I ordered and tried AG 1 for the gut health part due to problems with constipation and I used it for two months. It did not help with constipation at all and I really didn't notice any other benefit from it.
I think you are correct. But there is a fundamental miss here. People know they need to go to the gym and don’t do it. Same way people know they have to eat better (aka get their nutrients from the food directly but don’t do it). If what AG1 claims is true, and the ingredients are high quality, then I think you are paying for the convenience, even though is probably overpriced.
Just take a multivitamin for 20$ a month then. The problem is not the overpriced supplement, the problem is the advertisement behind it. Podcasts like Huberman promote it and leverage their credentials to make people think this is the most advanced, scientifically backed, line of supplements out there when in reality they don’t even give you the amount of ingredients you are getting.

"If" indeed, but my money is on both not being the case. The first point, that what they claim is true, is pretty obviously not the case.
I will say this. I was very skeptical of trying AG1. I absolutely hate spending money on these things and never get into the current fad! But I decided to try them because going through premenopause had me feeling so terrible all the time!! I would eat clean and take vitamins, but I still felt terrible. So I thought I'd give it a shot. The first week, I thought, nah, it's just my mind telling me I feel better because I wanted to feel better. By the second month, my daughter came to me and said, "Wow, I can totally tell the AG1 is working!! She noticed changes in my energy, esp my moods. No hot flashes, and I sleep better. My cycles are better, plus I'm not bloated. Things regulated out (if you know what I mean) I never wanted to say anything about how much better I felt because I wanted those close to me to see it , if they seen it without me even trying to show them then I knew it wasn't just me thinking it. Now the money..... I absolutely still hate to pay for it!!! It is definitely a sacrifice!! So I didn't take it for a good week. NEVER AGAIN, as long as I can afford it, will I do that again. Feeling better is worth the money!! In my honest opinion. We spend money on other things that we love to do. I choose to spend money on something that makes me feel better so I can do those things I love to do. This is just my honest review and funny how I hadn't even put a review on their website 🤷♀️ guess I should. I'm just not one to even comment on things like this usually.
Wow.I am perimenapausal & I had the complete opposite results.I thought I was going to have to make a run to the emergency room .I still am not sure what ingredient made me sick but it did.there is caffeine in the green tea extract & Stevia & everything I've read tells me that caffeine & sugar are not the things to have in your diet once you start to loose estrogen .I was disappointed.I quickly went back to my own homemade smoothies with greens & I also made a delicious smoothiethat consist of kefir, kale,& blueberries that is wonderful for your gut.happy good health
So, what's the going price for feeling good these days? If it works for YOU, then it's fact. This nutritionist is giving us the 3rd person science based view, not personal experience. I say, personal experience trumps science based studies every time. One person's anecdotal experience, is another person's personal scientific victory. I've been doing AG1 for a month now, and there's clearly a difference. Like my daughter says, _it's part of the food bill now_
Have you tested out the product? I would love to know if you have tried it out. I am totally on board with the notion that food is always the better option than supplements, but many people don't like to cook (takes a lot of time, effort, preparation, etc.) and as a result people often do not get sufficient servings of fruits and veggies. By no means am I advocating this as a replacement, but I think I would be remiss not too mention how many people who are unsponsored individuals have raved about the benefits of the product while including it in their diets.
Yes, I agree a lot with your comment. So many people are not able to eat like this person suggested. There are many with deficiencies in their diet and of course a diet solution is ideal, but often hard to achieve.
This is what I'm curious about. I eat only a few processed foods a day because of time. I just want to know if AG1 still has some value for someone not eating whole or fresh foods at all.
I'm definitely not an influencer or sponsored by anyone, but I actually love AG1. I eat fruits and veggies, and get to the gym at least 4 days a week, but I have actually noticed a difference in how I feel after taking this daily. I've been taking it for almost a year now and my lab work I had done in February was better than it has been in years!!! It works for me, but I can see how it might not be for everyone.
I love AG1….ive been taking it 2 months and have noticed a huge shift in my hunger cravings….making healthy food choices at mealtimes much easier. No more snack cravings in the afternoon…no more “hangry” moments. My guess is that I had some sort of nutrient deficiency that’s being addressed by AG1. It is expensive…and I’d love to replace it with whole foods….but until I’m clear what my deficiency has been, i’ll stick with AG1
Our gut has it's own biome and that grows with the foods we eat, so if you are a McDonalds fiend your gut adopted to support it, but then it also needs that stuff to report a "happy" state. So if you switch to another diet your gut will be unhappy for a while(which is why most people quit diets), but then the gut adopts the new system as the correct way.
Thank you! I feel like I’m going mad or something. With every review of AG1 being positive and every comment about it is something like “I’ve tried it for six months and first I was sceptical but now I feel so much better blabla”. Is every review just sponsored or is this Herbalife all over again?😢
No, I’m a real person and I’ve been supplementing and bodybuilding for 25 years and I believe that everyone should be supplementing, but I buy very few supplements only the stuff that works and I’ll tell you what this stuff works. I feel great and I think you could probably replicate the drink with about $60 worth of pills or so but I think the sourcing and delivery of these nutrients is worth a little bit of a premium and so I recommend having a greens complex like this with all of the different probiotics, etc. included. I would suspect that really anyone of these companies would be sufficient.
Throw in menopause, eating healthy isn’t helping either side effects. Sometimes these supplements can help where fruits and veggies aren’t enough. I wouldn’t have considered this at 30 or 40 but at 55 yes I am 😂
❤ I’d rather eat my greens 🥬 rather than sip some powdered stuff in a bag .i really appreciate this . Everyday Im unlearning all of the diet traps I’ve learned and heard over the years .I’m starting back to eating my morning oats and cold cereals.
Just eat beef, win win,bet your nutrients more bioavailable, and don't have to eat the fruits and veggies... (They are not as bioavailable as animal products)
thank you, yes I agree with you , eating a well rounded and balanced diet seems to work beautifully with me, yes it takes discipline and creating a daily routine and taking time to cook and enjoying eating, isn't this better than worrying about am I taking enough pills? am I fat? am I too thin? etc etc ......... If you eat a balanced diet with awareness naturally your body will respond to this positively and you will be healthy and feel joyful and have plenty of energy.
I wouldn't say this is a true review, since you didn't actually try it. I think you present valid points for people that aren't already aware, but at the same time, you're ignoring a major consideration here. For people who aren't getting a well-balanced diet, or have time to cook and integrate fresh foods into their diet, this is a simple and easy (expensive) way to ensure they're getting nutrients they may be missing otherwise. Obviously, someone like yourself who probably eats relatively healthy to the average person won't need this. But for people who have no idea how to eat healthy or want to, this might help them feel better, etc. Definitely not a miracle drink or anything, but also could be a good fit for some people.
