Catherine Arnston. Catherine is the founder of Energy Bits, and she is a passionate champion of the world's oldest and most

nutrient-dense whole food. Algae. That's right. Energy bits are algae tablets, and they're

called energy bits because algae, among its many other attributes, upgrades the function of our mitochondria,
