I tried Athletic Greens for 3 Months (Unsponsored Review)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ม.ค. 2023
- I kept seeing ads for this product so I decided to try it out!
I used to always see these products and wonder what they were actually like. So the point of this series is to scratch that itch for my past self and hopefully some of you out there!
There will be a Short of this coming out soon... and then I'll take a break from reviews. This isn't supposed to be a review channel. I think my mind is just geared towards reviews during the winter months. Maybe because of the extra time indoors.
I'm also releasing a book - it's the Hybrid Routine in book form with some extra information. I hope people enjoy it!
Hope you all have a wonderful 2023!

Extra thoughts a few months after posting:
-I've done unsponsored reviews for a few years now, but in future FOOD reviews (supplements, drinks, bars, or anything people put in their bodies), I'd like to give more detail, even if it means a longer video. It just seems there should be an extra level of prudence since we're digesting it and it's directing affecting our internal health - as opposed to, say, a pullup bar. Some people are naturally a bit more hesitant about these products, and I think that's reasonable. Thank you all for watching anyway!
1:39 There is a clip missing here after the placebo line where I say "it's obviously hard to determine exactly how much, but I think at the effect is at least partially psychological. While this may not be entirely avoidable, it's something to keep in mind." This omission is why it seems like I pose a question that's not answered. The line was scripted and recorded, but I didn't notice it missing until a day after the upload. I apologize for that. My overall summary is still the same. I'll CONSIDER re-uploading (I know many people think this is silly but I like details).
---
I kept seeing ads for this product so I decided to try it out!
The summary: I like it, but I don't LOVE that the benefits come at a recurring monthly cost (even though that's entirely understandable for business). A long-term solution would be to use this as inspiration to optimize your diet and lifestyle to better thrive! Ideally, I'd get all my nutrients from my meals - personal preference!

Try nutritional yeast for B vitamins. It's much cheaper just mix with water and spread on avacado with toast. Or mix Chia seeds, flaxmeal, nutritional yeast with water and make a paste to put on food.
PSA: It claims to have some good ingredients, though you'd have to do an analysis because supplements are not under the same accuracy restrictions as things designated as food. Many supplements have been found to have wildly different percentages than claimed, or even be random weeds instead of listed ingredients. (I have bought powdered mushrooms and definitely noticed that my body appreciated the addition, but haven't had success in attempting to determine whether powdered food ingredients are legally classified as food or supplements, so it's possible that I just happened across a good brand.)
There is also a huge amount of B vitamins, which can make you feel great, but you can also overdose and have negative health effects.
Additionally, it's got a California Prop 65 warning, which requires businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. (Exposure to these chemicals may take place when products are acquired or used.) You really shouldn't eat things with that warning label on a regular basis 😬.
Additionally, if you're able to grow some of your own ingredients or buy from local growers*, you'll be eating things that are fresher, and likely to have better nutrition from being both picked when ripe and not monocultured repeatedly. If you can, something like 3 sisters is space-saving, nutritious, and good for the soil.
* Do your due diligence, some people at farmers' markets are just marking up low quality stuff they bought cheap.
$100 that's how much I spend on meat for a entire month. I don't think this product is for me. Lol
@@hopeforchrist7772 You can accomplish that by sticking veggies in a blender and hiding them in things like sauces and casseroles
dang you now im considering it.
unsponsored reviews are what people wished youtube was made for. Instead, it has become something quite different, I appreciate your consistent commitment to honest advice
There is no way this is unsponsored. Are you really going to believe that bs?
@@mitchellgehring4552 beimg a cynic about everything sounds exhausting. He very well could be unsponsored in this review. It's seems reasonable and honest and at the end he even suggests if you can't afford it to find the improvements in diet outside of the product. That's a shitty ad from a companies perspective
@@mitchellgehring4552 I mean, not disclosing a sponsor is really really against the law. I doubt he would risk his channel for one sponsor video.
@@mitchellgehring4552 Are YOU really going to believe and verbalize all the negative BS your brain throws at you? The mind is an excellent servant, and a terrible master
@@mitchellgehring4552 you'd need to be far removed from relating to other humans if you think hybrid calisthenics has any reason to lie about a sponsorship
I tried it for 2 months and didn’t feel so much different except for my bowel movement. Didn’t want to pay $99/month for just that so, I stopped using it and increased my fiber intake! Thanks for reviewing it though
Metamucil my friend
ALL BRAN BUDS 4 LIFE!!!
