Summer is finally here! With travel finally booming again, that means more red-eye flights, layovers, airplane food, and hotel rooms without kitchens. Also, exposure to airplane cabin radiation, recycled air, and jet fuel can deplete your body’s antioxidant defenses. Add in the extra stress of time zone shifts, unfamiliar food, and that all-too-common vacation constipation, it is no wonder travel can do a number on your health.

To boot, most grab-and-go airport foods solve none of these problems. Whether it is an airport muffin, fresh produce that doesn’t survive customs, or a burger and fries mid-road trip, travel can make it much harder to nourish your body properly. Enter algae tablets – tiny, raw, and travel-friendly superfoods that deliver a comprehensive array of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, prebiotics, and protein within seconds. Pop a handful, and get back to your adventure!

This article covers common travel nutrition challenges and why ENERGYbits® is the superfood your body needs. Supporting your body and health goals on the road has never been easier!

Why algae tablets are your perfect superfood that provides all the travel vitamins you need

When we think of travel food, it is hard to imagine a trip where we don’t overdo it on convenient or fast foods, airport cafes, or gas station hauls. Fresh fruits and vegetables tend to be the first to go, especially in destinations where uncooked foods are less safe. While less healthy travel options might not always be avoidable, ENERGYbits® can provide much of the missing nutrition and protect your health from all the suboptimal foods and exposures. No matter what happens during your trip, algae tablets can support you. Here’s how.

Powerful protective plant-based antioxidants

Travelling exposes you to a lot of oxidative stress and chemicals, such as disrupted sleep, radiation exposure during flights, and jet fuel. These oxidants can accelerate aging and make you feel off, which takes away from your best travel experience. Oxidative stress also weakens your immune system, further increasing your health risks, especially when you’re exposed to more crowds in airports and attractions [1], [2]. More than ever, your body needs plant-based antioxidant nutrients, which become ever harder to find on the road. 

The good news is that algae tablets are chock-full of antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, zinc, and chlorophyll. Spirulina in ENERGYbits® in particular boasts high levels of antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase 2, which disarms oxidants and protects your mitochondria from them. Spirulina also provides zinc, copper, and manganese, the essential cofactors for your body’s own superoxide dismutase enzymes to function optimally. More importantly, phycocyanin, the vivid blue pigment in spirulina stimulates Nrf2, which activates your antioxidant genes [3], [4]. 

This all-star lineup of oxidative stress fighters, combined with the detoxifying punch of chlorophyll in RECOVERYbits®, can protect your health and maintain your wellbeing as you travel.

Plant-based nutrients that are hard to get on the go

It can be very difficult to maintain a well-rounded diet during trips. Salads can be too soggy, costly, and come with the risk of food-borne illnesses. With algae tablets, you have less to worry about! 

Algae tablets pack a surprising range of micronutrients – iron, magnesium, potassium, and B vitamins that can be hard to get on the road [4]. And a bonus, since the nutrients come from a raw and whole food source, they’re all highly bioavailable and easy for your body to use [5]. Instead of needing to pack multiple supplements for your trip or worry about balanced meals, you can be sure your nutrient requirements are met with algae tablets.

Even one serving of algae tablets can fill the gaps often left by convenience-store dinners and sterile hotel buffets, so you can enjoy your travel activities and meals. 

Support gut flora and regularity

Travel can expose your body to new foods, different water, time zone changes, and stress. Combined, this can throw off your gut, leading to issues like bloating and constipation [6]. Even if you don’t get symptoms, studies find that the gut flora composition typically changes during travel [6]. 

By providing a unique combination of soluble fiber and prebiotic polysaccharides, VITALITYbits® feed the gut flora and support regularity without the side effects of over-the-counter laxatives [7]. The result? A calmer stomach, smoother elimination, and one less thing to worry about when you finally find a decent café restroom.

On the flip side, some people experience a traveler's stomach, especially with variable food handling practices and in warmer climates. The good news is that a diverse and robust gut flora will strengthen your gut’s defense. While algae tablets are neither a treatment nor a guarantee against a traveler's stomach, studies show that they can significantly improve gut flora diversity [8]. Even better, when combined with probiotics, it further boosts the probiotics’ effectiveness to maximize your digestive health as you travel [9].

Our advice? Start ahead of time, focusing on supporting your gut flora with probiotics and algae tablets at least a few weeks before your journey begins. Research finds that this small step can keep your digestive health optimal and robust while you are away [6]!

Improve energy without crash or reducing your sleep quality

Travel is exhausting, especially with early morning or late night departures, suboptimal sleep, jet lag, and nonstop activities. While the extra cup of coffee is tempting, it might be doing more harm than good. 

In fact, caffeine works like a high-interest loan on your energy. Instead of energizing your cells, it blocks your fatigue sensation so that you can push through the fatigue only to crash later. Also, caffeine can stay in your system for up to 10 hours, which can reduce your sleep quality or delay adjustment to new time zones [10]. This means caffeine can prolong and worsen your jet lag symptoms [10]. In other words, relying on caffeine can create a vicious cycle that disrupts your sleep, while keeping you more tired in the long run. 

Instead, ENERGYbits® energizes you with B vitamins, antioxidants, iron, and mitochondrial support. It can give you a little boost without the crash or sleep disruptions [5]. Our customers rave at how much it helps them with energy. 

And to help you get back on track with your sleep schedule, RECOVERYbits® chlorella, rich in sleep support molecules like tryptophan and magnesium, can help support evening recovery and sleep quality [11], [12].

Combined, they are the perfect duo for energy without having to resort to energy drinks or a double espresso. You’ll be energizing your cells rather than borrowing energy from your future self.

High-protein and satiating

Lean, clean protein is hard to come by during travels, unless you carry around protein powder tubs or tuna cans. This makes it extra challenging to maintain your fitness progress or tame the blood sugar swings.

Algae tablets provide a great whole food protein source. Gram for gram, spirulina is 55-70% protein with a bioavailability of 86% [13]. As far as plant-based sources go, algae is one of the few complete proteins – containing all nine essential amino acids – making it one of the most nutrient-dense proteins on Earth [14].

The bonus? That hit of protein can blunt blood sugar swings, help tame cravings, and help keep you satisfied when touring around [15], [16]. Nothing distracts you more from sightseeing like a grumbling belly, and ENERGYbits® is here to help.

Easy to travel with

Given all of the above, your last question is likely how to travel with them. With all of the security regulations, it is a valid concern! However, unlike powders or liquids, algae tablets are easy to pack, won’t explode in your bag, and don’t count towards your precious liquid quota. Given that they pack a punch, they can likely replace a few supplements to further lighten your load.

Algae tablets breeze through security when travelling – the US Transportation Security Administration permits you to carry these tablets in your carry-on and checked baggage without restrictions [17].

A bonus is that they are free from common allergens like peanuts, gluten, and soy – a courteous choice when sitting close up to those with severe allergies in airplanes, cars, buses, and trains alike.

Conclusion

Whether you are backpacking the mountain or catching trains through Europe, ENERGYbits® has got your back. Our algae tablets can be a simple way to stay nourished, energized, and like yourself, no matter where your journey leads.

While not meant to replace a meal, they are a near-perfect nutritional insurance policy when unknown circumstances (or icky airline food) let you down. Toss a bag into your carry-on, glove compartment, or hiking backpack and you have a portable multivitamin, protein source, and gut support boost with you wherever you roam.

This travel season, place ENERGYbits® right alongside your passport – your body will thank you long after you’ve returned home from your trip.
