with the most antioxidants (super nutrition for the brain).

3. If one does eat SAD (Standard American Diet) food and one does have symptoms, there is a family history of disease and/or one is of senior age, then we suggest starting with the advanced formula with the most antioxidants, BioSuperfood-f3. If all symptoms resolve themselves, then one can consider reducing the amount to a maintenance level. If the body still is without symptoms, then one may consider reducing or eliminating any isolated supplements.

4. One eats fresh fruits and vegetables, pastured meats, cooks from scratch, eats food from a garden or organically grown produce and has no symptoms, then the general nutrition formula, BioSuperfood-f2, might be all one needs with no isolated supplements. If one wanted to be proactive against the conditions listed in “C” above, then one could take a combination of BioSuperfood-f2 for health maintenance and BioSuperfood-f3 for advanced “wholistic” benefits.

5. If one has symptoms and one has been eating a nutrient deficient diet for 20+ years and only changed to a better diet in the last 5 years. One cannot expect to make up for this deficiency by taking BioSuperfood or BioPreparation for just a few months. It will take more time to determine if isolated supplements are still needed depending on the efficiency of one’s body.

6. One has a genetic component preventing proper absorption of a nutrient, then one may need isolated supplements for life.

7. If one has severe symptoms and is already taking an isolated supplement or drug to compensate and be functional, then BioSuperfood’s or BioPreparation's whole food nutrition may simply not be enough.

If one is healthy, without any symptoms and takes no isolated supplements, does one need to take our whole superfood products?  It all depends on one’s health goals. With the radiation in the Pacific Ocean from the Japanese reactor accident, the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the spread of the Ebola virus and other recent declining health trends, we suggest being proactive by taking some BioSuperfood-f3 to “wholistically” balance the body and keep the body's natural ability to heal at optimum efficiency.

It is impossible to cover every single health scenario. If you still have questions, have a complex situation, such as an auto-immune condition, multiple glandular imbalances or a chronic condition that just will not go away no matter what supplement(s) you tried, we would be happy to conduct a wholistic coaching session for you. Since our whole superfood products do not act like supplements, those who take advantage of our 90+ years of "wholistic" expertise often get faster and better results. Go to Holistic Consultations.