Exactly, because 90% of it is filler. They advertise SEVENTY FIVE vitamins in each pack. Anyone with half a fucking brain could call out that bullshit. Our bodies don't even intake CLOSE to 75 vitamins, let alone have deficiencies in all of them.
Did they give you a refund without question?
Same. Just felt improvement on the bowel movement side of things. There are much cheaper greens powders that do the same thing.
You've probably got more people to sign up to athletic greens by being honest that all the payed sponsorships they've done. You're a good dude
It's an absolute scam though. Eat two bananas and a tomato a day and you'll be MUCH healthier than taking this.
AG1 is a pyramid scheme, and because it's so expensive people will convince themselves to like it, after splurging that much money on it, to make themselves not feel guilty about their purchase.
Do you really think the marketing department of AG1, that has basically created one of the best social-media campaigns on the planet that comes as close to a scam as legally possible wouldn't counter the upcoming critcism with exactly such videos?! Don't be naive, this video here screams astroturfing.
The way this video reverts or relativizes almost *every* criticism into full-on appraisal without ever even going into specifics ("feeling better" ... sure sure) is very suspicious. Also adding irrelevant side-notes about taste with such a huge emphasis while panning multiple-times across product pictures, websites etc. looks really fishy ...
To make it short: AG1 still is an overpriced (almost-)scam. Get specific supplements if you need some and let doctors make test before you start to throw away your money for this.
How is it a scam?@@Xul
@@Xulgo off my man
Listen to yourself…
Your videos always have this wholesome vibes. Love every second i can listen
Honest product reviews are rare. Integrity shows. I hope this is where marketing goes to in general across the net rather then gimmicky sales tactics and emotional sensationalism. Thank you For being genuine. I already take the supplements I find work best for me(and I think supplementation is an individual thing) but I had to shoe appreciation for how this review was done.
You're super kind and I appreciate it!
I sometimes feel like I might get more credit for this than I should 😅. I think some other reviews are not sponsored either, but I just liked how "Unsponsored Reviews" sounded.
Either way, I'm glad the supplements are working well for you!
@@HybridCalisthenics God bless you friend. Keep being you : )
What do you mean by marketing going this way?
@@m.a.p.5541 They mean that they'd appreciate it if marketing in general would become more honest and genuine.
@@DryRoastedLemon if they were honest you wouldn't buy the product.
I adore unsponsored reviews.
I love making them! I don't want people to think this is only a review channel though - I just tried several products in a row. More exercise and lifestyle content coming.
Well this is cool
IMHO its only a review if its not sponsored, otherwise its advertisement
Edit: spelling
@@stsam63 underexposed?
@@David-qj1mr my mistake misspelled and didnt notice
Wow!
I love you for putting this out! Huge respect for you.
Excellent review!!! One of the best I have ever seen for anything! Thank you!👏👏👏👏👏
Definitely going to need more no BS product reviews from you
this literally was a BS product, it's horrible and absolutely inferior to the real veggies and fruits.. like are you kidding me? Have you compared the nutrition in this supp compared to a meal on cronometer or something like that? No? Then why are you assuming it's good? it isn't lol. It has almost NO fibre which is one of the main reasons you want to eat veggies in the first place, it is also missing the thousands of chemicals that make up each of these veggies and fruits, they merely extract some parts of it. They literally charge you a PREMIUM price for an INFERIOR product.
We need more reviews from him yeah, gym supplements could be cool. Like creatine and stuff.
Yeah, like all those shampoos that claim to add protein through the skull
You are an awesome lad Hampton. You are a wealth of useful information. Thank you and God bless you and your wife!
Thank you so much for doing an unsponsored review, and being truthful and transparent with your review.
And for that, Imma watch all the YT ads on this video.
You hit it spot on with the whole "it gives you a glimpse of what you could feel be improving your diet, lifestyle, etc". I'm a full-time college student and budgeting in $100 a month for a daily supplement is just too much of a stretch but I did like how it made me feel (slight change in the diet as well). My key takeaway really is that it was more with what I currently eat than what AG1 adds to my lifestyle, so I know its hard but had to get discipline to clean up my current lifestyle rather than to bandaid it with a supplement product.
A good lesson learned. Mom was right all along. Eat. Your. Vegetables.
