Catharine Arnston, founder ENERGYbits, details the health benefits of including algae in your diet and its role in fighting illness.A staple in Asian diets, algae is a relatively underused food group in America. However, it is the most nutrient-dense food in the world, with three times the amount of protein as steak, 25 times more calcium than milk and thousands more antioxidants than blueberries.

Algae is also the most studied food in the world, with more than 100,000 studies on the food group.

Catharine Arnston, Shark Tank contestant and founder and CEO of ENERGYbits, discusses how she discovered algae while her sister was battling cancer and how it altered the course of her life. Leaving a 30-year career in the business world, Arnston became dedicated to finding ways for more Americans to enhance their diets by adding in algae. 

The result was ENERGYbits, algae tablets that build your immune system, helping you to heal better and faster.