Thanks for your insights. It’s practically impossible to know without trying whether this supplement is effective. That said we know for sure that the company and its spokespersons are making money. That strikes me as a conflict of interest between truth and profit. I’m not saying AG1 isn’t possibly effective but I do see a red flag.
I'm a retired Home Health Aide, thanks for the information. I will go to my patients care book and get the information I need. Thank goodness for DIETICIAN!!
But what if you just have a terrible diet in general, just eating a few processed foods a day and no vegetables. Would it still be worth it to get something in your system through AG1?
Considering this isn’t exactly a positive review why are there quite a few comments along the lines of “now I’m going to go any buy AG1” or as if this was positive? Are these bots or something? Thanks for the review.
Yes. Has to be bots or folks not watching the entirety of the video. There's no way anyone could watch this video in its entirety, without realizing all we need is fruit and vegetables. That's all we've ever needed, is fruits and vegetables in our daily diet. Eating fruit and vegetables, has been the way to go since the beginning of time
AG1 has worked wonders for me, I love it. I have more energy, sleep better, and have a more consistent mood. I'm an artist and not qualified to discuss the science! I accept my results may be placebo or just feeling good about doing something that I feel benefits my health but, I think it's more likely that my diet was deficient and AG1 has covered those bases. I get why dieticians might be down on supplements like this but not everyone has your knowledge or the time to acquire it. I think it's important to recognise that AG1 does not suggest the drink should be a meal replacement and encourages loving food and healthy eating. I don't think the company can be held responsible for people replacing fruits & vegetables with AG1. I think most people agree that sticking plasters can be useful however, they aren't going to work if someone decides to brew a tea with them rather than use one to cover a wound, as directed! I don't think we can fairly hold AG1 accountable for people using their product irresponsibly. AG1 is a supplement - to be consumed alongside food. In an ideal world, everyone would have the time and ability to access and prepare three whole-food meals a day, to eat a wide varied diet and in the optimum servings but, that's just not the reality for many people. I would argue that, for someone who eats to the best of their abilities but still has dietary deficiencies, it is better to supplement nutrition than go without. AG1 covers the bases. It is simple, convenient and much more enjoyable than sourcing and swallowing supplements in pill form and more easily absorbed. While AG1 is not cheap, I'd be willing to bet it is cheaper than purchasing the ingredients individually. I can only share my experience and, at this point in my life, I'm truly grateful for AG1. It's an easy commitment to maintain and, happily, it has outperformed my expectations.
I am fairly new to AG1 and admit that I do not use it daily...2-3 times per week and I have to mix it with a flavored drink packet to make it palatable. I am an RN, so feel that I am probably more skeptical than most AG1 customers. I suffer from IBS and will contest that it really has helped with my digestive health. I also have more energy...even my co-workers have commented that I am a little "less bitchy" lately. I have also noticed that my skin and hair texture/dryness has improved.
I don't eat healthily, I'm too busy to cook for myself and mostly eat takeout. I'm looking for a supplement to help me ensure I get the vitamins and nutrients I need, what should I take?
Greens are way too bitter and gross for me to consume unless I roast them. So yeah, I opt for this kind of thing. It cracks me up how dieticians think we can and will do our own cooking and meal prep every day without covering up the taste of veggies with Ranch or melted cheese
You can just buy a bunch of fruits and veggies you like and juice them. That's what I do, I love carrots, beets, celery, oranges, apples, grapefruit, etc. I try to juice every day, but sometimes it's every other. This is cheaper for me and I feel great!
Tried it for a month…..It’s not worth it. The only thing I would say it helped with was digestive health….But that’s easily fixed with wayyyy cheaper options.
Lots of RUclipsrs are shilling this now. I'll bet no one is doing any research into it, and look at health articles about it. They just shill it for the money.
I think it would have been good to say that if somebody isn't getting balanced nutrition because they're on the go and just aren't able to eat all the fruit and veggies they should, that's something like this could actually benefit them.
Well people will literally make the same claim with any vitamin lol. This product is actually used alot by people like me who work 15+ hour days for up to 21 days stright and generally don't Have a great diet in general. So while it may not be a miracle drink it definitely helps a little. And at under 3 dollars a day I'm ok with that.
That's great your a dietitian and all but have you even tried it? Hard to take your advice on a "review" that's just hear say. I actually use it and I can say its made a HUGE difference. Seems more like the price is an issue to you and if you cant afford it just say so. Keeping fresh fruits and veggies 24/7 is a pain, that's what your paying for. Ill base my review on how I feel after I drink it. AMAZING
I seriously doubt you’ve seen a huge difference. I am a subscriber as well and I have to be honest and say I have noticed basically no change. I’ve been a subscriber since October. There is zero change in my energy levels, no change in vowel movements etc. I have another month as I didn’t cancel in time. But it’s really a bit of a scam.
I agree with what you’re saying but here’s what’s weird…. I started to look for an alternative to this nasty uber greens Suja my wife was drinking everyday. Found AG1 and bought a subscription. I’m 2 months in and it has made a HUGE difference for me. I’m actually shocked at the difference. My gut issues have been completely eliminated, my morning energy levels are through the roof, and my performance in the gym has improved, and as a result my sleep has been perfect. Here’s the negative… my energy level in the afternoon gets quite low. Anyways I challenge you to try it for a month, you might change your mind.
@@TheDulce82 A Gastroenterologist and subsequent Dietician (not nutritionist!) visit is what you need. They can do the proper medical diagnosis and tell you what your issue is and what might be causing it. Then they can give you advice for meeting your goals and steer you away from dangerous practices like coffee enemas. Even IF you don't want to take medicine like a pill or infusion, the Gastro will have good advice and the Dietician can help you create a meal plan to keep you healthy. I also suffer from GI issues, and i'm not averse to medicine and i'm doing great because of it, but my long term goal is to be free of my regular infusion visits and incorporate sustainable lifestyle changes like diet and exercise to help. Without a medical doctor and registered dietician it is much harder so I always recommend people see both. Sometimes, though, you can't change your environment such as job, family, local pollutants where you live, etc and you have to trust the peer-reviewed medical science and take some medicine AND make the lifestyle changes. There is no one-stop shop, there is no "cure" for chronic illnesses like GI issues. You have to put in the work and do many different things and attack it from many different angles. Happy to talk about this more if you'd like and best of luck to you.
@@Korterra1364 what infusions are you getting? do the dieticians have blood tests that youre doing regularly? what's a better alternative to a coffee enema?