If you're in college in the US and don't make over a certain amount, you probably qualify for food stamps. Apply for them.
Did you actually try it while you're in college wtf why
Imagine if you did both tho clean your diet and supplement
Unethical life tip.
Like i said its unethical so if you have morals keep scrolling lol
Order a amazon branded green drink powder( check the ingredients to make sure its worth it )
when it arrives say “the container was opened when you got your package and it’s unusable”. As long as you ONLY do refunds for this once a month for a refill amazon will always give you a refund no questions asked.
Ps if you want to do this but have morals remember amazon is a multi- billion dollar company that already takes possible refunds into account
Thank you Hampton for being such a bro and honest about things. You have definitely helped my healthy and fitness with simple things and thoughts like yours!
This was one of the best reviews and thoughts that I have seen in a very long time I appreciate so much
Hampton, As always, you make total sense. I'm not saying I will try it but I will think about it. You definitely hit the nail on the head when you said, what happens when you stop taking it. thanks for a great review.
Hey Hampton! Great review and I love your vids! I just want to say that I really appreciate the time you take to caption your videos. My mom is partially deaf, so accessibility is always something I look for. Most videos on TH-cam aren’t properly captioned but I’m happy to know that she and I can watch yours together!
Your mixed feelings and description of a product making your life better is something I've often felt. Glad im not alone. Love your channel!
Respect this review more than you know! Complete & utter honesty is what will set you apart from the rest on TH-cam. Great review. Thanks brother.
Dude. THANK YOU for this very honest and thorough review! I really like how you mentioned it may point to changes you can actively make in your diet and lifestyle to get the same benefit long term
Your unsponsored review videos are some of my favorite that you make!
I'm a student, therefore saving on every end and I'm seeing that my diet suffers allot from this but that review inspired me to spend more on good food. Never had that comparison, but if I see people have the money to spend 100€ a month for some supplement I will be able to buy so much fruit and vegetables for not even half the money per month, and so I will do that if that already helps.
This should probably have been the message of this video. You don't have to start at 100$ to change your diet. Just think about what an additional 10$ or 20$ in fruit and vegetables a month can do.
@@kakschoennd it was the message of the video. To take it as an inspiration to improve your diet without AG
@@kakschoen That's actually a great way to look at it 😊
@@nowayconway3580 totally. opting for a healthy life shouldn't come at a cost
The student diet is tough. Preparing fruits and vegetables can take a while out of my day sometimes I just don't have. Something like this product could potentially be a solid band aid but I haven't tried it yet.
My thoughts on this: You are a great down to earth person . And experienced in your field . And this was a very believable review .
And a Thorough well thought out review.
Thank you.
I can’t explain how grateful I am for an unbiased review! Thank you so much!
unbiased? did you watch the same video?
Not even a regular viewer of this channel but every time I see a clip or youtube short from you it's golden information from a great perspective. This is exactly what I needed to see cause I'm way too tired of seeing even my favorite fitness channels advertising this stuff because well, I feel like once I know the sponsorship was paid for it's harder for me to believe, even if I know someone like Andrew Huberman would be very unlikely to give misleading information. I may go by the suggestion and see how it/if it makes me feel anything better or worse. Thanks for the content
Huberman is being sponsored by them and they're paying him A LOT of money. Look at the ingredients of AG1, what are you even paying for? Some spirulina and multi-vitamin? It's overpriced garbage, and they're playing off the placebo affect of people spending ungodly amounts of money and wanting to feel better to justify the cost.
Love your assessment. Worth every second including the rip container. Thanks
So we’ll done! Really appreciate the quality of your work !
you really tied the review up nicely. i really liked the perspective of using it as an indicator instead of as a solution. great idea my friend!
Hey I just wanna say that I really love the unsponsored reviews and thank you so much for your content in general. Actually thanks to your channel I started focusing more on my phisical and mental health way more! By the way if i can propose something - it would be really cool to see more videos about diet from you, that's the part of my journey that I'm not really sure what to do with. So anyways thanks again man I truly appreciate all of your work!
This video was sooo good ! I watched a couple other unsponsored reviews and yours was the best 😎 great job!
