Psyllium husk, honestly there's no difference between brands in my opinion. It just the husk from the plant so can't really be altered. Kind of like different brands of oats.. pretty much oats are oats.
I was expecting to see some alternative to AG1 too! 🤷🏻♂️ no product is perfect but just knowing the best honest choice from a professional like him is a good add on to my final decision.
Exactly. Notice how everybody who makes a video against AG1 really can't give any explanation as to why they don't recommend it besides the price? It is easily the best multivitamin on the market in my opinion and if you are spending anything close to that per month on bad food, alcohol, nights out / events, it's not a waste of money at all.
Found you via your AG1 video keep it up. For the comment section. Eat more fruits and vegetables in every way possible; shakes, snacks, condiments, sides etc. Supplement your fiber and use a third party tested multivitamin.
Tip for fiber: buy large package of mixed nuts. Unsalted. Toss them in a blender until it's a nice crumble. Bit like coarse chucky sand. But nor so long it starts lumping too much. Put in a Tupperware box to keep it good. Now toss those delicious, crumbled nuts on everything! Oats with blueberries in the morning? Add crumble! Slice up a banana with some quark? Add crumble! Smoothy? ADD CRRUMMBLLLEEE!
Idk eating hige amounts of nuts isnt good for a lot of people and they are super calorically dense. Some foods arent meant to be eaten in large quantities and nuts are one of those foods. Also, you have to make sure you buy high quality organic nuts. Not the cheap mixed nuts from the store. Theres a lot of issues with this recommendation
Amazingly helpful video! As a student physiotherapist I've struggled conceptualize how nutrition and nutritional products are impacting health and recovery, especially post-injury. Your videos have been a huge help to me in growing my understanding, so thank you for all your hard work!!
"eat the rainbow" - eat 5 to 7 servings of differently coloured fruits and veggies every day and you just cannot go wrong. Also, to reduce the amount of sweets I eat I have a bowl of apples, mandarines, grapes... on my bedroom cupboard and made it a habit to first eat a piece of fruit before I allow myself some of the highly processed cr@p. More often than not I the need for the cr@p sweets is gone after the fruit.
Great breakdown again, Adam - loving these new videos. Like you said, there are lots of cheaper alternatives for people that absolutely hate vegetables, but the taste and effectiveness is always questionable.
If you absolutely hate all vegetables in every manner of preparation and are a normal healthy adult--I promise you there is a million times more profit, financial, health-wise, spiritually, etc. in looking into and resolving that
So I've used AG1 for almost a year, and I felt better on it, my skin looked healthier, recovery from workouts was better, digestion was better, ... blood markers also improved (Liver enzymes, blood lipids). I decided then, that maybe it was all just coincidence/in my head so decided to take a break from it. My skin worsened again, got sick twice in one month (didn't get sick at all during my AG1 spell) and my digestion worsened. Been feeling more rundown as well. This is obviously just anecdotal, so take it for what it's worth. I think too many people shit on the product without giving it an actual try for any length of time. Edit: and just to state this as well, I eat relatively healthy, I eat fruits and veg daily, healthy fats from daily avocado/omega 3 supplement, ... I exercise daily (hybrid: 8 hours cardio per week, 3-4 hours strength/week)
I think if you like it, it works for you and you are happy to pay for it then keep doing it. That has been my sentiment in any comments for those who like it.. or any product that won't cause any harm.
Although not seriously I have been wondering about AG1 or possibly a cheaper greens supplement with similar stuff in it. But this is an excellent analysis and has made up my mind to just try and eat better stuff. The only problem is that Andrew Huberman swears by AG1 and I pretty much swear by Andrew Huberman so my entire world has been thrown upside down!
I don’t think it will harm you if you want to take it. I definitely think that if you eat more fruit and vegetables you’ll have better outcomes however subtle they may be
Appreciate the video. I'm an AG1 subscriber and saw your last video after wondering if it was all it promises to be. Still looking for that holy grail tub o' nutrients--even after your video today(no disrespect, just wondering why someone can't come up with something or if I'm missing something already out there). I fall in the "no time to eat therefore worried about malnutrition" camp. Not a good camp to be in when training for Ironmans, Ultramarathons, and 200+ mile bike races.
Yeah it’s definitely difficult when you’re training a lot and need a lot of calories. Fruit and vegetables usually take the hit. I think in those cases there’s potentially reason to use a greens powder, but which one is best is literally a stab in the dark as there’s little research (as highlighted in the video) on greens powders. If I was you, I’d look into specific plant extracts that can enhance performance such as nitrates (found in beets) or citrulline (found in watermelon). I’d also make sure (much higher importance) that you’re eating enough calories and fuelling your training adequately.
@@AdamMc192 Thanks, Adam. Appreciate the reply and guidance-Very much the voice of reason. I’ll be looking into what you suggest and following your channel for more well-researched content from a competent source. Subbed.