@@HH-cv1dr enemas are not a medical treatment. They're largely unproven and not recommended by any medical doctor. "Flushing out" your gut with an enema can actually do more harm because it strips the lining of the mucus and good bacteria that keep it healthy. I take Entyvio for my infusions once every 8 weeks after working with my Gastro for 2 years. It's been life changing and I can't recommend it enough. It gave me my life back.
I'm looking at greens powders because I'm a very picky eater and know its hurting my health. For some just eating more fruits and veggies isn't an option and a lot of reviews forget or ignore that.
Me and my husband not paid we by AG from our own money already 4 months - and we find out good stuff , better mood energy , my skin get better and I’m not sick when everyone was caught I was surrounded by those people and didn’t get anything..also I’m mom if 3 years old child I use to run out iron and magnesium, I drink for 3 months first and did blood test and this resulted surprisingly me I get fix iron in the blood and magnesium ❤ so I would recommend this product, but yes it’s coast money but it’s worth absolutely
Well, I would typically agree with this review because I do think that there’s a lot of marketing scams within the fitness and health industry. I have to say I disagree strongly about this. It’s not that people can’t or don’t want to eat fruits and vegetables. But it’s the fact that fruits and vegetables have become so expensive and often go bad before we’re even able to eat all of them that the cost alone for a month supply of actual fruits and vegetables nowadays probably be more than a green supplement. Also, there’s a substantial amount of carbohydrates from sugars within fruits, and you’re not getting that when you’re taking a supplement. The point of another comment on here, there are a lot of people that are on the road or working a lot of hours and do not have the ability or the time to make sure they’re getting a balanced diet hence why supplements are even a thing to begin with.
I have p.o.t.s because of Covid I can’t digest like other and I have Mast Cell so yes If your struggling with being able to hold down your food because of digestion I’d recommend it.
Tied it, liked it, but stopped when I discovered 100% of their customer service is off-shore including the financial part. I won't take those kinds of risks.
If you cant eat or know what to eat AG1 is a simpler way of getting your daily intake of vegetables just by having 1 drink, $100 a month also pays for convience of having to drive to the supermarket and spend countless hours shopping for your veges and fruit that most likely will go to waste because you dont eat them all in time.
Because i cath, i cant drink it. The very first time i used it, the very next morning i had burning urine that turned into a full blown UTI. The type of bacteria was proteus that occurs with long term cathing im told and it may hv already been there and the AG1 fed it somehow. Idk but i feel strongly AG1 was involved. I was sad bcuz i was eager to do something good for myself. 😔
Big Fat Co are killing us in the long run. As an owner operated cooperative, our mission is to provide organic and wholesome natural foods, supplements and health care products, and to encourage informed choice through education and exceptional service to our customers and community. "Try mix Drinks Cocktails at Bar?" Thanks Great Health info.
What about the new "statements" that because vegetables and fruits travel from so far away that they no longer have even half the nutritional value because it takes so long to get to you?
"that is some real expensive pee"... 🤣 thanks Hannah for putting things in perspective, and saving me money, and focussing on my veggies and fruits... great channel, keep it going! ❣
You say that you can get all the nutrients offered by greens powders in fruits and vegetables- what do you have to say for the reportedly depleted soils which are making our produce much less vitamin dense, though??
AGI prevents my constipation and 'upset tummy' from nausea. to uncomfortable. It does agree with me and replace something. I'm yet to try a cheaper brand and it came with D3 +K2 12 months of drops and two bottles.
i just got ag1 and tried it for my first day today and i first thought that it had that gross medicinal smell some people get... kinda like how some people dont like how cilantro tastses but anyways i also thought it tasted gross.
I'm an older woman with compromised teeth and I can't stand eating most fruits and vegetables. And so many fruits are high in sugar too. I have a tiny kitchen and hate to cook. I'm giving AG1 a try; we'll see.
I am a 75 year old woman living on my own. The horrendous cost of fresh fruits and vegetables is so limiting when on a fixed income like I am. My gut does not tolerate fresh greens, I’m diabetic (controlled with diet), I can’t sleep at night (sleep maybe 3-4 hrs a night) and other health issues. When I do splurge for fresh vegetables and fruits, I often end up having to throw some out because I didn’t feel well enough to cook. Between the many vitamins and supplements I take, I was spending more than $100 a month in them. When you add in the cost of food that was thrown out, I probably save money with AG1. I ordered the introductory offer and canceled right away assuming it probably wouldn’t work and I might not cancel before another shipment. I am going in to my second week and have to admit it seems to be helping my gut issues, sleep is improving just a bit and I have more energy. If this continues to improve I will be reordering. NOTHING (Including food) works for everyone. I also know this isn’t the placebo effect as I always assume this kind of thing doesn’t work.
i bought because my son doesnt like to eat fruits and vegetables. i a worried about his health. ive aldo tried it and it help me more regular and i no longer wake up in the middle of thd night.
I feel like I’ve seen some benefits to AG1, specifically when it comes to gut health, but I’m not padding greedy pockets and paying $100 a month for it. It’s nowhere near worth that. I did the starter/sample pack, but I didn’t renew because a company who charges that much for a product isn’t doing so because it costs that much to produce. They’re doing it because they’re greedy.
For people who aren't dietitians and don't have the ability to easily get in contact with dietitians(ie most people) they aren't going to know what foods they need to eat more of to work on their health. In that sense i think putting vitamins that most people don't know to consume into a nutrient blend is a good idea. I think over saturating tho is a bit sketchy. When you say 400% of daily dose how is that calculated. Is height/ gender important in the discusion, and how important is it. Some needs seem to almost grow exponentially as you look at taller and taller people. Not to mention just looking at the callorie difference between genders. I have to eat nearly twice as many calories as my gf to stay a healthy weight. I'm 5 inches taller than her. I'm just saying they could have so many nutrients so that it's still effective for larger people.
Wow you just changed my mind on buying ag1 I'm a diabetic I've suffered heart attacks I have stents I'm trying to make my body feel healthy and I was going to purchase this product because it claims to help with your immune system but I guess again it's everybody's out the line their pocket and make that Almighty dollar well looks like I'm not going to buy this product now thank you sorry ag1 no sale today
COMMENTS: Can't tell if they are paid comments or not :) ... Ask your grandparents what made them feel good in life, you know, before social media. Well...might have to go back to great/great grandparents...before TV influence...Follow the money
There are people who will never eat the right amount of fruits or veggies. For those who are addicted to burgers and pizza everyday, I'd recommend them to supplement AG1. I drink SUJA, which is a fresher veggie juice, but she has a point about fiber.