I genuinely appreciate this video, thank you
This was such an authentic review, I have seen all sides of the spectrum when it comes to this product, the ones who are so clearly expecting the world to change when they drink it (who obviously experience some improvements, and the NUMEROUS channels of dudes who shit on all supplements and are going into it extremely negatively, and of course, they experience close to nothing. This felt like the most neutral, informative, and user friendly review, I love this guys channel.
This morning was the first time I decided to actually look into Athletic Greens (initial thought: expensive and I’d rather eat real food). Your review is timely 🙌🏻
I don’t usually write reviews, but this is one the best product/supplement reviews I’ve ever watched. Bravo 🙌
Awesome review! Thank you for all the time and money you put into it!
Love every part of this video. Very well thought-out and intelligent comments on everything!! I hate chewing and struggle to eat enough most days, but I try to make sure I keep the variety up even if the volume of food is low. Maybe AG could help with that.
I love that you’re doing unsponsored reviews. It’s hard to trust reviews nowadays bc a lot of them are sponsored & therefore biased. The price is the only thing keeping me from buying this, but maybe somewhere down the road I’ll bite the bullet & try it for a month
I enjoy how you present information. You're pretty good at this.
1,000,000/10 unbiased review, thanks for the unsponsored review man!
You're so articulate man, always nice hearing from you
I’ve been using AG1 since 2019… I use to weight 270 and addicted to fast food and if I didn’t eat fast food I would get strong headaches, AG1 help me break my fast food addiction by stopping my strong headaches if I didn’t eat… 3 years later I’m still drinking AG1 I weight 160 and I don’t eat fast food at all 😊 I enjoy eating healthier foods and moving around , my mental health have imrpoved a lot but I think that’s because I started running a lot but long story short I give AG1 the credit for being the first step of changing my life around for the better 😊
That's great. I weigh 150 and I weighed 144 when I started drinking AG1. I never quit fast food lol. Apart from perhaps better mental clarity in the morning, didn't notice any benefits. Still got sick. I guess you used it the right way. I need a life coach.
paid comment. Like you know... if some multivitamin changed your life then youre liar or ducking stupid. Sorry to be honest in case youre actually not paid which i doubt.
Awesome!
Great keep it up
@@briterry4961 it's definitely not a cure all, I think that having a healthy life style is more important first and foremost and then one could use a powder like this as an additional thing to help out the diet in terms of micronutrients. One thing that helped me get it together was eating a high protein diet and weightlifting. Lost body fat like crazy and gained muscle. Best decision of my life. No more IBS attacks. I tried a greens powder like this stuff except it was a different brand and I couldn't get past the taste. It was awful lol. Even when I mixed it with other stuff, it was pretty gross. I just try to focus on eating fruit and veg every day instead and change up what kinds I'm eating to get lots of different micronutrients. Plus I take a generic one a day adult multivitamin. Wish you all the best in your fitness journey!
Hey man, just wanted to say I'm really happy to have finally run across you on TH-cam. Keep spreading the love
Refreshing take, and I appreciate how relatable and down to earth you keep it. I want to try this now, but it's way expensive
So I have Hashimoto's disease. So I am fatigue and brain fog a lot... cleaning up my diet has helped, but this day 1--- my eyes are open!!! I feel like I did before I got sick... I thought it was placebo, but day 7--- still great! Andddddd, I lowered my caffeine consumption! It's a miracle!!! And I love my morning Pina colada!!!! (It tastes great!)
what u need for your thyroid is lugols iodine, tyrosine and selenium, thats the natural cure for it.
This is extremely helpful! Thank you!
That was probably one of the best reviews I have ever heard on TH-cam, and is exactly the reason I look for videos like this to give me an actual idea of what to do with all this information. Thank you! I love that you actually had alternatives than to just “yes” or “no” you should/shouldn’t try AG1.
I have seen this everywhere. Thank you for doing an unsponsored review.
I love unsponsored reviews! Definitely interested in more like this.
Thank you for your unsponsored review! This is why people like and (more importantly) trust you and your channel. I don’t subscribe to many channels, but I subscribe to yours. Please continue with unsponsored reviews :) we appreciate you!
I know this has been out a month, but I’ve been using AG1 for close to 3 months now and it has been more of a way for me to get into a routine.
On a side note, I am very impress with how you had framed yourself in this video with attention to where you are putting your subtitles; you made them in the middle which might or might now be good but you made sure it didn’t interfere with your face.
