Mark Cuban was the first shark to really dig into Catherine and uncover the lack of science behind the product. In case you are wondering about the math, one serving is 30 bits making each serving cost just under $4.00 (although on the website, it incorrectly states that each serving costs $2.80) The four different types are, EnergyBITS, SkinnyBITS, RecoveryBITS and VitalityBITS (although it is revealed on the show that SkinnyBITS and EnergyBITS are the same thing in different packaging.) They are sold in bags of 1,000 - a month supply - for $120.00. I am here to praise each of them on their decision not to invest in this snake oil company and, in doing so, highlight different reasons why Energybits - and every other company out there like it - is producing and selling a terrible product.ĮNERGYbits sells four different types of 'bits' - made from spirulina and chlorella algae. But, I am not here to question the sharks decisions about their money. The sharks listened to her attentively but, it became quickly apparent when they started asking her questions, that they were not satisfied with her answers regarding both the finances and the science behind her product. I caught the episode that had originally aired in November, where Catharine Arnston, the Founder/CEO of the Boston based company ENERGYbits made her pitch for their support of her algae supplement company. In last week's episode of Shark Tank, the five "sharks" elevated themselves from wealthy, successful business people to champions of science.