I think all of these naysayers have already made up their mind before even performing an analysis. First of all, when you look at studies on various vitamins, minerals, and the like, you find that taking significantly higher doses of certain nutrients above the daily recommended dose has magnificent, affects on your health. Secondly, if you add up what you would pay to try to get this stuff via food or supplementation. The specifically higher dosage of select vitamins and minerals, the probiotics, the prebiotics, the mushroom complex, the antioxidants and immune support. We’re talking at least $50-$60 in pills if not more. Thirdly, I think having all of this stuff isolated into a liquid form and sourced from fruits and vegetables, and things like that, I think the Delivery of these nutrients in this form is worth a premium. So it is no surprise to me that people taking this every day on an empty stomach feel so good. I’m taking athletic greens, and trust me I don’t like to spend money on nonsense, and I feel really good. I think as any kind of nutrition or health, or whatever you wanna call yourself expert I’ve been very interested in that topic for 25 years and I think not only should everyone be supplementing, but I think, especially as you get older you should be looking for very potent Supplements that contain a variety of nutrients like we see an athletic grains.
I think the appeal of these products relates to the fact that many people likely know their diet is Deficient, and this is a quick fix way to address that. But it's certainly not an economically sensible way to do it, nor does it address the underlying problem. Seems more like the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff, because as soon as you stop taking it you're a back to exactly where you started. Personally I think these products are a joke and people should probably just make the effort to eat healthier. The spam-like way this product markets itself through RUclips creators and influences also turns me off. It's very predatory behavior. Does the company really care about their product and their customer or do they just care about how much money it can make them?
Thanks for your insightful and comprehensive review of Athletic Greens AG1. It’s always great to see dietitians giving their honest opinions on wellness products. We appreciate your perspective and want to address some of the points you raised. Firstly, you’re spot on about the convenience factor of AG1. In an ideal world, everyone would have the time and resources to prepare nutrient-rich meals every day, but that's not always the case. AG1 is designed to be a convenient, quick solution for those busy days when you can't get all your nutrients from food. Regarding the nutrient content, yes, AG1 is packed with a wide range of vitamins, minerals, prebiotics, and probiotics. The goal is to supplement a regular diet, not replace it. We understand your concern about the risk of overconsumption of certain nutrients. However, the formulation of AG1 is designed to be safe for daily consumption, while aiming to boost areas where typical diets might be lacking. You mentioned the cost, and we get it - wellness products can be an investment. But think of AG1 as more than just ground-up fruits and vegetables. It’s a carefully crafted blend of high-quality ingredients, designed to support various aspects of health, from gut health to immunity and energy levels. The price reflects the comprehensive nature of the product and the convenience it offers. We totally agree with you about the importance of eating whole fruits and vegetables. AG1 is not intended to replace these. Instead, it’s there to complement your diet, especially on days when your intake of fruits and vegetables might not be optimal. Your point on third-party testing is crucial, and we’re proud that AG1 is third-party tested. This ensures the quality and safety of our product, giving our consumers peace of mind. Regarding the proprietary blend, we understand the need for transparency. The blend is a part of our unique formula, and while we keep the exact amounts confidential, we are committed to ensuring each serving of AG1 delivers effective levels of each ingredient to support health claims. Lastly, we agree that wellness culture can sometimes be overwhelming with its promises and claims. Our approach with AG1 is to offer a product that supports, not replaces, a balanced diet. If AG1 helps people feel better and supports their wellness journey, that’s a win for us. We encourage everyone to make choices that best suit their health needs and lifestyle. Thanks again for your review, Hannah. We appreciate the dialogue and the opportunity to discuss the benefits and considerations of AG1. Remember, the best diet is the one that works for you, and supplements like AG1 are here to support that journey, not dictate it.
Clearly, on the most fundamental level, it's better to eat wholefoods rather than "supplements". It's better to eat a chicken breat than drinka protein shake (everything else being equal). But what about the bottom line? Which for some might be the cost of the shopping basket. I can't speak for the US, but in Europe many fruits and vegetables are becoming alarmingly expensive. I think something that might be relevant is to talk about how much it would cost you, comparatively, to buy whole food products that would give you the same nutritional value as this product. If this product costs 90 dollars per month but buying the equivalent in ACTUAL broccoli, kale, spinach etc cost you 100 dollars??? Plus the expense and time of buying and cooking that wholefood... well, that might influence people's choice. It would make an interesting project to focus on some of these products from that perspective.
I ordered and tried AG 1 for the gut health part due to problems with constipation and I used it for two months. It did not help with constipation at all and I really didn't notice any other benefit from it.
I know this video is almost a year old, but I just watched it now. I appreciate the information!
I think you are correct. But there is a fundamental miss here. People know they need to go to the gym and don’t do it. Same way people know they have to eat better (aka get their nutrients from the food directly but don’t do it). If what AG1 claims is true, and the ingredients are high quality, then I think you are paying for the convenience, even though is probably overpriced.
Just take a multivitamin for 20$ a month then. The problem is not the overpriced supplement, the problem is the advertisement behind it.
Podcasts like Huberman promote it and leverage their credentials to make people think this is the most advanced, scientifically backed, line of supplements out there when in reality they don’t even give you the amount of ingredients you are getting.
"If" indeed, but my money is on both not being the case. The first point, that what they claim is true, is pretty obviously not the case.
I will say this. I was very skeptical of trying AG1. I absolutely hate spending money on these things and never get into the current fad! But I decided to try them because going through premenopause had me feeling so terrible all the time!! I would eat clean and take vitamins, but I still felt terrible. So I thought I'd give it a shot. The first week, I thought, nah, it's just my mind telling me I feel better because I wanted to feel better. By the second month, my daughter came to me and said, "Wow, I can totally tell the AG1 is working!! She noticed changes in my energy, esp my moods. No hot flashes, and I sleep better. My cycles are better, plus I'm not bloated. Things regulated out (if you know what I mean) I never wanted to say anything about how much better I felt because I wanted those close to me to see it , if they seen it without me even trying to show them then I knew it wasn't just me thinking it. Now the money..... I absolutely still hate to pay for it!!! It is definitely a sacrifice!! So I didn't take it for a good week. NEVER AGAIN, as long as I can afford it, will I do that again. Feeling better is worth the money!! In my honest opinion. We spend money on other things that we love to do. I choose to spend money on something that makes me feel better so I can do those things I love to do. This is just my honest review and funny how I hadn't even put a review on their website 🤷♀️ guess I should. I'm just not one to even comment on things like this usually.
