You know how dogshit gets white after it's been in the backyard and dried out by the Sun. Yeah, that's probably in there too under "other natural ingredients"
Only downside is that many of those podcasts would disappear if it wasn’t for those AG1 ad dollars. Nothing is black and white. Everything lives in the grey.
Ryan is our hero. I have no idea how some people can be critical of him. Sorry, not critical, that's okay to be, how can they call him a bullshit artist. He represents the regular person who wants to build muscle, look good, feel good and probably get laid.
He also takes steroids and a shit ton of other crap that we don't have the money to waste on. Be nice if there were just one or two he could endorse for the people who don't have money to waste.
If that’s true, what does it matter? His programs work and his advice has been reliable. I’ve seen pretty good results on his 12 week and all I did was eat more protein.
@@akbananachucker2441steroids don't do the work for you. He still supplements just like we do and has to work out more than we do to look like that. You can look around your gym and see 25 people standing around talking that are on steroids and have no (or little) gains to show for it. This dude works his butthole off.
He did few years of complete dogshit advice. But the last two(?) years have been absolute gold. It is so refreshing to see how well he has turned his channel around.
I have a request: Based on this video, can you look into peptide companies and specifically 3rd party COAs/testers? There are now probably about as many people buying peptides (BPC/TB; all the GLP-1s; etc) as are buying test boosters and the like. They are all sold by ecommerce peptide vendors, who disclaim "for research purposes only" even though all parties understand what is going on. They get peptides from China, relabel and massively mark them up. As a consumer, you can look at the COA they provide on their sites...but the small testing companies that they use (usually one person or mom-and-pop shops claiming to have an HPLC) rely on the peptide vendors as their big customers. So big conflict of interest. Lots of people are injecting (injecting!) ourselves, with very little reliable info. Pretty please look into this--I swear there is huge underground interest.
We must protect Ryan! Literally. Some of those companies are multimillionaires/billionaires who will fight for their money and who also don’t care about the consumer. We could just be eating flavored flour with no protein in. We don’t know.
@@kentcarmack5879I think you're missing the point... these companies are making mad money and falsely marketing. We will never get a good product that does what it says because the good ones can't compete with the bullshit artists.
Two of my favorite things are fitness and comedy. You manage to supply both in your videos. Thx. It is a damn shame that NOTHING is actually what it is supposed/claimed to be anymore.
Yeah same. I was feeling peaceful and now I'm lighting a torch and heading to bulk supplements HQ. They need to prove to me their protein is legit or refund me hundreds of dollars.
Holy Shit. Made my wife and friends watch this, too. Thank you so much for all the work behind the scenes compiling all this information and for getting this out! And, as always, for the well timed humor.
This is why you’re different and I have so much admiration for you! Be safe when exposing people/pruducts…we are in the fitness industry after all…. You’re a Legend!
So refreshing to see authentic, educational and honestly life changing advice from a legend youtuber. Thank you Ryan for standing up to these big corporations on all of our behalfs! Good luck out there!!!
I just wish we could get what we think we're paying for. Food quality is garbage and now the vitamins can't even be trusted to do the one thing they're supposed to. 🤦
This is the video we’ve been waiting for. My kids think I make this shit up! They spend hard cash on these supplements and they are throwing money away at best, at worst clogging their bodies with shit they don’t need. Excellent work Sir.
I dont think I ever meant this more about a video on TH-cam but THANK YOU! I really appreciate this video. As someone who is trying to be careful about what I consume and also rely on supplements to achieve my goals, I know how complicated it is to research everything. It's almost impossible to find the perfect product!
Like a breath of fresh air that helps me learn. As you say some people really need help and take these things at great expense just to be screwed over.
From one Ryan to another…great EFFING video, man. Thank you for being one of the few (wait, has anyone else even done this?) to actually dive into this and not be a shill for promoting BS companies and their subpar products. GOOD ON YOU, brother!