Hey, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I considered getting AG1 but the price was too high for me. I settled on getting a multivitamin in pill form and so far that seemed to address a lot of the nutritional gaps in my diet. I definitely wouldn’t have tried to address those gaps if i didn’t see marketing for AG1 though lol, so thanks guys!
I really appreciated this honest review. It made me subscribe. Thanks
Love your review and thoughts about the product. I will try it for a month and than i'll see... ❤
This stuff made a difference almost immediately. I’ve been taking it for a few months now and I have a hard time canceling since it has helped me be more active, make progress in gym, and improved my health.
Thank you so much. This is the first truly honest product review I found for AG1 since it seems like everyone is sponsored by them at this point. I've been trying out a daily smoothie lately and it definitely makes me feel better.
Awesome honest review thank you for this!
I was looking for a review of AG1 and wondered if it was all that or a scam. Then I came across your review and had to watch! I consider you one of the most honest people on youtube and thank you for this review. I think I will try it.
This was very enlightening for me as someone who has also heard the ads and wondered if it was worth at least trying it. I think I'm going to take your advice and give it at least a shot for a 30-90 day trial to see what benefit it has for me. I'm especially curious to see if my diet and current routine is that deficient, or if I only see marginal improvements, which would determine its specific value on an individual basis. Thanks for the (unsponsored) review!
I’ve been using AG1 for about three months as well, and have seen a significant improvement from the probiotics and my digestive system. I’m in my late 50s , and nutrition is important to me. This is a one stop drink that convenient, tastes good (tho I mix it with apple juice) and easy for on the go with the travel packets. I will say that it doesn’t completely devolve and it is a bit gritty, but that’s ok by me. All in all, I’m going to keep drinking it as I’ve seen the benefits.
That's placebo, the amount of actual stuff in AG is miniscule and the benefit of probiotics is exactly zero. You make them. You need to consume stuff that encourages your body to make your own probiotics, how AG claims it works is not how it works. There is a reason that they market so aggressively and placebo is powerful. And the stuff like vitamins that actually works in AG is in very small quantities and cheap as dirt if you just buy a multivitamin at the supermarket. Also apples do exist. 2 bucks for 6. 1 buck for a 10 pack of multivitamins, that covers any need your body could ever have for that sorta stuff per month. Some chemist analysed it I can send a link if I find it.
If you really wanna feel great and drink something that's gritty and green get yourself some kratom. 3-5g in half a Liter of boiling water with a dash of lemon juice. Remember to stirr up before taking a sip as it does not fully dissolve in water. It tastes like green tea and it'll make you feel real good. No placebo. Also it's substantially cheaper. 20 bucks for 100g.
@@user-lv7ph7hs7ldo you have any sources on that?

Love this video!! Love your personality even more.
Came in for a review and and actually ended up also getting inspired by this video, thank you ! ❤
I just started taking this last month to see what all the hype was about and WOW I love it! It might be the placebo effect but since I’ve started taking it I feel like I wake up faster and don’t need to drink caffeine as much. Also, pro tip: drink a scoop to cure a hangover. Its pricey but it sure is easy and beats buying all of the supplements individually.
Wow! The best review on a product ive ever seen. I like how honest you are. Also, giving people other options. What a great perspective on trying out products. 👍🏼
I'm going to try the product because you review sounded so honest and you made it clear it was a unsponsored review. With everything today is all about the money.
After seeing the ads on TH-cam over and over again and on “solvingthemoneyproblem” channel I started to be interested but this video just made up my mind for me. I will be buying this today to try out. Will be replacing my coffee with this as I am already trying to get off coffee and already switched to decaf a couple of months ago. Thank you for the video!
Thanks for this review. I have taken other green drinks and I've mixed it with oj and carrot juice. It's tasty and I definitely see a difference in my skin and feel better overall. It does bridge the gap in nutrition... meaning vitamins not the macros most people seem concerned about.
I’ve been drinking it for the past 5 months and stretching it (instead of 1 full scoop, i have 0,5 and add palleo valley collagen protein). Given that I haven’t made other changes and has been eating pretty healthy and working out for the past 4 years, I did notice the difference. I also still drink coffee. I feel less energy crash and workout better right after drinking it. It’s also nice for digestion. Got used to the taste too. Basically I love it, but of course the price is the biggest barrier.
