![]() ![]() Unfortunately, this would put it out of reach monetarily from many backpackers. Purchased in bulk, 1000 tablets retail for $115.00 putting the cost per 30 Bit dose at $3.45. This could be a real help to the many backpackers who lose their appetite on the trail. 120 Bits or 4 doses offer 20 grams of protein in a very small lightweight package compared to a protein bar.Īnother plus is you can swallow 30 Bits providing 5 grams of protein and 30 calories in one gulp followed by some water. That being said there is a silver lining in this product for the long distance backpacker who has to consider weight and bulk when picking their food choices. If I had been given a larger sample size to test over a longer period of time it would have been easier to quantify any benefits I might see. Unfortunately, I was offered a very small sample size for testing. In the end, after consuming 30 Bits each of Energy Bits and Recovery Bits on two separate occasions before and after my weekly marathon mountain bike ride I can't say I saw any actual benefit from either product. Touted as the latest, greatest products to boost performance and recovery, they are meant to be taken before and after exercise.Ĭonsumption is best done by swallowing the 30 Bits in one or two swallows followed by some water as they have a very GREEN taste. Manufactured in a pill form, a dose of 30 Bits is loaded with vitamins and minerals and provide just under 5 grams of protein and 30 calories. While this may seem an odd choice for consumption, algae is one of the most energy dense foods available and has been consumed in Asia for centuries. and beauty. The Energy Bits one ingredient is spirulina algae and the Recovery Bits are comprised of chlorella algae. According to the ENERGYbits website, the tablets made from two types of algae, chlorella, 'a health and wellness algae' and spirulina, 'an energizing and nourishing algae' that provide bodies with nutrients that help with 'immune health, gut health, energy, longevity. I often am offered the chance to try new and unusual products, EnergyBits and RecoveryBits definitely fit into this category. ![]()
