Athletic Greens Review: Why You Should AVOID Athletic Greens (AG1)

[@sailingvlogs1726]

When you buy AG1 you’re not paying for the product, you’re paying for all the Affiliates that promote the product. The affiliates create the hype, and they get paid handsomely for it.

[@Ruebie]

I completely agree on all points, so nice to see someone else out there with their eyes open, so still looking for a fabulous greens supplement

[@Fidi987]

I believe the main problem with such products is that the marketing tells us everyday things are hard. There are products that advertise fluids to drink instead of having to eat. As if eating was that hard. And here, it is implied that eating vegetables now and then and making a smoothie from what you have a t hand now and then is sooo difficult! If you begin to drink this powder or any other greens powder instead of eating fresh produce, you will soon believe that eating healthy is sooo difficult and drinking powder + water is sooo simple and otherwise you would get a vitamin deficiency. There may be people who benefit from this, people who have trouble to eat at all or who only eat convenience products. But is this not a convenience product, too? The average adult who cooks for himself should not feel that he needs such a powder. It is our fault to believe marketers who tell us that things like eating, eating vegetable, making a smoothie at home are TOO HARD for us to do on a regular basis. For most people, this should not apply!

This dude made a brutally honest review of his girlfriend's present for him-- also this dude is the least disgusted I've ever seen anybody look when drinking AG1

[@dustindarabaris48]

Also it was a present he specifically asked for lol so his critiques are things he could have and probably did know before he asked for it. For example he doesn’t like it’s a proprietary blend…which is extremely clear when you visit their site..so he either never actually looked into it literally at all or he knew the issues before he asked for it.

[@Swearengen1980]

You're citing 1 paper on probiotics? Consistent science would generally disagree with you. By your logic, no one should eat Sauerkraut regularly, which is a far greater source of probiotics than AG1. I've done this break down numerous times and quality combined with the amount of the wide variety of vitamins and minerals, I'd spend far more than the $80 subscription price (in fact, I do). My body, like many others, also don't absorb pill form vitamins well, particularly people with regular digestive issues like IBS or chronic GERD. So to get better forms of vitamins or minerals you may be deficient in, that's even more expensive than pills. Everyone harps on the proprietary blend, which could be a mask or it could be so other companies don't outright steal their formula - That's just good business. In cost comparison, do you get what you pay for? Example: Your multivitamin - B12 isn't methylated. Doses are all low and bordering on insignificant in some areas if your diet is shit. I don't see anything on their site about being 3rd party tested, etc. It's a half assed comparison if you think you're getting a high quality product for cents a day. That's not how the world works unless you're being ripped off. And here's the real determining factor in my own experience, because unlike you, I DID test it. I'm a sober alcoholic, so I spent years destroying my body. For a couple years after getting sober, I spent a good amount (more than Ag1) in total for quality, 3rd party tested supplements and my blood tests barely moved in that time. My B12 did raise some when I began a spray instead of pill form. However I did see improvement across the board with AG1, simple as that (and it actually saves me a few $). Now here's the real point you missed that unless you've done thorough research on supplements: AG1 intentionally leaves out some minerals because they inhibit the absorption of other minerals. They are combinations you simply shouldn't take, backed by science. Your choice of multivitamin throws them all in there and you're possibly hindering the effect of a few of the ingredients you think you're getting. Short story long, half baked, unresearched or thought through review from a guy who doesn't exactly look like the picture of health.

I was considering trying AG… I stopped considering it about 1 second after you said “£90 a month”!!!

[@donrounds7791]

Just to clarify - the AG1 product has a full ingredient list detailing the amounts of each vitamin and mineral, e.g. 420mg of Vitamin C and 22mcg of Vitamin B12 per serving (you actually showed that in the video on the ingredient list!). Granted the remaining food-based nutrients are grouped in to categories and given a weight of each group, i.e. 7386mg of "Alkaline, nutrient-dense raw superfood complex" which includes multiple ingredients. I don't think that the "proprietary" blend comment means anything. It just means they own the blend - which is the same for any food product. I do not dispute that this is a premium product but the basic premise of this video seems misleading.

[@MrJonne2000]

Propietary blend means that they have to list the over all amount of ingredients of the blend and that means that there is no guarantee of the amount of the ingredients in the serving or the 30 day pouch that you get. The ingredients listed are basically just what goes into the batch where your pouch has been filled from, but you could look at it like blind picking food at a buffet, you take a scoop a mixed food and it's up to chance if something is left out.

[@thomastompkins8602]

That is what got my attention. They have a comprehensive and good list of the vitamins and minerals contained within, that show it is better than just a "daily salad". Most of the other brands either do not list any vitamins/minerals content or it is minimal and pathetic.

Seriously don't buy Ag1 until you have a good talk to a professional dietitian, it has 400% vitamin C and that's absorbing all nutrition, I found out I had the 'celt gen called Hemochromatosis, I was told to immediately stop taking it along with huel, as huel has to much Iron and the Ag1 was absorbing the iron at 400% more than what my body was, my specialist said if I'd kept taking both I'd very most likely had some form of organ failure, so be very careful, check your health, then make sure it will be vital for health at 100$ a month.

Hell Apple, Coca Cola, and Microsoft to name a few. Products react different from person to person. Getting back to this point. Everyone does not have the same genes, make-up, pigmentation, etc. Some people have the disposable income to purchase AG1 without a blink of an eye because it's quick, and convenient for daily use. If you have to balk at the price. Just go to Whole Foods and buy fresh vegetables/fruit and eat the old fashion way. Call it a day!!!! Deuces

Apparently the affiliate marketing system gives the channel (who's discount code you use when you subscribe) 30% of your subscription fee. So that leaves a lot less in the pot to cover other costs including the manufacturer's profit margin and shipping. I think that 30% cut might have a lot to do with the positive recommendations.