I also do similar, I go through 1 bag every 45 days or so, about 2/3 a scoop per day, my collagen goes in my coffee. I find the 45 day schedule a good one price wise, in comparison to what I paid for pill form supplements and vitamins. I really have noticed a huge difference since I started taking AG and I love it, whether it be a placebo or not.
I know this comment is old, but please do not buy collagen protein. It is an actual scam in the wellness industry. Our bodies cannot digest collagen, so the protein is excreted from our bodies through our pores, hair follicles, and urine. There is 0 scientific evidence to back up the use of collagen protein. There are significantly better protein powders out there that have the scientific backing to justify them.
Can u drink alcohol?
Legit just start googling supplements and you’ll find something just as good if not better for a third of the price and all ingredients listed that you can Google and see the scientific data on
placebo effevt
Great review; thanks for sharing your thoughts!
That’s a great review. Well done and thank you.
Your unsponsored review has given me more information about the product than several add spots I've seen for the product.
Funny, huh? 🤔
@@Corrupted-file It's very likely just a disguised ad for AG after they got some backlash for their useless overpriced product. Since you can't prove such background deals and people are gullible as fuck, these shady astroturfing campaigns are actually quite effective. This whole video here is very busy redirecting usual criticism of the AG1 scam into positive messages (but it tastes good, and I feel good ... ) while having extremely heavy product placement (needlessly showing the website and constantly having the logo up-front).
I mean, we are talking about a company that has conviced actual scientifically-minded influencers to spread utter nonsense ... You can't tell me that Andrew Huberman is actually suddenly that dumb and doesn't care about data. You don't need overpriced and randomly over/underdosed multi-supplements, get a specific one if your doctor says so or you can't cover it with your lifestyle (vegans, people with very little sunlight)
I've been using AG1 for a few months now. Some days I've noticed it. Some I haven't. I definitely noticed the difference the 1st week. Now, I simply use it on my gym days. I feel like I don't need it on off days. Outside of that, I may use it on days where I'm feeling depressed, sluggish, or unwell. I currently have the luxury of heading home for my work lunch break. So I've turned it into a case-by-case use. Which has cut down the cost of it for me, cause I'm skipping like every other shipment of it, essentially.
What kind of food do you eat? Do you eat liver or shellfish often?
@@-whackd neither of those. Mainly chicken, rice, lettuce, bread, yogurt, fruit. Rarely anything processed
Thats how I approach almost any supplement. Just take it few times a week. Some supplements on special occasions, for example ashwagandha, when I foresee a stressful day Ill take some. Probiotics too, dont need those every days. Im considering AG but I wouldnt take it every day, I dont like to consume something on such strict routine basis.
@@jekabsd i started a carnivore diet. After 8 days I couldn't put another piece of meat in my mouth. Now I do a couple of days on, a couple off.
You need to eat more fat bro you're not getting enough, fat is 10x more essential and useful then carbs, for vitamin absorption and hormone secretion and brain performance, which is what dictates how you feel
Thank you for the review. Loved the video.
Thanks H ❤ I've heard Rogan advertising this forever and always skipped the ad. I wanted to give it a shot but couldnt find sny worthwhile reviews with alot of fluff and word salad. Thanks foe this, gonna give it a try!
I have tried it on and off and am considering going back. I do think I got the placebo effect from it, but it was more peace of mind of getting enough nutrients in a day when I'm dealing with busy schedules and can't cook at home. Thanks for your review!
I just started this a week ago and my husband asked me how I felt and If anything had changed. And honestly, nothing yet but I have a lot going on so I also gave myself at least 2-3 months otherwise its a bit unfair to Ag1. I'm glad you've touched on this too. The experiment continues :)
That's neat! Feel free to keep us updated. My wife also didn't feel THAT much of a difference, but she still likes it overall.
AG1 only have 2g of fibre per serving, that's horrible. An apple alone has 4g of fibre and a lentil soup can be up to 20g of fibre, this is a horrible product that I wouldn't recommend to anyone, the other fact is that their nutrition is incomplete, an apple alone has thousands of chemicals but this supplement is merely extracting some parts and this change how it affects the body (usually it has no effect at all) so please, buy the REAL fruit and veggies instead, it is ALWAYS going to be superior.
@@Danuxsy You don't know me or why I'm taking this supplement in addition to my otherwise healthy diet full of 'vegetables and fruits'. These things are used as additional supplementation for different reasons for different people. So if you could please mind your own apples, bananas and brocolli that would be great. Have a nice day.
