Deep dives

The Origin of Energy Bits

The development of Energy Bits began 15 years ago when Katherine Arnston's sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. At the advice of her oncologist, she changed her diet to an alkaline, plant-based regimen, leading Arnston to discover the exceptional health benefits of algae, particularly spirulina and chlorella. She recognized the lack of awareness surrounding algae's potent healing properties in Western cultures despite its multi-billion dollar status in Asia, where it is widely consumed for health benefits. This prompted her to create Energy Bits, aiming to provide a clean, science-backed product that could help restore and maintain health for a broader audience.
