For my first trial I took a serving of 30 tabs. It was easy for me since I was used to swallowing a handful of pills daily after being diagnosed with an auto immune disorder. Someone who is not good at swallowing pills may have an issue, but you can chew them. I took 10 pills at a time with a gulp of water. That method worked very well for me. After I took them I changed into my running clothes, stretched and headed for the treadmill. I was supposed to run 11 miles, but had to quit at 4 miles do to pain. It was a shame since my head was so clear and I was ready to run. I felt the energy long after I got off the treadmill.
Fast Forward a couple of weeks later, I was finally able to run again. I had been out of town for 4 days, which included a lot of time in the car. I was exhausted, feeling under the weather, and with a to do list a mile long. I skipped my morning dose of caffeine (none in the house since I was too tired to go to the grocery store) and grabbed for the energy bits in hopes it would help me make it through the morning. Shortly after I took them I was already feeling better. I jumped on the treadmill, ran 3 miles, did some ab and arms exercises, then started tackling my to do list. I never did hit my usual afternoon fog/desperate need to lay down. It was amazing. Oh did I mention I never did have my daily dose of caffeine that day AND I never got the usual caffeine withdrawal headache. Score!!!
Energy Bits are 100% organically grown Spirulina Algae. There is only 1 calorie per tab and it contains the highest concentration of protein in the world!!! They are not pills, supplements or vitamins, they are food. Anyone who knows me well knows that I am very conscious of what I put in my body and try to eat as clean as I can. That is what I love so much about Energy Bits. They are 100% natural which is very hard to come by when it comes to items that claim to boost energy. I refuse to even try 99% of what is on the market these days due to all the chemicals they fill them with. Just ask my husband who I constantly get on to about his "poison" drinks, bars and gels. One day he will come around to my clean ways. Unfortunately it is not as easy for him to gain access to those items since he is a soldier serving overseas. Anyway, I can rest easy knowing that I am putting such a great product into my body and one that I don't have to worry about it disagreeing with my body mid run. If you are a distance runner I am sure you have at least one energy fuel gone wrong story. Don't make that mistake again and go for the bits!
Overall this is a product I will be buying for myself. I felt it gave me more energy than I would have had without them and without the energy crash once it wears off. That is my biggest issue with other products that I have tried. The constant need to take in more because the crash is worse than the initial lack of energy. While I have not run the distances I would normally be taking energy fuel for, I look forward to what it can do for me when I do get back to those distances.