@@maryanne327 Okay I can respect that.

I’ve tried this for a month and the change was very noticeable
I was far more energetic and my bowel movements improved a lot
So I’m thinking of taking inspiration from them and incorporating stuff into my diet, this video popped up on my feed at the right time
I have a bag arriving tomorrow and of course in have seen both bad and good things since I ordered it. It feels good to have an unsponsored view and from someone I trust. I appreciate this more than I can say in a comment thread.
That was An Awesome Review!

So this video popped up in my recommendations a couple weeks ago, and I was super intrigued. I'd already seen a few of your other videos and I could tell you come from a very genuine place and that you care about your content being actually helpful to people.
Anyway, I got a subscription to try it out and I have to say you are spot on here. It's evened out my day A LOT in terms of mood and energy. I'm not crashing like I used to. It brings a calmness to my focus and attention.
I really like what you said about this giving a taste of what proper nutrition is like because it has me very much motivated to improve my diet.
Well I'll be buying this immediately. I'd really been curious about this product, and I really trust your review. Thank you Hampton!
@Spin Lock because vegetables yucky
@Spin Lock here man, I'll give you a longer form answer
I really am just bad about getting vegetables in my diet. I've tried blending smoothies and such, but I really hate cleaning the blender, which ends up being a barrier to me making smoothies in the first place.
Athletic greens seems like it could fill a niche where it's convenient enough for me, and quick enough to drink so that I don't really need to taste vegetables for very long, so that I actually fill this nutritional gap in my diet.
Would it be better for me to just eat a more balanced diet? Yes. But I know my track record with that. So rather than trying and failing to eat more vegetables when sometimes I even have trouble eating food I like, I figure AG may be a good solution for *me*.
Great review. 👍 Will try it out. Thank you
I like this guy, a very pragmatic approach to this product and considerations a person may factor in about using AG1 or supplements in general. Good honest assessment!
Honest review from someone who pays dearly for it: 3 of my 4 family members are on it… I’ve personally been taking it for a year.
Bottom line: for us, totally 1000% worth it.
As to the placebo effect, we’re science nerds and take our experiments seriously. We’ve been through many different green powders, and so far the only thing that was equivalent in how we felt was when we made our own green drink smoothies from scratch each day, literally grinding fruits and veggies in a blender. But even then, we don’t have enough variety.
Finally, I’ve also been on a keto diet for many months (for neurological reasons), and I feel like Athletic Greens is getting me through this.

If your diet is already great, this stiff probably doesn’t mean much. But mine is weak. We don’t eat *bad* things… but we don’t eat nearly enough variety of “good.”
For what it’s worth, I partly justify the price by telling myself it’s saving on possible medical costs and lost productivity (for which I have zero evidence 😂), but I *did* cut back on most of my other supplements and even one prescription.
I’m on a budget and this cost IS a rather big deal for me. But again, for me it’s more than worth other sacrifices. Every now and then I forget to take it and then the next day when I do, it’s suddenly obvious again.
Can I ask what it does for you?? Like the benefits?? Sorry you just sound a lot like me so I’m curious! I haven’t heard of it before but I could always use more nutrients so I’m suddenly curious LOL
All I can say is that these powders are inferior to the actual product that they try to replicate and that is the real fruits and veggies, what worries me is that this only has 2g of fibre (which is due to the fact that the fibre is DESTROYED when it is processed into a powder) and that is a major concern alone since the recommended fibre for men is 36g.
@@Danuxsy We're never going to invent a magic pill that contains everything.
@@Yodalemos So eat real veggies and fruits instead? it isn't difficult
@@Danuxsy I think you misunderstand what a supplement means...
There's always Spirulina powder. It's the first ingredient and has a lot of the vitamins. If you can't afford the blend you might try some of the ingredients.
Yeah how good is that? In comparison to athletic green?
@@shafaet1194 not sure exactly, but there is a lot more data on the ingredient than the blend. Most of the information I've seen on AG is nutritional information and subjective experience. The data on spirulina ticks a lot of the same nutritional boxes, and increases meat and dairy production when used in animal feed.
@@DeniseSkidmore Okay and how do chlorella and moringa compare to it?
