Occassionally we are temporarily out of stock of certain items. If we have new stock on the way or about to be added in the next week or so, we may make that product available for order as a “back order”. When placing a back-order the payment will be finalised once we release it from back-order and process your order for shipping.

Being a small family business we don’t carry large amounts of stock on certain items. The stock we have on hand can sell out fast. We encourage you to place a back-order if you want an item that is available that way. This will ensure you get your order before other customers place new orders on the new stock (once it is available). Essentially, all back-orders end up at the front of the order processing queue.

Alternatively, add your email address to the Waitlist, and you will be notified as soonn as new stock is available.

If an item is out of stock you have the option to add your email address to a waitlist. You will receive an email as soon as new stock is added.

Please note, we do not use these email addresses for any other purpose. In fact, we don’t even both to look at those addresses, as the wait-list system is fully automated. Once your stock update has been sent to you, your email address is removed from the wait-list and will not be emailed again for that purpose. Of course, if you provide your email to us by other means (by joining our subscriber list, or placing and order, etc.) you will continue to receive whatever emails you receive through those channels.

Your total satisfaction is our priority. We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Please refer to our Returns Policy for full details.

Suggested dose (when using bulk powder from Inspired Nutritionals):

Adults

For general health maintenance: 1/2 teaspoon (about 3 grams) per day.
For heavy metal chelation: 1 teaspoon (about 6 grams) per day for at least four months.
For cancer: as directed by your physician (usually 3 to 6 grams per day in divided doses).

Children

For general health maintenance: 1 – 2 grams per day

Yes, you can for example blend it with juice, freshly squeezed lemon, or mix it in your smoothie. For people who find the taste of BIOFILAM challenging, mixing it into a smoothie is a great way to mask the taste.

Put the intended amount (such as 1/2 to 1 teaspoon) of BIOFILAM in a standard 8 oz/250 ml glass with a little bit of water while stirring to avoid lumps. Then, whilst continuing to stir, fill up the glass with water to preferred consistency. Drink it shortly after mixing it otherwise it will become very thick. Drink another glass of water to help your system make best use of the BIOFILAM. We recommend using non-chlorinated and non-fluoridated water.

It is true that for some people the taste and/or texture of BIOFILAM (mixed in water) will be unpalatable. I have come across just three people who found they simply couldn’t eat it this way, and who had to revert to using it in capsules. What they did was buy empty #00 capsules, and fill the capsules themselves. Everyone else I have supplied bulk BIOFILAM powder to found it quite okay to drink.

Personally, I enjoy it. But then I happen to love sea vegetables and I include a lot of them in my diet. I realise many people may have never eaten a sea vegetable (commonly referred to as “seaweeds”) in their life, or have perhaps only had nori which is wrapped around sushi nori rolls. Therefore, if you are not certain you’ll be happy with the powder, it is important you first determine whether you can pallet it.

Please consult your physician or health practitioner.

We know of no common contraindications, except in some rare cases of improper iodine assimilation. It’s also important to note that it’s important to have sufficient selenium in your diet for propery iodine metabolism. This is typically in the range of 150 to 300 micrograms per day.

Having said that, please note the prevailing western medical belief is that pregnant woman (and in fact all human beings) should avoid ingesting foods with higher than usual levels of iodine. Obviously that’s in contradiction to the fact the average person in Japan ingests significantly more iodine in their diet than what the western medical establishment believes is “safe”. In Japan it is common to eat significant amounts of Kombu (the sea vegetable BIOFILAM is made from) every day. 

I (Jonathan) don’t personally agree with the belief higher than RDA levels of iodine ingestion are toxic for the vast majority of people, under the right circumstances. It is well known that low maternal iodine levels can have a detrimental effect on fetal development, and may reduce the IQ of the child. ^[1]Association of Maternal Iodine Status With Child IQ^[2]Higher iodine intake in the mother during pregnancy is associated with higher child IQ

Obviously, this is a delicate and important matter so we always suggest consulting with your health care practitioner if you are not 100% certain of the most accurate answer to this question in relation to you and your body.

Biofilam consists of organic iodine that feeds the thyroid gland, promoting normal metabolism and glandular function.

We highly recommend researching the studies, work and literature of Dr. Brownstein, Dr. Guy Abraham, M.D., and other practitioners of “high dose iodine therapy”. Here are some useful references: ^[3]Iodine: The Revival of a Mineral^[4]The Safe and Effective Implementation of Orthoiodosupplementation In Medical Practice^[5]The Historical Background of the Iodine Project

The question of iodine and human health is a highly contentious and debatable one. Most western medical doctors are trained that iodine is harmful when ingested in quantities significantly in excess of the RDA (recommended daily allowance), which is currently 150 μg/day (micrograms/day), or some doctors believe it is likely okay up to the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL), which in many western countries is 1,100 μg/day (1.1 mg/day) for adults.

This, of course, is contradicted by the fact the average person in Japan ingests around 10 times the western RDA — around 1.2mg / day^[6]The average of dietary iodine intake due to the ingestion of seaweeds is 1.2 mg/day in Japan^[7]Assessment of Japanese iodine intake based on seaweed consumption in Japan: A literature-based analysis. In Japan the safe upper limit is believed to be 3 mg/day (3000 μg/day), as  set by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in Japan.

It is important to note that the body needs adequate selenium in the diet to safely motabalise dietary iodine. The recommend levels of dietary selenium range from around 150 to 300 μg/day.

If you are unsure about ingesting a dietary supplement (such as BIOFILAM) that contains iodine, I suggest you consult with your health practitioner.

Be aware that most Western doctors are likely to tell you it’s not safe to use BIOFILAM or to eat much in the way of kelp and other brown seaweeds. My personal opinion (based on expeirence and research into the available literature) is that this belief is not accurate, under most circumstances. But that’s only my opinion. I am not providing any advice on what constitues a healthy iodine intake. My opinion is being shared for educational purposes only.

BIOFILAM is can be beneficial in both cases. Please refer to the question above, related to iodine.

If you are uncertain about ingesting a high-iodine food in relation to your hypo- or hype-rthyroid condition, and you don’t feel comfortable doing the necessary research yourself, I suggest you consult with your health practitioner.

No, it’s a whole food. BIOFILAM is a concentrated kelp extract. A 5 gram / teasspoon of BIOFILAM power teaspoon is equivalent of eating 225 gram (almost a 1/4 kg) of raw seaweed.
