More Information

SKINNYbits® algae tabs are 64% protein. Algae has the highest concentration of protein of any food on the planet. Nothing is higher. And why do you need protein? To build your strength and  satisfy your hunger for long periods of time. This is critical for all dancers. You need energy that doesn’t burden your body (animal protein typically takes hours or days to digest) and doesn’t load it up with toxic chemicals like energy drinks (which are 99% chemicals and caffeine ). Protein is critical for everyone but particularly for dancers  who tend to be practicing or on road performing non stop for long stretches at a time. Algae is the answer.

Our algae tabs are over 60% protein (three times that of steak) and since our travel tins easily slip into your hand, tights or shorts, you can be refreshed and renewed any time of day, whether you’re leaping across the stage or hunkered down in the dance studio  You can’t stuff a piece of steak into your jeans back pocket like you can our little travel tins!   Even better, our SKINNYbits®  algae tabs are 100% spirulina which naturally release nitric oxide into your body and open up your blood vessels. This allows all their protein and nutrition to turbo charge their way into your brain and body. Sort of like driving a Ferrari down the Autobahn.

SKINNYbits®  algae tabs have virtually no calories. With no sugar or any artificial ingredients, your body can continue burning fat even after you’ve finished your routine, practice or performance. Each tab is loaded with 40 vitamins and minerals but just ONE calorie so there are no unnecessary calories – just pure nutrition and protein. Since they are so tiny (about the size of a tic tac®), they make you feel satisfied and full, not bloated and fat. Great for any dancer,  performer or professional who travels a lot and works long hours.

 

Why Algae Helps

SPIRULINA ALGAE (ENERGYBITS)

The protein in SKINNYbits® algae tabs is a plant protein – all in its natural amino acid state (unlike animal protein which needs to be broken down into amino acids before your body can use it). This means you automatically and easily absorb all the protein and get instant energy from it (within one minute if you chew it and within five to ten minutes if you swallow it). So, to supercharge your workout or performance, take at least 30 SKINNYbits® and then watch in amazement as your stamina kicks in. Since they are 60% protein, also take them after a workout if you want to build more lean muscle. Our SKINNYbits® are sold in large bags of 1,000 tabs that you can put into small travel tins each day and can slip into your pocket or gym bag, ready to use whenever you need that burst of energy.

 

Nitric Oxide for Endurance and Stamina

SKINNYbits® are 100% spirulina - a nitrogen based algae which helps your body to release nitric oxide when consumed. Nitric oxide is the fuel that all athletes, trainers and Olympic teams use to achieve top performance. Nitric oxide opens up blood vessels so more blood, oxygen and nutrients can reach the brain and muscles, making it the “holy grail” of stamina, endurance and strength. Simply put, it delivers a killer performance. Why take chemical or artificial nitric oxide when you can get it naturally with our SKINNYbits®? So follow the lead of Olympic athletes and many celebrities. Go natural. It’s the healthier choice.

CHLORELLA ALGAE (RECOVERYBITS)

Our RECOVERYbits® are 100% organically grown chlorella algae. Chlorella helps you detox physically and mentally because it is 100% green, 60% protein, has 40 naturally occurring vitamins and minerals and the highest concentration of chlorophyll in the world. This helps activate the enzymes and processes that are part of the detox and the cell building process. Nothing in the world has as much nutrition or can help your body cleanse and rebuild as naturally as algae. Chlorophyll is also a blood builder so as it detoxes you, it also helps you rebuild. That's what we affectionately call a win-win. In fact did you know that the molecular composition of chlorophyll is IDENTICAL to the molecular composition of human blood? Well, it is and there is only one atom that is different. In humans the central atom is iron while in the plant chlorophyll it is magnesium. Other than this small difference, they are identical. In fact the two are so identical that during WW II when there were shortages of blood for transfusions, liquid chlorophyll was instead. It was even used on the skin as a natural antiseptic. Are you excited yet by what all this chlorophyll will do for you? We are!

Why some consider Chlorella the king of detox

Any of our algae tabs will help you cleanse and detox, but our RECOVERYbits® are specifically known for their detox and toxin removal characteristics. This is because they are chlorella algae. The remarkable detoxing ability of chlorella algae was first discovered in Japan after the Hiroshima bombings, when chlorella was given to the population just as a healthy source of protein. Remarkably, those who ate the chlorella algae, recovered from the devastating nuclear radiation poisoning that had resulted from the Hiroshima bombings. This discovery led to an extensive study of chlorella first by the USA Government and then by the Japanese Government. Tens of thousands of studies on chlorella have been conducted over the last fifty years, all of which confirm this amazing ability of chlorella algae to absorb toxins (any toxins - from radiation to mercury to alcohol) and remove them from the body. These findings, combined with the knowledge that algae is the most concentrated source of protein available on the planet, led the Japanese to build chlorella farming, into the billion dollar industry it is now. For the last fifty years, chlorella has been taken by most Japanese on a daily basis. It is still unknown in the USA. But with the launch of our algae tabs, we’re hoping to change that. It's finally your turn to experience the amazing benefits of chlorella.

