Why Algae Now?

From Catharine Arnston, Founder of ENERGYbits®

When my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer, her oncologist told her to follow an alkaline diet to help her heal. I wanted to help, so I dove into researching alkaline foods — and that’s when I discovered algae.

What I found changed my life. Spirulina and chlorella aren’t just “supplements.” They’re whole foods. They’ve been nourishing civilizations for centuries, fueling astronauts in space, and recommended by the United Nations as the most nutrient-dense food on earth. And yet, almost no one knew about them.

That’s when I knew I had to share algae with the world.

A Food with Deep Roots

Spirulina was cherished by the Aztecs for strength and endurance. Chlorella was studied after World War II as a way to fight global hunger. NASA and the UN have validated algae as the ultimate survival food. In Asia, millions have used it daily for over 50 years for energy, longevity, and wellness.

Algae is not new. It’s the oldest, most nutrient-dense food on earth. What’s new is the urgency to bring it back into our modern diets.

Why Now?

Our world is facing challenges algae can solve:

  • Health: Fatigue, brain fog, and chronic illness are rising. Algae gives your body the cellular nutrition it craves.
  • Nutrition: Soil depletion has stripped fruits and vegetables of their minerals. Algae restores what our diets are missing.
  • Planet: Algae is the most sustainable food crop on earth — using almost no water, no chemicals, and helping clean the environment as it grows.

Now more than ever, we need solutions that restore both human health and the planet’s health. Algae does both.

Two Algae. Two Superpowers.

  • Spirulina (ENERGYbits®): Protein-rich fuel for your brain and body. It boosts energy, focus, and endurance — without sugar, caffeine, or chemicals.
  • Chlorella (RECOVERYbits®): The ultimate detoxifier. It binds to toxins, supports immunity, and helps your cells repair and recover.

When you take both, you’re giving your body exactly what it needs to thrive — clean, safe, plant-based nutrition that works at the cellular level.

The Time is Now

For decades, algae has quietly powered communities, athletes, and even astronauts. Now it’s time for algae to power you.

Algae isn’t a trend. It’s the answer to our health, our nutrition, and our planet’s sustainability. That’s why I started ENERGYbits — to make this extraordinary food easy to take and easy to share.

Because the world needs algae now. And so do you.
