Not fish food but brain food and gut food. That’s how you should understand algae. I was blown away by the research on algae and its most powerful component superoxide dismutase. From MS to Alzheimer’s and PTSD, the super nutrient profile of spiralina and chlorella is an energy and mental performance game-changer that costs less than $1 a day. Join me and Catharine Arnston in this empowering algae educational masterclass.  

Catharine Arnston founded ENERGYbits® after discovering the extraordinary health benefits of algae while researching ways to support her sister’s recovery from breast cancer. She learned that algae is the most nutrient-dense, plant-based, and alkaline food on the planet—packed with 64% protein, 40 vitamins and minerals, and backed by over 100,000 scientific studies, as well as endorsements from NASA and the United Nations. Despite its long history of use in Asia, algae remained virtually unknown in the West, which inspired Catharine to spend a decade building ENERGYbits® into a trusted, national brand. Today, her company offers pure, toxin-free, Non-GMO algae tablets that support energy, satiety, and nutrition in a sustainable, eco-friendly form.

Join us as we explore:

  • Everything algae - it’s unique evolutionary history, why Cathrine calls it “spirit-lina”, its nutritional and disease fighting profile and why it’s an energy and cognitive performance game-changer for anyone older than 40. 
  • How algae works as an ATP catalyst, boosts the most powerful antioxidant superoxide dismutase and keeps you younger for longer.
  • What sets ENERGYbits apart from other algae products, why to choose the blue one (chlorella) or the green one (spirulina) and why professional athletes are using up to 75 tablets pre-game for maximum energy and focus.
  • Incredible algae studies - MS tremors disappear, 50% HRV increase, mitochondria maximization and miraculous brain healing.
