Nutritionists
think they've got it all figured out. They tell
you to take this vitamin and that vitamin, and they tell you to make sure you
take your antioxidants to sop up free radicals (usually without knowing what free
radicals really are). How do they know what you should
take? How do they know how much you should take? Simple!
They feed various nutrients to cultured cells and see if they continue to multiply,
or they conduct studies with animals or small numbers of humans. The
trouble is, you and I are more than just cells in a dish. Biological systems are
incredibly complex and figuring out which particular blends of vitamins, minerals,
and antioxidants would require controlled studies on hundreds if not thousands
of humans (not lab animals) who were kept locked up for years and ate only what
was fed to them. It's hardly practical. Regardless,
nutritionists make these blanket recommendations about nutrition and when some
study comes out that indicates high doses of certain antioxidants like Vitamins
A and E actually cause cancer instead of prevent it, they hem and haw, point to
the door and say something like, "Hey, isn't that Bradgelina?" When
you turn to look, they run out the door. Come to think
of it, the whole thing would make a pretty good commercial for Southwest Airlines
"Wanna Get Away?" program. Let me show you
a quick example. Take a look at the following list of chemicals, all antioxidants: 4-Terpineol,
alanine, anethole, apigenin, ascorbic acid, beta carotene, caffeic acid, camphene,
carvacrol, chlorogenic acid, chrysoeriol, eriodictyol, eugenol, ferulic acid,
gallic acid, gamma-terpinene isocholorgenic acid, isoeugenol, isothymonin, kaempferol,
labiatic acid, lauric acid, linalyl acetate, luteolin, methionine, myrcene, myristic
acid, naringenin, oleanolic acid, p-coumoric acid, p-hydroxy-benzoic acid, palmitic
acid, rosmarinic acid, selenium, tannin, thymol, tryptophan, ursolic acid, vanillic
acid. That's not the label of the new vitamin from
the One-A-Day people. Rather, they're the antioxidants found in a sprig of thyme,
which is the spice your momma sprinkles on meatloaf. Kinda'
complex, huh? Yet garden-variety nutritionists prefer
to study only a select number of antioxidants and make blanket recommendations. How
do they know there aren't complex interactions between them and other chemicals
or nutrients? How do they know the healthful benefits of any particular antioxidant
don't depend on being simultaneously ingested with one, two, three, or thirty
different antioxidants or phytochemicals? They don't,
bubba, they don't.
I'll confess that we at Biotest
wrestled with the issue for years. We knew that a good vitamin-mineral complex
would sell well, but couldn't in good conscience invent anything we didn't want
to use ourselves. Neither has anyone else in the entire world invented a powder,
pill, tablet, or capsule we feel good about. You might
be surprised to hear this, but we're not aware of anyone in the Biotest family
that takes a multivitamin. None of us believe in them. The science is too haphazard. As
such we've always preferred to get our vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and various
phytochemicals from fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, you know as well as
we do that it's hard to ingest anywhere near the proper amounts of fruits and
vegetables every day. Who's got time to eat 4 servings of fruits and 4 servings
of vegetables every single day? 
Most people are lucky if they can choke down a serving
of broccoli or spinach a week. Furthermore, the quality
of soil varies enormously from farm to farm, and so does, accordingly, the nutritional
content of the fruit and vegetables that are grown in that soil. We're
incredibly proud to tell you that we've got it figured out. Enter
Biotest's Superfood. 
We discarded the notion of coming out with a vitamin
pill composed of conventional, lab manufactured vitamins and minerals. Instead,
we've chosen the whole-food route.
What we've done is taken 18
incredibly potent, freeze-dried super extracts of WHOLE fruits and vegetables
and combined them in what we believe is the perfect superfood. We chose each for
their almost drug-like properties, and put them together in one incredibly potent,
incredibly concentrated, incredibly easy-to-use powdered supplement. No
fillers, no extra flavoring agents, no sweeteners, nothing extra — just pure
superfood. Take a look at the ingredients first and
then I'll tell you why we chose them and what exactly we did with them:
Wild
Blueberry (1.5% anthocyanin) Raspberry
(20% allagic acid, 0.7% anthocyanins) Strawberry Acai
Berry (1.5% total phenolic acids, 1% anthocyanins) Coffee
Berry (50% total phenolic acids) Goji
Berry Pomegranate (40%
ellagic acid)
Broccoli
Sprout (5000 ppm sulforophane) Kale Spinach
(700 ppm lutein) Wasabi
(20% glucosinolates) Wild
Yam (20% diosgenin) Green
Tea (95% total polyphenols, 65% total catechins, 40% EGCG)
OTHER FRUITS
Apple Orange
(40% vitamin C) Mango Passion
fruit Watermelon (1000
ppm lycopene)
While
you're no doubt familiar with many of these fruits and vegetables, some might
be a mystery. We based our choices on a number of factors:
•
A broad spectrum of carotenoids and phytochemicals, including the prostate protective
lycopene and the vision protective lutein. •
Vegetables that contain estrogen-fighting indoles. •
Vegetables that have potent cancer-fighting ability. •
The major factor in many of our choices, however, was their incredibly powerful
antioxidant capabilities as measured by something called the ORAC scale.
