The genius, science, and secrets of biohacking with algae
“How many people take either spirulina or chlorella regularly now? And how many had heard about spirulina or chlorella before today or yesterday? It's so well known in Asia and used virtually every day by people in Japan and it's been sold in America for 50 years but no one has ever explained what it is or why it works so that's what I'm hoping to do today but I have packed 12 years of research into 45 minutes.
What is Algae?
The most fundamental, foundational Biohacking Food for improved health, longevity, brain, body, beauty. It also improves and deepens all benefits from all other biohacks. The science and benefits of algae have been known in Asia for 75 years but are still virtually unknown here.”
Algae Improves:
- Brain Health
- Physical Health
- Skin Health
- Cell & Mitochondria Health
- Nutrition
- Longevity
- Performance
- Cryotherapy
- Light Therapy
- Sleep & Elimination
- Intermittent Fasting
“Endorsed by NASA as the most nutritionally dense food in the world (1,000 x more nutrients than any other food). Endorsed by the United Nations as the highest protein in the world (3 x steak).
Algae is the most sustainable food in the world (200 x more protein/ acre than cattle with zero-waste. Endorsed by Netflix movie Seaspiracy. If you haven't seen the Netflix movie "Conspiracy" I encourage you to watch it. Even they endorse algae as the answer to saving ocean life.”
“Algae is not a supplement, it's a dried vegetable. It's a type of vegetable. Not quite a vegetable but it's in that category and it's been as I say well used. What is algae? Its own food category there's macroalgae and microalgae. We're going to talk about microalgae but let me tell you what macroalgae is. First, things like seaweed stuff that washes up on shore high in fiber and iodine because it comes from the ocean. We're talking about microalgae because it is microscopic, something like a million of these cells would fit on the head of a pin so you can't even see it, but it's everywhere. In this, the ocean, the lakes, the streams, the soils but we're talking about today are the two that are grown and harvested as food crops spirulina and chlorella.”
“Spirulina is one form of blue-green algae. There are tens of thousands of blue-green algae so when you go on the Internet and you read about some toxic bloom of blue-green algae it's not spirulina. Spirulina is harvested as a crop. It's just some other form of blue-green algae. Algae only show up when toxins and bacteria have already shown up. Algae is the cleanup crew they only show up and, you probably don't know this, but algae are used in every single water treatment plant in the country, probably in the world. Because it kills bacteria so when you see algae in the ocean it's only there to help clean up the mess of the run the toxics. “
“Spirulina, blue-green algae, is known for being energizing; it energizes your body and your mind. Spirulina has the highest protein in the world (3 x steak), high antioxidants, Omega-3, forty vitamins and minerals that work synergistically to improve hunger, energy, focus, skin/ hair health, sports, and nutrition. Spirulina is so nutrient-dense, it can replace fish oil, collagen, supplements, snacks, protein, and sports fuel.
Chlorella is a green algae. It will not satisfy your hunger and will not give you energy it is a health and wellness algae. It has the highest concentration of chlorophyll in the world and a hard cell wall. Chlorella has the highest chlorophyll in the world, highest RNA/DNA, forty vitamins/minerals, Chlorella removes toxins and heavy metals, builds the immune system, improves gut health and digestion, speeds sports recovery, and boosts longevity. Chlorella has so much chlorophyll it can replace vegetables, greens, and other supplements.”
Why Bits?
“We refer to our microalgae tablets as “bits®” because they are nutritionally dense “bits of food” with one ingredient- algae.
Each of our algae tablets (bits®) contains:
- high chlorophyll (500 x arugula)
- high protein (3 x steak)
- high antioxidants (40 x broccoli)
- high iron (48 x spinach)
- high beta carotene (20 x carrots)
- high vitamins and minerals (40+)
- same nutrition as a full plate of vegetables
Our algae tablets (bits®) may look like supplements, but they aren’t. Supplements are NOT FOOD. Supplements are composed of multiple artificial ingredients/extracts, processed with high heat, made in factories, poorly absorbed and 90% ineffective. Algae is FOOD. Algae is a type of vegetable with one ingredient that is grown hydroponically (in fresh water). Algae tablets are unprocessed “bits of food” pressed into tiny tablets you chew, swallow, add to smoothies, trail mix or salads. Unlike supplements, the dense nutrition in algae tablets is 99% absorbed, 99% bioavailable and 99% effective.”
“Algae is the most scientifically documented food in the world. Almost 100,000 scientific studies are documenting the biohacking benefits of algae. Algae is scientifically proven to improve wellness, energy, nutrition, detox, beauty, immune health, longevity, and reduce inflammation or disease.”