[@michaelransom5841]

Here's my issue with supplements like AG1.... Outside of the fact it doesn't actually supply 100% of the RDA of all the essential vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and proteins, the real issue is 1serving of AG1 is only 12gr... And yet it has 75 ingredients in it!... And most of the ingredients are whole dried food products like "dried broccoli flower powder"... Yet the amount of the biologically active phytonutrients per gram of broccoli are trace amounts at best... Using broccoli as an example, it's known to contain bioactive compounds such as phenolics, glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, and sulforaphane. All of these have been shown to be required in significant levels before any clinical benefits can be demonstrated.... Yet in one serving your talking maybe a few milligrams of broccoli, yeilding maybe a few nanograms of active compounds... Literally pointless... With that many "whole food" ingredients, you'd have to take nearly the entire bag a day to get enough of each item for it to actually have any effect...

@@mikehammond89 it doesn’t. Legally companies aren’t required to release the exact amounts of things in a proprietary blend. (Think of cocacola, you can’t expect them to list their secret formula on the can). This is a problem in the supplement world because people are buying specific amounts of vitamins/minerals. The good companies will list exactly whats in it, but most of the cheaper/bigger brands will have a proprietary blend. In supplements proprietary blends are used to cut corners on cost. Its so they can claim that they provide all the vitamins but by not disclosing the amounts and hiding them in a proprietary blend they don’t have to provide effective doses of those vitamins. Many of these ingredients are basically useless if you don’t take them in big enough doses.

I think AG is great for those who are intermittent fasting. You can still get all of your vital nutrients while only eating one meal a day. If you break it down, you would be spending more than $100 U.S. dollars on that food anyway (if you were eating 2 or 3 meals a day). People will spend $5 on a cup of coffee practically every morning, but they won't spend $3 and some change every day on a glass of nutrients (far better for you than a cup of acidic coffee). If some place like Starbucks made you pay $100 at the end of each month for your coffee allowance, people would say that's too high. It's psychological. People don't notice how much they're spending until after they have already spent it.

if the FDA cant even check the healthyness of greens powders, what can we expect about vaxines?

It's also probably high oxalate due to the raw spinach it contains.

[@matthewmahgrefteh9502]

That's expensive.

[@bevcanuel106]

Excellent review. I've been wondering about the true value. I'm with you on this one.

[@peters1992]

Yes the priority blend is a red flag. For decades I’ve been taking Greens+, by Genuine Health, a Canadian product. Everything is listed on the label. While I don’t eat processed foods, cook for myself and have a regular vitamin schedule.. I noticed a diff. consuming Greens+ from day one.., so have continued. Gotta warn you though.. I gagged on the stuff to begin with 🤑

[@Outcast-dc4ci]

I was wondering since stores for the micronutrients in our bodies usually lasts us for long durations of time in small amounts, could the proprietary blend been design for a per month dosage to be affective in that way? You may not know how much your getting per serving but you do know how much per bag or per month right? Great video by the way.

[@mikehammond89]

Where are you getting proprietary blend from? I just checked their website. It lists how much of everything is in 1 serving for AG1

[@frenchriversprings]

Exactly

[@frenchriversprings]

Ok. I see

At the time this video was recorded the measurements weren't on the products or website

I love Ag1, and have listened to criticism, and there are real points to be made. The price is steep, but I feel you get what you pay for. It really does dissolve in water and tastes ok. Not great because candy and pizza tastes great, green juice tastes like green juice. Cheap green juice is clumpy and tastes gross. So why pay for something you don't use, when you can pay more for something you really use. I've lost weight and feel better with AG1.I really like Taz's homework, and am open to changing my supplement regiment. I don't use the FULL serving. 1/2 a serving will due, so the price is half in my case.

How with milk? Almond or coco milk?

[@ryanedmonds2244]

@@charruaporelmundo I never tried it with a milk. It has a slight pineapple tang. It goes great with a little citrus juice in the water mix

[@terryemoorer296]

I didn't mind the taste.I found out 2 days after taking it it contained caffeine from the green tea extract.I literally thought I was going to have to take a trip to the,hospital. And normally I know after trying some supplements you have a reaction sometimes but this was bad guys. I will have to do more research in the future. I really wanted this to work....good luck everyone

[@DOLfirst]

@@terryemoorer296 good to know. Thanks.

[@thomastompkins8602]

You are getting a very high and comprehensive vitamin and mineral profile in AG1 that they actually list. Most of the other "superfood" products do not even list their vitamin and mineral level, if they even have any at all! Just look for yourself and see that it is a truly great product, otherwise they couldn't put that list on their package. I am considering a purchase in the future.

[@optimusprimus89]

I'm surprised you didn't mention AG (along with other green powders) Have heavy metals in them, Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, and Mercury.

[@GDAWG.]

The reason they dont tell you how much is in each scoop is because they dont know themselves. They have an approx. Figure but it would look very unprofessional if each tub said: approx xyz of this or that. Please do not waste your money people. I used it for 3 months and felt absolutely zero benefit. A healthy diet and even a vitamin/iron supplement daily will do you way more good. ❤

[@aaronsalmon1376]

Hey mate, great comprehensive vid. Just curious, so I i was to take, the vitamins and minerals mix, greens blend, adaptogen mix and mushroom, would I need to take other vitamins? I am pretty healthy, it's more just to fill in any holes I may have with diet.