Wow.I am perimenapausal & I had the complete opposite results.I thought I was going to have to make a run to the emergency room .I still am not sure what ingredient made me sick but it did.there is caffeine in the green tea extract & Stevia & everything I've read tells me that caffeine & sugar are not the things to have in your diet once you start to loose estrogen .I was disappointed.I quickly went back to my own homemade smoothies with greens & I also made a delicious smoothiethat consist of kefir, kale,& blueberries that is wonderful for your gut.happy good health
So, what's the going price for feeling good these days? If it works for YOU, then it's fact. This nutritionist is giving us the 3rd person science based view, not personal experience.
I say, personal experience trumps science based studies every time. One person's anecdotal experience, is another person's personal scientific victory.
I've been doing AG1 for a month now, and there's clearly a difference. Like my daughter says, _it's part of the food bill now_
Fantastic, I’m so glad it worked for you, that’s wonderful! 😊
blah blah blah,i bet your work for them
@@scoobs80 nope, not at all. I actually don't work for any health care product, business or alternative medicine company.
Have you tested out the product? I would love to know if you have tried it out. I am totally on board with the notion that food is always the better option than supplements, but many people don't like to cook (takes a lot of time, effort, preparation, etc.) and as a result people often do not get sufficient servings of fruits and veggies. By no means am I advocating this as a replacement, but I think I would be remiss not too mention how many people who are unsponsored individuals have raved about the benefits of the product while including it in their diets.
Yes, I agree a lot with your comment. So many people are not able to eat like this person suggested. There are many with deficiencies in their diet and of course a diet solution is ideal, but often hard to achieve.
American diets are dog shit too so supplements are fine. Many people feel better with greens supplements outside of these “influencers”
This is what I'm curious about. I eat only a few processed foods a day because of time. I just want to know if AG1 still has some value for someone not eating whole or fresh foods at all.
What foods would I have to eat to cover all the nutrients in AG1?
I'm definitely not an influencer or sponsored by anyone, but I actually love AG1. I eat fruits and veggies, and get to the gym at least 4 days a week, but I have actually noticed a difference in how I feel after taking this daily. I've been taking it for almost a year now and my lab work I had done in February was better than it has been in years!!! It works for me, but I can see how it might not be for everyone.
I love AG1….ive been taking it 2 months and have noticed a huge shift in my hunger cravings….making healthy food choices at mealtimes much easier. No more snack cravings in the afternoon…no more “hangry” moments. My guess is that I had some sort of nutrient deficiency that’s being addressed by AG1. It is expensive…and I’d love to replace it with whole foods….but until I’m clear what my deficiency has been, i’ll stick with AG1
Are you sponsored by AG1?
@@darshnapatel4333 nope
Our gut has it's own biome and that grows with the foods we eat, so if you are a McDonalds fiend your gut adopted to support it, but then it also needs that stuff to report a "happy" state.
So if you switch to another diet your gut will be unhappy for a while(which is why most people quit diets), but then the gut adopts the new system as the correct way.
@@darshnapatel4333 I wish…
You're pissing out 90% of the AG1
Thank you! I feel like I’m going mad or something. With every review of AG1 being positive and every comment about it is something like “I’ve tried it for six months and first I was sceptical but now I feel so much better blabla”. Is every review just sponsored or is this Herbalife all over again?😢
Bro even if I told you it works you wouldn’t think about it! You’ve already made up your mind!
No, I’m a real person and I’ve been supplementing and bodybuilding for 25 years and I believe that everyone should be supplementing, but I buy very few supplements only the stuff that works and I’ll tell you what this stuff works. I feel great and I think you could probably replicate the drink with about $60 worth of pills or so but I think the sourcing and delivery of these nutrients is worth a little bit of a premium and so I recommend having a greens complex like this with all of the different probiotics, etc. included. I would suspect that really anyone of these companies would be sufficient.
Throw in menopause, eating healthy isn’t helping either side effects. Sometimes these supplements can help where fruits and veggies aren’t enough.
I wouldn’t have considered this at 30 or 40 but at 55 yes I am 😂
57yo female here and I feel like AG1 has positive benefits.
What do you recommend for a truck driver on the road, that can't store fruits and veggies like someone who lives in a normal house?

❤ I’d rather eat my greens 🥬 rather than sip some powdered stuff in a bag .i really appreciate this . Everyday Im unlearning all of the diet traps I’ve learned and heard over the years .I’m starting back to eating my morning oats and cold cereals.
I got really sick off this after 2 days so be careful.I will never order a powder green again.
This product is for people like me. I hate eating fruits and vegetables…so it makes sense for me to
Just eat beef, win win,bet your nutrients more bioavailable, and don't have to eat the fruits and veggies... (They are not as bioavailable as animal products)
thank you, yes I agree with you , eating a well rounded and balanced diet seems to work beautifully with me, yes it takes discipline and creating a daily routine and taking time to cook and enjoying eating, isn't this better than worrying about am I taking enough pills? am I fat? am I too thin? etc etc ......... If you eat a balanced diet with awareness naturally your body will respond to this positively and you will be healthy and feel joyful and have plenty of energy.
Just eat whole foods. Non-processed food food that does not come in a package after all food can be medicine. I wouldn’t waste my money on AG 1
I wouldn't say this is a true review, since you didn't actually try it. I think you present valid points for people that aren't already aware, but at the same time, you're ignoring a major consideration here. For people who aren't getting a well-balanced diet, or have time to cook and integrate fresh foods into their diet, this is a simple and easy (expensive) way to ensure they're getting nutrients they may be missing otherwise. Obviously, someone like yourself who probably eats relatively healthy to the average person won't need this. But for people who have no idea how to eat healthy or want to, this might help them feel better, etc.
Definitely not a miracle drink or anything, but also could be a good fit for some people.
How can you review something you havent tried. Just gave her opinion about green powders.
Thanks for your insights. It’s practically impossible to know without trying whether this supplement is effective. That said we know for sure that the company and its spokespersons are making money. That strikes me as a conflict of interest between truth and profit. I’m not saying AG1 isn’t possibly effective but I do see a red flag.
I'm a retired Home Health Aide, thanks for the information. I will go to my patients care book and get the information I need. Thank goodness for DIETICIAN!!
Yes what would she do without you thinking you need her
But what if you just have a terrible diet in general, just eating a few processed foods a day and no vegetables. Would it still be worth it to get something in your system through AG1?
Well done, thank you. So AG1 is a hard no for me.
I absolutely wont be without it ever again. I've got waaay less bloating and feel "good" Hard to explain but i know it definitely makes sense for me.
Placebo goes a long way lol
Confirmation bias? Cheaper and better to eat only the foods that don’t give you bloat in the first place.