Spirulina Algae
Spirulina improves energy, focus, hunger, skin, and boosts overall physical and mental performance:
- Alkaline pH builds blood and facilitates cellular health
- High Protein (64%) rebuilds muscle and improves performance
- Nourishes body with 40+ plant nutrients, antioxidants, vitamins/minerals
- EFA’s Omega-3, GLA repair cellular walls and cell health
- High antioxidants reduces free radicles and oxidative damage
- High iron (non-heme) improves oxygenation and energy without stimulating stimulating the mTOR pathway. Iron also helps reduce anemia
- Improves hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, and pulmonary disease
- Decreases liver enzymes and improves bone health
- Improves skin’s radiance with anti-aging properties
Spirulina is a blue-green algae and a blue pigment is called phycocyanin. Phycocyanin is the water-soluble blue pigment in spirulina with extensive health benefits:
- Improves levels of blood lipids, suppresses oxidation, reduces blood pressure, and lowers blood sugar
- Stops the development of “abnormal” cells and prevents breakage of DNA strands to promote and improve cellular repair.
- Contributes to the normal production of red blood cells, responsible for the transportation of oxygen within our bodies
- Provides high antioxidants, fights free radicals, and has powerful anti-inflammatory effects that improve mitochondria & cellular health
- Phycocyanin has been proven to have anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, and anti-oxidant benefits
Spirulina and phycocyanin have been shown to benefit people with type 2 diabetes, significantly reducing fasting blood sugar levels. Spirulina also lowers triglycerides and the “bad” cholesterol LDL.
Chlorella Algae
"Chlorella strengthens the immune system, removes toxins, improves sleep, digestion, longevity, and sports recovery.
Chlorella’s hard cell wall attaches to heavy metals, solvents, pesticides & toxins and removes them safely from the body source. Chlorella’s high chlorophyll strengthens the lymphatic system and immune system to facilitate health and longevity. Chlorella’s high RNA/DNA improves cellular renewal, growth, and repair. As we age, RNA/DNA become damaged & weak. Chlorella can help prevent this. Algae helps heal cell walls, strengthen mitochondria and improve cellular pH. When cells and mitochondria fill up with toxins, they become acidic which leads to aging and disease. Chlorella can help prevent this.
Chlorella has the highest RNA/DNA in the world (17x more than sardines) This is one of the many reasons it improves longevity. Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) can help reverse cellular damage and improve longevity. CGF has also been shown to improve resistance to abdominal tumors and increase the number of immune cells. Regular use of chlorella helps prevent heart disease, high blood pressure, and serum cholesterol levels As we age, our mitochondria become damaged which leads to fatigue, and disease can help prevent it."
Chlorophyll is the fat-based pigment in chlorella and its extensive health benefits are well documented in science.
- Chlorella has the highest concentration of chlorophyll in the world and up to 1,000 times more than greens and is nature’s most potent detoxifier
- Chlorophyll is a fat-based pigment/antioxidant that cleans and strengthens cells walls so nutrients can easily flow in and toxins can flow out.
- Chlorophyll oxygenates the and stops free radical damage
- Chlorophyll strengthens the lymphatic system and immune system to facilitate health and longevity
- Chlorophyll optimizes liver function, reduces body-wide inflammation, and nourishes the gut microbiome with good bacteria & fiber.
- Chlorella removes heavy metals, solvents, pesticides & toxins
- Chlorophyll reduces high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease
- All these processes/benefits are amplified when taken before cryotherapy
Algae has the highest chlorophyll in the world:
- 1000 x more chlorophyll than Chinese greens
- 500x more chlorophyll than arugula
- 25 x more chlorophyll than liquid chlorophyll
"Chlorophyll and red blood cells (hemoglobin) are virtually identical. That’s one of the reasons why chlorophyll provides you with optimal health and longevity. Algae has the highest protein in the world and has 3 x more protein than steak or fish. The protein in algae is made of single amino acids which can be easily and readily absorbed. This contrasts with animal protein which can take up to 3 days to be absorbed or collagen protein which is in the form of peptides (groups of aminos). Algae is a complete protein with 18 of the 20 aminos including all 9 essential aminos your body can’t make. Algae protein is sustainable and eco-friendly so it protects the environment (land, ocean, lake, air) while it protects your health.
The only source of protein that provides your skin and body with all individual amino acids is Algae. They're vital for functions such as protein synthesis, tissue repair, synthesis of hormones/neurotransmitters, and nutrient absorption.
Algae’s protein is more bioavailable to your body and allows it to be absorbed quicker, work faster, and provide better results. Algae is also the preferred source of protein since it’s a vegan, sustainable crop and the other two sources of protein are not (collagen powder is made from ground-up animal bones)."
Algae has up to 430% more amino acids! Reasons why algae tablets are more effective than collagen powder:
- Algae tablets contain more protein than collagen powder (up to 430% more essential amino acids)
- Algae tablets offer all the same benefits for skin, joints, bones, and gut health
- Algae is a complete protein (collagen powder isn’t)
- Algae is sustainable (collagen powder isn’t)
- Algae has chlorophyll, forty vitamins, and minerals including iron, beta carotene (collagen powder doesn’t).
- ENERGYbits® algae tablets are not exposed to high heat (collagen powder and other algae tablet brands are)
