EnergyBits Review and Giveaway!

Let's Talk EnergyBits!

EnergyBits are 100% Spirulina algae that are in pill form. You take 30 tabs at a time before your workout.

So, my philosophy is that I will try any supplement once (but never on race day! Haha). The first time I used EnergyBits it had to get me through a run of a 3 miles, a weight training class, hours of class, and a full day of work, and it worked out wonderfully.

Taking EnergyBits: Taste and Smell
Each serving of EnergyBits is 30 tabs and I usually swallow them like pills. Don't smell them, seriously. Personally I think they smell like seafood, and I'm not a fan of seafood. When I take them as pills the smell doesn't bother me at all. I usually take the 30 tabs in two swallows of 15 tabs. The first time I took them I was nervous about how they would settle in my stomach, but hours later my stomach didn't have any negative reactions. This is impressive especially since my stomach is sensitive to almost everything. A lot of traditional energy supplements like Gu's and Sport Beans don't really settle well, so I am super excited to finally find a pre-workout energy supplement that I don't mind taking and doesn't bother my stomach.

Performance
Let me tell you that EnergyBits are AMAZING!!! I took them at 8:45 (15 minutes before I started my run) with water and I felt rejuvenated. The effects lasted well into the day for me and I was awake and alert even at 3:00 which is when I usually am the most tired. Unlike other energy supplements there was no crash afterward!

Other Benefits of EnergyBits
Now, I know I have been using the term "supplements" to describe EnergyBits but that word doesn't do them justice. EnergyBits are food, pure and simple. Here is a chart with the vitamins in EnergyBits and how EnergyBit compares with other ways to get those vitamins in your day.




Overall
After my first time trying EnergyBits I just couldn't go back to any other way to fuel my runs, P90X3, Iron Bombshell workouts, and races! I used EnergyBits to fuel my Hot Chocolate 5k and it went wonderfully. Thankfully you can try some EnergyBits too!