Agree it’s so much better for body and I guess cu they add bacteria and probiotics and this what really for human need
Great review, thanks for cutting through the malarkey
Considering this isn’t exactly a positive review why are there quite a few comments along the lines of “now I’m going to go any buy AG1” or as if this was positive? Are these bots or something? Thanks for the review.
Yes. Has to be bots or folks not watching the entirety of the video.
There's no way anyone could watch this video in its entirety, without realizing all we need is fruit and vegetables. That's all we've ever needed, is fruits and vegetables in our daily diet.
Eating fruit and vegetables, has been the way to go since the beginning of time
AG1 has worked wonders for me, I love it. I have more energy, sleep better, and have a more consistent mood. I'm an artist and not qualified to discuss the science! I accept my results may be placebo or just feeling good about doing something that I feel benefits my health but, I think it's more likely that my diet was deficient and AG1 has covered those bases.
I get why dieticians might be down on supplements like this but not everyone has your knowledge or the time to acquire it. I think it's important to recognise that AG1 does not suggest the drink should be a meal replacement and encourages loving food and healthy eating. I don't think the company can be held responsible for people replacing fruits & vegetables with AG1. I think most people agree that sticking plasters can be useful however, they aren't going to work if someone decides to brew a tea with them rather than use one to cover a wound, as directed! I don't think we can fairly hold AG1 accountable for people using their product irresponsibly.
AG1 is a supplement - to be consumed alongside food. In an ideal world, everyone would have the time and ability to access and prepare three whole-food meals a day, to eat a wide varied diet and in the optimum servings but, that's just not the reality for many people. I would argue that, for someone who eats to the best of their abilities but still has dietary deficiencies, it is better to supplement nutrition than go without. AG1 covers the bases. It is simple, convenient and much more enjoyable than sourcing and swallowing supplements in pill form and more easily absorbed. While AG1 is not cheap, I'd be willing to bet it is cheaper than purchasing the ingredients individually.
I can only share my experience and, at this point in my life, I'm truly grateful for AG1. It's an easy commitment to maintain and, happily, it has outperformed my expectations.
I grew my own leafy greens and saved THOUSANDS! Ha! I planted a lot of fruits and berries too.
I am fairly new to AG1 and admit that I do not use it daily...2-3 times per week and I have to mix it with a flavored drink packet to make it palatable. I am an RN, so feel that I am probably more skeptical than most AG1 customers. I suffer from IBS and will contest that it really has helped with my digestive health. I also have more energy...even my co-workers have commented that I am a little "less bitchy" lately. I have also noticed that my skin and hair texture/dryness has improved.
FYI, 57yo female
I don't eat healthily, I'm too busy to cook for myself and mostly eat takeout. I'm looking for a supplement to help me ensure I get the vitamins and nutrients I need, what should I take?
I cannot make individualized supplement recommendations via a comment section.
How do you know you aren't eating "healthily"?
@@spiritsama51 I eat fried chicken and burgers from fast food restaurants everyday lol
Greens are way too bitter and gross for me to consume unless I roast them. So yeah, I opt for this kind of thing. It cracks me up how dieticians think we can and will do our own cooking and meal prep every day without covering up the taste of veggies with Ranch or melted cheese
You can just buy a bunch of fruits and veggies you like and juice them. That's what I do, I love carrots, beets, celery, oranges, apples, grapefruit, etc. I try to juice every day, but sometimes it's every other. This is cheaper for me and I feel great!
Tried it for a month…..It’s not worth it. The only thing I would say it helped with was digestive health….But that’s easily fixed with wayyyy cheaper options.
Lots of RUclipsrs are shilling this now. I'll bet no one is doing any research into it, and look at health articles about it.
They just shill it for the money.
Yeah yeah, but I don’t like eating buying rotting fruit and vegetables every week.
I’m going to try it for myself. That’s the only way to know for myself.
I've always be taught to avoid processed food with too many ingredients. 99 bucks for some blended veggies is wild
I think it would have been good to say that if somebody isn't getting balanced nutrition because they're on the go and just aren't able to eat all the fruit and veggies they should, that's something like this could actually benefit them.
People will watch this and still say "but it helps me!" I am dumbfounded.
Well people will literally make the same claim with any vitamin lol. This product is actually used alot by people like me who work 15+ hour days for up to 21 days stright and generally don't Have a great diet in general. So while it may not be a miracle drink it definitely helps a little. And at under 3 dollars a day I'm ok with that.
That's great your a dietitian and all but have you even tried it? Hard to take your advice on a "review" that's just hear say. I actually use it and I can say its made a HUGE difference. Seems more like the price is an issue to you and if you cant afford it just say so. Keeping fresh fruits and veggies 24/7 is a pain, that's what your paying for. Ill base my review on how I feel after I drink it. AMAZING
I seriously doubt you’ve seen a huge difference. I am a subscriber as well and I have to be honest and say I have noticed basically no change. I’ve been a subscriber since October. There is zero change in my energy levels, no change in vowel movements etc. I have another month as I didn’t cancel in time. But it’s really a bit of a scam.
WOW! Thank you for your HONESTY feedback! 👏👏👏 We need more content like this! That's RIGHT! EAT your VEGGIES and FRUITS!
I agree with what you’re saying but here’s what’s weird…. I started to look for an alternative to this nasty uber greens Suja my wife was drinking everyday. Found AG1 and bought a subscription. I’m 2 months in and it has made a HUGE difference for me. I’m actually shocked at the difference. My gut issues have been completely eliminated, my morning energy levels are through the roof, and my performance in the gym has improved, and as a result my sleep has been perfect. Here’s the negative… my energy level in the afternoon gets quite low. Anyways I challenge you to try it for a month, you might change your mind.
I have severe gut issues . I tried ever diet , juice probiotic , coffee enemas etc out there and nothing I mean nothing worked . Would this help ?
@@TheDulce82 A Gastroenterologist and subsequent Dietician (not nutritionist!) visit is what you need. They can do the proper medical diagnosis and tell you what your issue is and what might be causing it. Then they can give you advice for meeting your goals and steer you away from dangerous practices like coffee enemas. Even IF you don't want to take medicine like a pill or infusion, the Gastro will have good advice and the Dietician can help you create a meal plan to keep you healthy.
I also suffer from GI issues, and i'm not averse to medicine and i'm doing great because of it, but my long term goal is to be free of my regular infusion visits and incorporate sustainable lifestyle changes like diet and exercise to help. Without a medical doctor and registered dietician it is much harder so I always recommend people see both. Sometimes, though, you can't change your environment such as job, family, local pollutants where you live, etc and you have to trust the peer-reviewed medical science and take some medicine AND make the lifestyle changes. There is no one-stop shop, there is no "cure" for chronic illnesses like GI issues. You have to put in the work and do many different things and attack it from many different angles. Happy to talk about this more if you'd like and best of luck to you.