Listen Muscle Miyagi, if you’re not gonna tell us which one sucks the least, you could at least put the dogs back in the videos. I come here for the belittling and the doggos, do better! 😉
Amazing Video! I was one of those stories a few years ago. I ended up with complete liver failure from a "test booster" product that was sold over the counter. After weeks in the hospital, losing over 45 pounds in 6 weeks and almost dying multiple times, I fortunately recovered. Turns out the company was putting pro-hormones in the product. I've learned a lot about the supplement industry since then and this video does a great job of laying out the facts. Thanks for putting this together, it will hopefully stop these ridiculous companies from lying to us.
There’s a lot of “science based” fitness influencers floating around, but Ryan Humiston is in a league of his own. Instead of just interpreting scientific studies (which anyone can do, no PhD in exercise science required), he actually tries to innovate, investigate, and most importantly, to tell the truth. The things that science was initially about!
Took me 10 minutes to realize this was just a setup to pitch me a startup, cool I gues... *(It doesn't change the fact that these supplements are a slop.)*
As always great video. Cant wait for the app to come out. I'm glad you spoke about AG1, I always thought it was too good to be true. Sounds like you hit out of the ball park.
Dude keep it up! I wish we could hold everyone accountable when it comes to products we put in our bodies. It's remarkable how fucking difficult it is to just make a solid healthy product and bam there you go!
@@sweetride95_69 stick with whats been around forever.. Gold Standard Whey Protein. No, don't buy it online with its inflated prices. Buy it every year at Costco. Currently $48 for a 5 POUND container. They do this every January so I buy a good amount. Even then year round it's $60 for a 5 pound container. It gets the job done.. but now everyone wants their favorite influencer protein, what's trending, etc
Unless you're blood work shows you're vitamin deficient in a specific area, there's literally zero fucking reason to be using them at all as a healthy adult.
Ok next paycheck buying a program , not to use but you dont sell shirts and this is legend,. Love the fact i got an ad for suppliments during this video. 😂
Horse pill sized multivitamin, green apple pre workout (mostly because i like it more than coffee), and creatine. I’m too lazy to even do protein powder these days, just crush massive amounts of costco chicken
@@MarkBentley-z9usaying I care less means a lower amount of caring. I don’t care means you don’t care at all …..don’t correct people when you are wrong
If they are actually dumb enough to sue you, they’ll actually have to prove YOU wrong, which we all know they’d never be able to do. Thanks for your posts and workout plans Ryan.
Lift weights, eat beef. It’s been that simple for ME but then again I’m not going for the roid look. I do like the occasional protein shake, great advice on how to choose!
Most protein powders are filled with aluminum... like 97% of them and chocolate ones are worst in a study I ready just before I seen this. Keep up the wicked work, dude
Whole foods. If you go to the produce department and you look at lettuce you know that it's lettuce. If you go to the meat department and you look at a steak you know that it's a steak. One ingredient foods that's how you avoid this mess! Now grass-fed, grass-finished and organic that's a whole nother issue in itself. Know what you're eating!
Keep your head on a swivel. The industry is going to be all puckered over this. I’m dealing with kidney issues for what I believe( no proof) comes from old supplement stack. Much respect man. God Bless.
Who says Brawn or Brains, you can't have both ? You do. Thanks so much for the time, money & effort you spend on research (and you're funny AF on top of it). No wonder you've got 2M subs. 🍾🍻Toast to 3M and beyond for you Big Guy !
My friend you make amazing content. You are one of the only TH-cam information channels that I don't turn off after about 15 seconds. Your videos are packed with solid information well researched and my friend. I appreciate everything. I will like your content every single time.
Very knowledgeable, we need more enthusias like you. Thank you for all your hard work 🙏. I highly appreciate and encourage you to keep doing these videos.
You are so right. Industry has a LOT of bad actors. I didn’t know how bad it was till I started my own supplement company. I was asked many times if we wanted to use filler and non pure products like “everyone else”.
Ryan, you are one of the last honest souls in the fitness industry and i honor that! And i always knew that that AG1 bulls**t was worth less than my protein farts. If we all like, subscribe and comment we will support the costs of a possible court case so lets go guys.