@shafaet1194 I was looking at comments, trying to find whether someone mentioned spirulina. I started taking it about 5 months ago, since I had problems with low energy and fatigue. It works wonders for me. It too had that initial "kick" for me, that people using AG describe. The feeling subsided after a while, but I am still feeling better than before. You can get it in powder or pill form. I'm using 4 pills in the morning and 4 in the evening. I suggest you give it a try, you might find it helpful!
@@Ariisu_u Alright! Absolutely, however, I'm worried that it's heavily catered towards vegans (which I'm not) so I'll be overloading my diet with things that I'm already consuming. Again, the ingredients list is quite complicated and I can't figure out glancing at it whether or not it's truely catered towards vegans, but as far as I've read, that seems to be the case. I don't know, you tell me though.
Thank you for your honest reviews!
Such a great review! It’s difficult to find unsponsored reviews nowadays which leads to a lot of wasted money.
Personally I very much have enjoyed AG1 over the last month and call it placebo but my life has improved! Also a quick tip at first if it doesn’t taste good with room temp water, try throwing a water bottle in the fridge for tomorrow morning when you try it!
This is a great review and I'm glad you mentioned the taste because that's what's always stopped me from taking green powders. I don't even like green juices. What I've always wondered is why is AG supposed to be better than all the green powders I can buy in the store, that are slightly less expensive and no subscription needed. Is there really a difference, or is it just brilliant marketing?
This is the first time I’ve ever came across your channel because I wanted to review on this product. I really like you and I really liked your video and I’m going to subscribe. Good job.❤
I think that I will try this, I have heard many talk about this product. Thank you for the honest review.😀
What I like about this product that doesn’t happen a lot with other monthly services is that I can push back when my next order is shipped if I’m not ready for it.
hello Hamptom, grace and peace brother.
I subscribed to your channel I think almost a year and a half ago, your content is very good.
I'm a Brazilian man, I'm 45 years old and I've been training traditional bodybuilding in the gym since I was 33 years old, but on 12/2/2022, I left the gym and started training alone at home on 1/1/2023, I want to and i need to learn calisthenics but some moves are too difficult but i will watch all your videos as much as i can.
Don't stop with your work, it's incredibly good, you are very motivating.
may God bless and protect you.
God bless you as well, my friend!
@@HybridCalisthenics thanks, great dude
(My english isnot good but i struggle to speak it correctly but its very hard 2me . My official language is portuguese )
@@ulissestavaressantanna6241 trust me, your English use is superior to most American millennials.
@@ulissestavaressantanna6241 your English is great! Don't get discouraged if you make mistakes, it is a part of learning something. It is a part of life. I've probably made some mistakes in my comment, and I'm learning this language for 15 years now, English isn't my first language either

Great review and great ideas and suggestions in this review
Wow, love your review man!!!
I used to make my own blend of different greens powders to add to my daily morning smoothie but I don't know why I stopped even if I felt so much better, after seeing all those ads for AG1 I thought it was overhyped like a lot of these, I went to check the ingredients because of your video and I'm so happy that it's pretty much the same main things I used to put in my blend, I'm gonna go back to using this blend and when I run out I'll probably try AG1, thanks for the inspiration and the true review :)
would you mind sharing the recipie of your blend?
I would appreciate a recipe share as well, if possible
Honestly, with the enormous price and spirulina (that’s been known forever) as main ingredient AG1 seems like a huge ripoff to me.
My father in law got my wife and I to try it. So far I feel my energy is a little better and my digestive system seems to be more regular. We're 1 week in and I think so far it's worth it. This morning I ended up skipping breakfast and actually felt pretty good until right about now which is lunch time and I'm getting hungry. We'll give it some more time before deciding to ask for that refund.
As always, balanced and thoughtful takes
Coincidentally, the ad TH-cam showed next to your video was an Athletic Greens ad. Lol! Thanks for the review!
Great video, truly shines with integrity and honesty. A suggestion to those (like me) who are discouraged by the price -- don't take it *every* day. There's an argument around how much of supplements are truly absorbed & digested, and how hard it is to know what's missing (and how much or often) from our diet. So my view is that taking supplements every other day helps balance the cost/benefits. Not getting as much as my body needs, perhaps, but still more than none. Just an idea -- I think I've been convinced to give this stuff a try!! Thanks for taking the time to talk about it!
good suggestion. I think I can afford/justify the cost if I were to use it every other day. As a Canadian, it's even more expensive for me so this tip helps