@@Korterra1364 what infusions are you getting? do the dieticians have blood tests that youre doing regularly? what's a better alternative to a coffee enema?
@@HH-cv1dr enemas are not a medical treatment. They're largely unproven and not recommended by any medical doctor. "Flushing out" your gut with an enema can actually do more harm because it strips the lining of the mucus and good bacteria that keep it healthy. I take Entyvio for my infusions once every 8 weeks after working with my Gastro for 2 years. It's been life changing and I can't recommend it enough. It gave me my life back.
I'm looking at greens powders because I'm a very picky eater and know its hurting my health. For some just eating more fruits and veggies isn't an option and a lot of reviews forget or ignore that.
What do you suggest to buy? What type of green powder ?
What happens if this green powder really works?
Me and my husband not paid we by AG from our own money already 4 months - and we find out good stuff , better mood energy , my skin get better and I’m not sick when everyone was caught I was surrounded by those people and didn’t get anything..also I’m mom if 3 years old child I use to run out iron and magnesium, I drink for 3 months first and did blood test and this resulted surprisingly me I get fix iron in the blood and magnesium ❤ so I would recommend this product, but yes it’s coast money but it’s worth absolutely
Time you take individual vitamins it all adds up to about 100 bucks a month anyways
Exactly! Or even more.

Have you considered drinking Yakult instead? It's cheaper. A little sugary though.
So you got scammed and could have just had regular fruits and vegetables.
@@corybourrier9722 is it bad to take one scoop in the monring and one scoop before bedtime?
Well, I would typically agree with this review because I do think that there’s a lot of marketing scams within the fitness and health industry. I have to say I disagree strongly about this. It’s not that people can’t or don’t want to eat fruits and vegetables. But it’s the fact that fruits and vegetables have become so expensive and often go bad before we’re even able to eat all of them that the cost alone for a month supply of actual fruits and vegetables nowadays probably be more than a green supplement. Also, there’s a substantial amount of carbohydrates from sugars within fruits, and you’re not getting that when you’re taking a supplement.
The point of another comment on here, there are a lot of people that are on the road or working a lot of hours and do not have the ability or the time to make sure they’re getting a balanced diet hence why supplements are even a thing to begin with.
All I learned was that that you’re against supplements 😂
I don't understand why people are obsessed with vitamins and protein shakes. Have people stopped eating complete meals?
I have p.o.t.s because of Covid I can’t digest like other and I have Mast Cell so yes If your struggling with being able to hold down your food because of digestion I’d recommend it.
you are brave and seem honest. well done
Tied it, liked it, but stopped when I discovered 100% of their customer service is off-shore including the financial part. I won't take those kinds of risks.
If you cant eat or know what to eat AG1 is a simpler way of getting your daily intake of vegetables just by having 1 drink, $100 a month also pays for convience of having to drive to the supermarket and spend countless hours shopping for your veges and fruit that most likely will go to waste because you dont eat them all in time.
I took AG1 for about a month now....not noticing any difference in performance or any improvement in any issues I have been having.
What is your diet?
Very well reasoned review!
What percentage of these positive comments are sponsored?
Because i cath, i cant drink it. The very first time i used it, the very next morning i had burning urine that turned into a full blown UTI. The type of bacteria was proteus that occurs with long term cathing im told and it may hv already been there and the AG1 fed it somehow.
Idk but i feel strongly AG1 was involved.
I was sad bcuz i was eager to do something good for myself. 😔
But its better than not taking it at all right. Shall i jst not supplement and rely on my diet. This fills the gaps

The best thing for a human body is a balanced diet of fuits and vegetables. If we eat fruits and vegetables daily that will more than suffice
What about the new "statements" that because vegetables and fruits travel from so far away that they no longer have even half the nutritional value because it takes so long to get to you?
"that is some real expensive pee"... 🤣 thanks Hannah for putting things in perspective, and saving me money, and focussing on my veggies and fruits... great channel, keep it going! ❣
You say that you can get all the nutrients offered by greens powders in fruits and vegetables- what do you have to say for the reportedly depleted soils which are making our produce much less vitamin dense, though??
AGI prevents my constipation and 'upset tummy' from nausea. to uncomfortable. It does agree with me and replace something. I'm yet to try a cheaper brand and it came with D3 +K2 12 months of drops and two bottles.
Damnit, I already paid the $99. Wish I had seen this first.
i just got ag1 and tried it for my first day today and i first thought that it had that gross medicinal smell some people get... kinda like how some people dont like how cilantro tastses but anyways i also thought it tasted gross.
I'm an older woman with compromised teeth and I can't stand eating most fruits and vegetables. And so many fruits are high in sugar too. I have a tiny kitchen and hate to cook. I'm giving AG1 a try; we'll see.
I am a 75 year old woman living on my own. The horrendous cost of fresh fruits and vegetables is so limiting when on a fixed income like I am.
My gut does not tolerate fresh greens, I’m diabetic (controlled with diet), I can’t sleep at night (sleep maybe 3-4 hrs a night) and other health issues. When I do splurge for fresh vegetables and fruits, I often end up having to throw some out because I didn’t feel well enough to cook.
Between the many vitamins and supplements I take, I was spending more than $100 a month in them. When you add in the cost of food that was thrown out, I probably save money with AG1.
I ordered the introductory offer and canceled right away assuming it probably wouldn’t work and I might not cancel before another shipment.
I am going in to my second week and have to admit it seems to be helping my gut issues, sleep is improving just a bit and I have more energy. If this continues to improve I will be reordering.
NOTHING (Including food) works for everyone. I also know this isn’t the placebo effect as I always assume this kind of thing doesn’t work.
I think it helped regrow my hair and I feel if I don’t take it after two days. It works.
i bought because my son doesnt like to eat fruits and vegetables. i a worried about his health. ive aldo tried it and it help me more regular and i no longer wake up in the middle of thd night.
I got a free month supply. It taste great but it constipates me. This is a very common issue with AG1
I feel like I’ve seen some benefits to AG1, specifically when it comes to gut health, but I’m not padding greedy pockets and paying $100 a month for it. It’s nowhere near worth that. I did the starter/sample pack, but I didn’t renew because a company who charges that much for a product isn’t doing so because it costs that much to produce. They’re doing it because they’re greedy.