The
ORAC scale is a standardized test used by the USDA to measure the Total Antioxidant
Potency of foods and nutritional supplements. The ORAC provides a precise way
of measuring the power of specific foods or supplements to neutralize free radicals
in the body. The term stands for "Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, and
the measurement is expressed as ORAC units per 100 grams of a given compound. For
instance, the USDA determined an "average serving of fruits AND vegetables"
has an ORAC rating of between 400 and 500. As you might
guess, all fruits and vegetables aren't created equal. Some, like coffee berry,
acai berry, and goji berry, while not exactly household commodities, are off the
chart on the ORAC scale. So just what is the ORAC rating
of just 5 grams (about 1 teaspoon) of Biotest's Superfood? Are you sitting down? 5,315. That
means that just ONE TEASPOON of Biotest's Superfood is equivalent to eating between
10 and 12 average servings of fruits and vegetables! 
I
know, you're skeptical. How can one teaspoon be equivalent to that many servings
of fruits and vegetables? Actually, it's not implausible
at all. Each of the ingredients in Biotest's Superfood is freeze dried. Freeze
drying is a process by which nothing but the water is removed from the fruits
and vegetables. Each product is individually quick frozen so all water turns to
solid ice. It's then subjected to warm temperature and a vacuum so that the water
turns to vapor and is essentially sucked out of the fruit or vegetable, leaving
everything intact. That means the pigments and phytochemicals
have been well preserved. The product retains the identical phytochemical content,
enzymatic activity, and bioactivity of fresh products. Furthermore, freeze-dried
products have the longest ambient shelf life of any known drying process. 
But what's equally important is what Biotest's Superfood
product doesn't contain: •
No added sweetener, natural or artificial •
No food coloring •
No added flavoring •
No allergy-inducing grasses •
No Testosterone-lowering herbs (ie, licorice and bilberry) •
No seaweed, algae, or other faddish ingredients •
No added chemicals of any kind, just organically grown berries, fruits, and vegetables
from 1,000 acres of privately owned land. In
fact, you'll find nothing in Superfood but sweet, fresh, nutrient-laden fruits
and vegetables!
Because
we didn't add in flavoring or sweetening agents, maybe you're thinking that the
product tastes like grass clippings. Relax. Superfood tastes like a mild berry
tea; there's no need to mask the flavor. In fact, many
of us at Biotest just put a teaspoon of the product (about 5 grams) into a glass
of water and drink it down. However, you can just as easily put it in a protein
shake, glass of juice, or even on your food; it's that easy. While
Superfood is incredibly valuable all on its own in ensuring your health and longevity,
we recommend throwing a teaspoon of it into your post-workout drink as that's
likely the time when you need the most anti-oxidant protection. Otherwise,
use it as you might have once used those obsolete vitamin and mineral tablets:
one teaspoon with breakfast or at bedtime. 
One
more thing, just for you skeptics: you're probably wondering why someone hasn't
done this before. Simple. Expense. How
much? Let's put it this way, if Biotest were to sell Superfood to retailers who'd
then apply their own mark-up, a month's supply of Superfood would likely cost
about a 150 dollars! However, given that Superfood
will be available only through the Biotest website, we sell direct to you, the
customer. That's why it's possible for us to sell Superfood for the low price
of $79.95! Think about how much it would cost you to
buy 10 to 12 servings of vegetables at the store every day. Think of the time
it would take to prepare 10 to 12 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Think
of the gas . . . gastric upset from ingesting 10 to 12 servings of fruits and
vegetables a day. If you take all that into consideration,
it's easy to see that the price of Superfood is a tremendous value.
On
a personal note, this stuff has changed my life. The rest of my diet was spot
on. I ate the proper amount of meals a day; I ate the proper amount of protein
each day; I monitored my carbohydrate intake to match my particular goals, but
I was woefully lacking in the "health" department. I
didn't like many vegetables. I found eating fruit a pain, not to mention messy.
Beyond that, every time I did get the gumption to steam some vegetables, I limited
myself to the two or three I found palatable. Despite my professed wisdom, I was
no doubt woefully lacking in scores of vitamins, minerals, and specific phytonutrients.
I was no doubt ravaged by free radicals. My muscle-building ability, not to mention
my overall health, was no doubt compromised. No more.
We nailed the vitamin and mineral thing. With Biotest's
Superfood, we've figured out the last piece of the nutritional puzzle.
Unfortunately,
the strength of Superfood is also its weakness. Superfood
is a highly innovative, exotic, one-of-a-kind blend of 18 berries, fruits, and
vegetables. Nothing else like it exists. Nothing about it is "off the shelf."
It's very potent and highly effective at delivering a gigantic profile of nutrients
that would take decades to begin to understand and a book to fully describe —
all naturally occurring from plants. So, what's the
catch? You can't simply just make more. You have to
grow more. This means that we will undoubtedly run
out. We are doing everything we can to make sure we catch up with and meet the
inevitable tsunami-like demand. Still — mark my words — Biotest's Superfood
will be on backorder a few times until we get all the supply issues under control. So,
if you want our Superfood, I suggest you get your supply now, and purchase a three-month
supply (about three bottles). Otherwise, you might
find yourself missing out.
