Boost your workout energy, performance, muscle gains, and recovery with spirulina and chlorella   

Fall has arrived. For many of us, it is now time to return to healthy routines. Whether that means returning to the gym, recommitting to regular movement, or just simply feeling better after the summer, algae tablets can provide that extra support. 

Spirulina makes a perfect pre-workout food without the chemicals, caffeine, sugar, or additives found in your typical pre-workout. ENERGYbits® helps boost energy, stamina, and performance without the jitters or crash. For post-workout, RECOVERYbits® shines at helping your body recover by aiding detoxification, replenishing nutrients, and supporting muscle recovery. 

Whether you're hitting the squat rack, heading to a spin class, or just want to feel more energized and motivated this fall, these two superfoods offer a simple and natural way to help you make the most of your workouts. 

How spirulina can boost your sports performance

Whether you are a seasoned vet when it comes to fitness, or just starting out, ENERGYbits® might give you an extra edge. Here is how:

Boosts energy and motivation

Spirulina provides B vitamins, especially B1, B2, and B3, which assist with converting caloric foods into usable energy at the cellular level [1]. At the same time, antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, and E, zinc, and superoxide dismutase enzymes in spirulina protect your mitochondria from everyday oxidative stress that can make you tired [2]. These nutrients support the mitochondria, your cellular powerhouse which are critical for both physical stamina and mental energy [1].  

Spirulina can help fight both mental and physical fatigue. In one study, one week of consuming 3 grams of spirulina (12 tablets) significantly improved exercise output and mental fatigue [3]. Participants felt less tired within just a few hours after taking it. Their energy levels continued to improve with consistent use over 8 weeks [3]. 

Another study found that even just four weeks of 6 grams (24 tablets) of spirulina daily significantly improved exercise performance while reducing oxidative stress markers [4].

Getting back into a fitness routine can be challenging, especially when physical and mental energy are low. If you are looking for more energy without stimulants, ENERGYbits® might be exactly what you need to power through your workouts.

Boosts stamina

Lack of oxygen is a common cause of fatigue. Spirulina might also help you exercise for longer before feeling too tired by improving circulation and tissue oxygenation through nitric oxide (NO) [5]. Most people are not getting enough of this heart-healthy molecule from food because 90% of the population are not eating enough vegetables [6]. 

Spirulina stimulates the enzyme that produces nitric oxide in your blood vessels [5]. Then, it enhances NO release and keeps NO active for longer [7],[8]. The NO relaxes the blood vessels, improving overall circulation and oxygenation to your muscles and brain [9]. This can delay fatigue. Studies also suggest that increasing nitric oxide may also boost strength and muscle gains in response to resistance training [10].

Aside from NO, 6 grams spirulina daily increased hemoglobin concentration by up to 3.4% in recreationally active cyclists [11]. More hemoglobin means more oxygen delivery to working muscles, supporting endurance.

Runners who took 6 grams of spirulina daily for one month were able to exercise longer before reaching exhaustion compared to those taking the placebo [12]. Another found a significant increase in exercise output after one week of supplementing with 3 grams a day [3].

By boosting circulation and oxygenation, ENERGYbits® can help you power through a long run or feel overall less drained throughout your day. 

Improve fat loss results

If fat loss is one of your goals this fall, spirulina might be a surprisingly helpful ally. Unlike harsh stimulants or restrictive diets, ENERGYbits®  supports fat loss naturally, through a variety of mechanisms that go beyond calories-in vs. calories-out.

Studies find that spirulina can reduce body fat, especially for those with higher body weights [13]. One way it may do this is by increasing fat usage for energy, also called fat oxidation, particularly during exercise. One study found that consuming 6 grams of spirulina daily increased fat oxidation by 10.9% during exercise, decreasing participants' reliance on carbs and allowing them to burn more fat [12].

Spirulina also supports a healthy blood sugar and insulin response, which plays a big role in whether your body stores or burns fat [13]. Better insulin sensitivity means your body is better at using the food you eat for energy, rather than storing it as fat. It does this through activating the AMPK pathway, a key cellular switch that encourages your body to burn fat and stop making new fat [14].

Another way spirulina may help with fat loss is by improving the gut flora [15]. Studies show it can improve microbial diversity and regulate important metabolites like short-chain fatty acids and bile acids, which are linked to better fat metabolism [15]. In mice, spirulina increased the bacteria associated with leanness and lower appetite [16].

While not a quick fix, adding spirulina to a balanced routine of diet and exercise can be a powerful, natural way to support your fat-loss success. 

How chlorella can support recovery and results from your training

When it comes to seeing real progress, recovery is just as important as the workout itself. Between your workouts, your body builds muscles, burns fat, and becomes stronger. Chlorella can be a powerful tool to help your body bounce back faster and perform better [17]. Whether you're dealing with post-workout soreness or just trying to maximize your training benefits, the chlorella in RECOVERYbits® can help. Here is how: 

Mitigates post-exercise muscle soreness

If you are constantly sore after workouts, chlorella might be the missing piece to your recovery regimen. Muscle soreness is caused by mechanical damage from the exercise, immune responses to the damages, and some of the brain’s response itself [18].

Thanks to its powerful combination of antioxidant and alkalizing molecules, chlorella helps neutralize oxidative stress that contributes to muscle soreness [17]. In one clinical study, 6 grams of chlorella daily effectively lowered markers of oxidative stress and boosted fatigue tolerance post-exercise after a 30-minute workout [19].

Chlorella also supports effective lactate clearance from muscles more quickly [20]. This lactate buildup is what causes muscles to feel heavy after a tough workout. In one study, just two days of taking 6 grams of chlorella per day helped reduce the buildup of lactic acid in the blood during both moderate and intense exercise [21]. 

In between your workouts, your mitochondria and oxygen are crucial for helping your muscles recover. By improving oxygen delivery and supporting mitochondrial health, chlorella helps with muscle fatigue, even with short-term use [21]. Chlorella also helps muscle cells regenerate more effectively and bounce back faster [21],[22].

Altogether, these benefits make RECOVERYbits® a valuable tool for reducing soreness, accelerating muscle repair, and keeping you feeling ready for your next training session!

As a source of amino acids and chlorella growth factor

With 70% of its dry weight made up of protein, chlorella gives you all nine essential amino acids you need to support muscle growth and repair [23]. Key amino acids needed for exercise recovery – leucine, glutamine, and arginine – are all found in this all-star algae – help support muscle protein synthesis processes post-workout [23].

Raw chlorella like in RECOVERYbits® contains a unique bioactive compound called chlorella growth factor (CGF). CGF supports your body’s growth and repair processes [24]. Lab studies have found that CGF helped important cells, like stem cells, grow and stay healthy, even when nutrients were limited [24]. This could translate to better muscle and tissue recovery after exercise.

Even a single dose of chlorella significantly increases muscle protein synthesis, also known as muscle building in response to exercise and protein consumption [23]!

Together, these effects make chlorella a great addition to any recovery routine, especially for those seeking a more natural support for muscle repair and athletic performance.

Immune-supporting antioxidants

Physical stressors like intense training can temporarily weaken your immune system, even though they strengthen your immune response in the long run. 

By providing immune-supportive nutrients and antioxidants, chlorella can assist with immune recovery and repair [19].

Chlorella’s unique polysaccharides, along with proteins and peptides, help support the production of important immune messenger molecules [25]. This translates to a faster, more effective immune response–helping you recover more quickly and stay well between training sessions [26].

Combined, these nutrients and bioactive molecules work synergistically to help the body recover more effectively by supporting immune resilience and reducing post-exercise processes that can hinder recovery.