I mean, honestly, you can mix your own green powder for much cheaper 🙈 and you have the full controll of what you add
For people who aren't dietitians and don't have the ability to easily get in contact with dietitians(ie most people) they aren't going to know what foods they need to eat more of to work on their health. In that sense i think putting vitamins that most people don't know to consume into a nutrient blend is a good idea. I think over saturating tho is a bit sketchy. When you say 400% of daily dose how is that calculated. Is height/ gender important in the discusion, and how important is it. Some needs seem to almost grow exponentially as you look at taller and taller people. Not to mention just looking at the callorie difference between genders. I have to eat nearly twice as many calories as my gf to stay a healthy weight. I'm 5 inches taller than her. I'm just saying they could have so many nutrients so that it's still effective for larger people.
Is there any benefit to taking green supplements if you do not eat enough greens in your diet?
Perhaps, but I would challenge the person with that concern to see how they might be able to increase their fruit and vegetable intake first.
great video. can you review huel greens powder they have recently done?
She summed it all up with the phrase "really expensive pee".
Can I get these 8 minutes of my life back. Roll your eyes and sigh ONE MORE TIME and see if we time travel!!

There are people who will never eat the right amount of fruits or veggies. For those who are addicted to burgers and pizza everyday, I'd recommend them to supplement AG1. I drink SUJA, which is a fresher veggie juice, but she has a point about fiber.
Just order a burger or pizza with vegetables? Not like it's exactly wrong to eat burgers or pizza everyday. You can eat that and be perfectly healthy.
i literally got a AG1 ad on this😭
What's a cheaper alternative?
Why is your unbiased review kicked off with an AG1 ad?
I think all of these naysayers have already made up their mind before even performing an analysis.
First of all, when you look at studies on various vitamins, minerals, and the like, you find that taking significantly higher doses of certain nutrients above the daily recommended dose has magnificent, affects on your health.
Secondly, if you add up what you would pay to try to get this stuff via food or supplementation. The specifically higher dosage of select vitamins and minerals, the probiotics, the prebiotics, the mushroom complex, the antioxidants and immune support. We’re talking at least $50-$60 in pills if not more.
Thirdly, I think having all of this stuff isolated into a liquid form and sourced from fruits and vegetables, and things like that, I think the Delivery of these nutrients in this form is worth a premium.
So it is no surprise to me that people taking this every day on an empty stomach feel so good. I’m taking athletic greens, and trust me I don’t like to spend money on nonsense, and I feel really good.
I think as any kind of nutrition or health, or whatever you wanna call yourself expert I’ve been very interested in that topic for 25 years and I think not only should everyone be supplementing, but I think, especially as you get older you should be looking for very potent Supplements that contain a variety of nutrients like we see an athletic grains.
Makes total sense. To the point 👍
With 1-2 months of ag1 a person could afford a juicer which imo is a better investment in health
Juicing is also a fad. It eliminates most of the fiber. Eating a fruit by itself offers more health than juicing it.
I get legcramps when I use it. I suspect it lacks something or there is to much of something
Can I take AG1 with vyvanse?
Does it matter that it's rated sport approved?
Super expensive Superfad!
Thank you!!!
I think the appeal of these products relates to the fact that many people likely know their diet is Deficient, and this is a quick fix way to address that. But it's certainly not an economically sensible way to do it, nor does it address the underlying problem. Seems more like the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff, because as soon as you stop taking it you're a back to exactly where you started. Personally I think these products are a joke and people should probably just make the effort to eat healthier. The spam-like way this product markets itself through RUclips creators and influences also turns me off. It's very predatory behavior. Does the company really care about their product and their customer or do they just care about how much money it can make them?
None of you have felt flu like taking AG1?
People like myself don't have time to do all the food stuff. My life is to chaotic and AG1 is my quick go to.
I’ve got tough gut issues, just eat the foods. None of us needs more crap in our gut, keep it simple.

Is any of AG’s pasteurized or flash pasteurized…
Thanks for your insightful and comprehensive review of Athletic Greens AG1. It’s always great to see dietitians giving their honest opinions on wellness products. We appreciate your perspective and want to address some of the points you raised.
Firstly, you’re spot on about the convenience factor of AG1. In an ideal world, everyone would have the time and resources to prepare nutrient-rich meals every day, but that's not always the case. AG1 is designed to be a convenient, quick solution for those busy days when you can't get all your nutrients from food.
Regarding the nutrient content, yes, AG1 is packed with a wide range of vitamins, minerals, prebiotics, and probiotics. The goal is to supplement a regular diet, not replace it. We understand your concern about the risk of overconsumption of certain nutrients. However, the formulation of AG1 is designed to be safe for daily consumption, while aiming to boost areas where typical diets might be lacking.
You mentioned the cost, and we get it - wellness products can be an investment. But think of AG1 as more than just ground-up fruits and vegetables. It’s a carefully crafted blend of high-quality ingredients, designed to support various aspects of health, from gut health to immunity and energy levels. The price reflects the comprehensive nature of the product and the convenience it offers.
We totally agree with you about the importance of eating whole fruits and vegetables. AG1 is not intended to replace these. Instead, it’s there to complement your diet, especially on days when your intake of fruits and vegetables might not be optimal.
Your point on third-party testing is crucial, and we’re proud that AG1 is third-party tested. This ensures the quality and safety of our product, giving our consumers peace of mind.
Regarding the proprietary blend, we understand the need for transparency. The blend is a part of our unique formula, and while we keep the exact amounts confidential, we are committed to ensuring each serving of AG1 delivers effective levels of each ingredient to support health claims.
Lastly, we agree that wellness culture can sometimes be overwhelming with its promises and claims. Our approach with AG1 is to offer a product that supports, not replaces, a balanced diet. If AG1 helps people feel better and supports their wellness journey, that’s a win for us. We encourage everyone to make choices that best suit their health needs and lifestyle.
Thanks again for your review, Hannah. We appreciate the dialogue and the opportunity to discuss the benefits and considerations of AG1. Remember, the best diet is the one that works for you, and supplements like AG1 are here to support that journey, not dictate it.
Clearly, on the most fundamental level, it's better to eat wholefoods rather than "supplements". It's better to eat a chicken breat than drinka protein shake (everything else being equal). But what about the bottom line? Which for some might be the cost of the shopping basket. I can't speak for the US, but in Europe many fruits and vegetables are becoming alarmingly expensive.
I think something that might be relevant is to talk about how much it would cost you, comparatively, to buy whole food products that would give you the same nutritional value as this product.
If this product costs 90 dollars per month but buying the equivalent in ACTUAL broccoli, kale, spinach etc cost you 100 dollars??? Plus the expense and time of buying and cooking that wholefood... well, that might influence people's choice.
It would make an interesting project to focus on some of these products from that perspective.
Yes! Spot on!
