So your options are raw spirulina that, you know, you have to eat because it's raw or some, a company like ours, where our algae tablets are raw, but if you swallow them, There's zero flavor, no repeat. It's not like fish oil, never repeats, no stomach distress, safe for every age from newborns to children to teenagers, grandparents, and your pet.

I would, first of all, spirulina, I would... I'm so sorry, you know, I don't like to bash other companies, but this whole green powder thing, I think, has gone crazy. First of all, companies are pounding their chest, boasting about how many nutrients or ingredients they have in there.

Well, let me tell you, if there's 85 nutrients, you can be darn sure there's very, very little of any one of them in there, number one. Exactly. we have one ingredient. It's just spirulina or chlorella. We have a blended tablet, but one ingredient. Number two, powders must use high heat to blend their mix. It just is what it is.

So you're getting a teeny amount of nutrients and they're being deactivated by high heat. Well, Yeah, so that pretty much is not why you would be taking the powder. They're messy. You can't avoid the flavor. There's often hidden ingredients in there that they don't have to put on the label, so you're never really sure what you're getting. It's just a dog's breakfast.

I wouldn't go anywhere near it. a powder, quite honestly. And for ours, the tablets, you can grind them up in the coffee grinder and put them in your smoothie and turn them into powder. As a small company, I had to make a choice between tablets or powder. And I went with tablets because they're so much easier to travel with. You can swallow them so you don't take any, there's no flavor.

Kids actually love to chew them because it turns a tongue screen and they think it's pretty funny. Your pets will absolutely adore you if you give them to them as a treats. So I'm not a big fan of greens powders. I'm sorry, but I'll pound my chest. We have one ingredient. That's it. Nothing added, nothing subtracted.

And by the way, we don't even sell them through chain stores, chain retail stores. We only sell them on our own website, energybits.com or through clinics, biohacking clinics, longevity clinics, practitioners, because our algae is medical grade food. And we do third party lab tests here in the United States to document the that the nutrients are what we say they are.

Because also you can go on, there's lots of companies that say what the nutrients are and then they get tested and they're nowhere near what they say on the label. Our lab tests prove that what we say is in there is actually in there. We don't add anything, by the way. It's just the way we grow it so everything's preserved.

And the doctors, they need to be sure that it's toxin-free and has what we say it has. So when they recommend it to their patients, they know it's a safe product.

Great questions. So they are completely different, and I'll explain why and when to take them. And if you had to choose, I usually defer to spirulina, and I'll tell you why. So spirulina, as I mentioned, is an energizing algae. You get the energy in a couple of ways. It has the highest protein, complete protein with all those aminos, very high in B vitamins.