Dear Ryan, you are a fucking legend. Everyone else is selling their souls, advertising products that are expensive crap. Massive respect.
I remember when John Meadows talked about something similar. Black-something supplements? They were at it as well. I think Redcon1 were at it as well.
This whole video was an ad though
that is, if they had souls to begin with. keep in mind. all of them are often jacked as hell and a walking breathing Pharmaceutical test subject that is only capable to stay alive for the fact they have the means and income for the beast treatments known to man.
@@LostKin69 not really
@@LostKin69My main concern: Who's paying for the testing. Cause if the supplement companies can buy off the testing company this is DOA.
I KNEW it! I just KNEW some of my products were being Tea-Bagged on the Production Line!
And they called ME “Crazy”…
😂
You know how dogshit gets white after it's been in the backyard and dried out by the Sun. Yeah, that's probably in there too under "other natural ingredients"
Maybe thats what LMNT stands for? Lick My Nu... ok ill stop lol.
EVERYONE KNOWS IT’S BEST TO STEEP YOUR PROTEIN!!!🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
This should be mandatory viewing for everyone purchasing supplements. Thank you for all your work.
Thank You for calling out those shady companies. Looking forward to this new app and what else they will find out !
I’d give anything to see AG1 dissapear just so I don’t have to have every one of my podcasts interrupted for one of their adverts
Raise your hand if you’re still going strong and haven’t bought AG1
And that goes for LMNT too!
Only downside is that many of those podcasts would disappear if it wasn’t for those AG1 ad dollars. Nothing is black and white. Everything lives in the grey.
Ag1 scam
If you don't use adblocker in 2025 you deserve to be force fed AG1.

This. My thoughts exactly!
We must protect Ryan! Literally. Some of those companies are multimillionaires/billionaires who will fight for their money and who also don’t care about the consumer. We could just be eating flavored flour with no protein in. We don’t know.
If you are getting such little results from your supplements that you don't even know if they are working or not. Why buy them to begin with?
Definitely. They will file a lawsuit out of some obscure east Texas law office where the attorney is the judges son. True story.
@@kentcarmack5879I think you're missing the point... these companies are making mad money and falsely marketing. We will never get a good product that does what it says because the good ones can't compete with the bullshit artists.
Test:
- Sports Research: Fish Oil, D3+K2, Creatine
- Ultima electrolytes
- Bulk supplements Creatine, glutamine, protein
- Kirkland multivitamin
- Gorilla mind: everything, especially Sigma and Gorilla Dream
What about bulk?
@ just hoping they’ll get tested, to confirm they’re legit
@@ea_gamingdo you mean bulk nutrients company?
Also Levels.
Throw in the target up&up protein powder.
Love this honesty Arc Ryan.
Doug Flutie Eiffel towering girls with Frank Thomas lmao
Bullshit artists Doug F. and Frank T.
Hell ya bro!!!! I love the fight for transparency. May the most honest company win!!!!!
Great work, cant wait to see the results. All these companies selling snake oil and mislablled products need to be held accountable

Please dont test my protein, I have enough hate in my life. Leave me my one refuge. I'm happy blaming my lack of progress on my poor form/consistency.
What is your go to protein?
The best protein is Optimum Nutrition 100% whey isolate
Yeah same. I was feeling peaceful and now I'm lighting a torch and heading to bulk supplements HQ. They need to prove to me their protein is legit or refund me hundreds of dollars.
@@USAracing also the most expensive one
Now whey isolate has been my go to for a while, now I'm getting paranoid.

Like a breath of fresh air that helps me learn.
As you say some people really need help and take these things at great expense just to be screwed over.
AG1 is at best a very expensive multivitamin..
They feel more like a marketing company that happens to sell supplements.
And apparently at worst it’s s multivitamin with lead and arsenic
Total garbage
No, they are not. It's worse. At best AG1 is a few calories. 99% of their product isn't even absorbed
They got in cord for scam right? 😂