Why Drink Water?

OK, so now you know that algae can help your pet feel like a superhero. But you’re not done yet. Like you, they also need water. Lots of it.

Think about this. When you were a kid, you probably had a gold fish. Right?  Remember what happened when you didn’t change the water? It got murky. Your goldfish seemed depressed, stopped swimming or worse – died. Poor thing. But once you cleaned out the bowl and replaced it with fresh water, little “Goldie”  was probably back doing laps again, maybe even back flips like Dr. Seuss’s  “One Fish, Two Fish”. Well, your body’s cells  are just like little Goldie. They need a constant supply of fresh water and if they don’t get it, they slowly but surely shut down,  just like little Goldie Without a daily supply of fresh water, the water around your cells gets dirty, murky and toxic like the water in your goldfish bowl did. Yuck. Who wants dirty goldfish water sloshing around inside them? Not us. Not Goldie. And not you or your pet either. So help your pet drink up and drink often. And hopefully drink with our algae tabs.

But seriously, here’s why you and your need water. Your brain is 75% water. In fact, your muscles are 75% water too. Ever notice how you get thirsty when you lift weights? You do lift weights don’t you? The point is, your body is over 60% water and some parts are even higher, like your blood and lungs which are 90% water. Did you know your body is constantly rebuilding itself? Yup, your bones, your organs, your skin, absolutely everything is in a constant state of re-growth 24/7. Can you imagine a skyscraper built without steel? Well, water is one of your body’s most critical building materials and it can’t build healthy bones, organs or anything else for you without water.  Not only that, but water is what moves stuff around in your body. Not having enough water is like not having enough construction workers on a work site. Donald Trump would not be amused. So, you can, water does much more than just quench your thirst. It actually helps to build and run your body efficiently. That’s why just an occasional glass of water isn’t enough. You really need those eight glasses every day. Sounds like a lot. We know.

So, lets do the math. Each day, a typical adult loses an average of six cups of water from urine, four cups from breathing, sweating and bowel movements and two to three cups from digestion. That’s twelve cups even before you add in the dehydrating effects of caffeine, stress or exercise. Granted some of your H20 needs could come from your diet but only if you are eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. And no, French fries do not count. Nice try though.  So I bet you are walking around as dehydrated but just don’t know it. When you are dehydrated, you fatigue easily and nothing works as well as it should. In fact, without sufficient water, your body thinks it's in survival mode. And when this happens, your body behaves like a squirrel who hides nuts before the winter. It holds on to and stores whatever water it can get its hands on –causing swelling in feet, legs, hands, or horror of horrors - weight gain. But once you give your body what it needs, this stored water is usually released. Say hello to energy and weight loss.

By the way, that eight glasses of water a day is just a starting point. Your body treats water like a bank account. Every time you drink water, it’s like you’re making a deposit into the account. But unlike a real bank account where you are the only one authorized to make withdrawals, water withdrawals from your body can be made without your authorization or knowledge. Yikes! That’s right. It’s like giving thousands of total strangers your ATM card and PIN number and allowing them to withdraw whatever they want, whenever they want. And they do. The result? You become bankrupt, of water. And who are these unscrupulous strangers making these unauthorized withdrawals? Some are things you can control like your food and drink (eg caffeine and sugary foods are very dehydrating). Others are things you can’t control like breathing. Remember those twelve cups of water that you lose each day?  Without making additional water “deposits” (i.e. drinking more water)  to cover these other "unauthorized" water withdrawals your body can easily go into “overdraft” and become bankrupt i.e. dehydrated.

Still not convinced you need water? Then consider what happens when you get dehydrated. Without water in your body, you would be poisoned by your own waste products. Whoa! That got your attention didn’t it? Sorry for the drama. But here's what happens. During dehydration, the water surrounding your cells is reduced, leaving the small remaining amount to become stagnant and loaded with toxins. As dehydration continues, since your body absolutely has to have water surrounding its cells (to perform all its daily duties), it pulls out water from inside your cells. Yup, like a fugitive on the run, your body literally “steals” water where ever it can find it, from inside your cells, your blood, your organs and even from inside your colon (a big contributor to constipation). This continues until your cells finally lose all or most of their internal water, shrivel up, malfunction or become damaged. You can usually stop these early stages of dehydration just by drinking more water, but most people have no idea they are dehydrated. Too bad because there are so many health conditions that could be eased just by drinking more water. Who knew? Well, now you do. So give your pet lots of water – preferably with our algae tabs. Heck they’re even approved by little Goldie.
