Detailed List of Major Nutrients in BioSuperfood
Following is a list of the major nutrients in BioSuperfood - those that are the most commonly tested nutrients in laboratories.
"Looking at the nutrients that BioSuperfood provides, a well-informed nutritionist can only stare in awe: these are ALL of the nutrients needed by every human body, in near-perfect ratios! It is almost as if Mother Nature herself reached down from the heavens and said, “Here is the perfect food for all human beings…” and gave us micro-algae. They are that impressive." Dr Roland Thomas, NMD

*The ORAC analysis provides a measure of the scavenging capacity of antioxidants against the peroxyl radical, which is one of the most common reactive oxygen species (ROS) found in the body. ORAChydro reflects water-soluble antioxidant capacity and the ^ ORAClipo is the lipid soluble antioxidant capacity. Trolox, a water-soluble Vitamin E analog, is used as the calibration standard and the ORAC result is expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent (TE) per gram.