Just found your channel. Really like the no fluff approach. Would be interested to see a video on Chlorella as an alternative to a greens mix powder. Obviously with a single ingredient you can ensure you have an effective dose and only have 1 ingredient to ensure is well sourced and 3rd party tested.
The only thing I disagree with is the fruit juice recommendation, which I am open to hearing more information about. I am a nurse, not a nutritionist, yet I learned that fruit juice spikes blood sugar compared to eating whole fruit, which does not, due to the fiber content. Additionally, fruit juice can be an easy way to overdo it on the calories. I learned from my own research to eat my fruit with protein to stabilize blood sugar levels.
@@AdamMc192 Thank you for your reply. I also want to say that I appreciate your video. I ended my AG1 subscription because of it. I wish somebody would come up with a supplement that is actually good. I have thoughts on what that would look like (below). I would be interested in your thoughts. What I would be looking for in such a supplement Are an abundance of nutrients in medically significant quantities, nutrients that are really hard to come by and are that are also very valuable. In addition, it could be helpful to add in the most frequently missed nutrients, like you listed. I also wouldn’t mind some vitamins because you don’t have to have those in your total value all at once… they can just contribute to my daily intake. Another idea: since you said there are increasing benefits for taking in certain nutrients above the daily value, it could be helpful to include those in sufficient quantities also.
The small frictional change I can make is taking super greens. Not all of us have the time to go grocery shopping for fresh fruits and vegetables all the time. Nor do we have the appetite to eat so much f00d. Greens are helpful for people that cannot get all those important nutrients in. Proprietary 0r not, they give me more than what I would be able to eat 0n any given meal. For people that fast 0r do 1 meal a day, green supplements are a great source to help ensure they are getting at least some form of required nutrients in. It sure beats taking 50 different capsules to meet RDA requirements. There are many benefits being overlooked especially for the people that do not have the stomach to eat ALL that food. Naturally super greens are not going to contain D 0r K since they are fat soluble which obviously would not blend in a powder. People should be more educated in reading the RDA’s and then their supplements, understanding that 0ne has to supplement their supplements and that 0ur foods also do not make the full cut by themselves. N0 human could consume THAT much f00d to meet the RDA 0f each vitamin, minerals, phytonutrients etc. It is borderline ridiculous to expect people to do so. Besides, far too many people are already overweight, let’s not make them struggle more
Ramp up your fiber intake to fireproof against intestine cancer. I found (cheap, locally sourced) crushed linseed to be effective. Please don't overdose. 15 grams maximum daily allowance (1 to 1.5 tablespoons) because it's quite cadmium-rich and those heavy metals are never good. Crushed better than uncrushed because uncrushed linseed can hardly be "opened" by the body. Its fibres still do work positively but all those precious ingredients leave your body unused (look at your stool if you don't believe me). With crushed linseed you can use both its fibres and ingredients.
Honestly crazy how a bunch of people watch a video saying not to spend $100/month on "magic" supplements and then go... "ok what are the real magic supplements?" Goes to show you the power of marketing and how it makes people feel like they need things that were invented less than 100 years ago. If you want to make massive impacts on all areas of your health, be it physical, emotional, your relationships, psychological, etc. spend $100/month going to salsa dancing class, meeting new people, learning real tangible things, gaining confidence, etc. I guarantee you'll feel way better than any supplement. Insert whatever you want into salsa dancing......
I was hoping for some excellent alternative products to AG1 that doesn't cost a ridiculous 100 USD so they can afford to pay their influences. Obviously eating far more fruit n veg is far better alternative with many of their major ingredients costing a fraction and in bulk.You could legit mix the top 8 into your own formula and have 5-10 x the amount of powder. Also nowhere does it say AG1 is organic or organically sourced so if you select organic powders to mix you will be even better off.
i appreciate the effort you made in putting in the required information in this video but the title just irks me. is THIIIIIIIIIIIS better and cheaper than AG1?
Excellent video as usual. The supplement industry continues to exist on this premise of your body uses X, therefore you need X, and diets cannot give X and/or more X is always better. In the future, can you do a more thorough breakdown of which vitamins and minerals an athlete is likeliest to be deficient in and a food source to cover this, including the possibility of greens powders? Might be a big ask, but with the rate of information and directness would be a tremendous value.
This "effective dose" concept needs to be reevaluated. Adaptogens seem to be studied mostly in isolation in vivo and sometimes across several dose ranges. A few, like ashwagandha and rhodiola, seem to be dosed arbitrarily when given to the participants, without mentioning any particular reasoning for using the specific dose given instead of a lower one. If more research was done on different dose ranges of adaptogens, it's not unreasonable to think that lower doses may still be effective. After all, caffeine and many other drugs have effects along a spectrum of doses, and suggesting that because a certain dose was used in research makes it the effective dose and anything less is "underdosed" doesn't make sense. Not to mention the compounding effects that would occur when combinations of adaptogens are taken. That's like saying that taking 30mg of caffeine, 5mg of amphetamine, and 5mg of ephedrine together won't do anything because each one is underdosed.
I did a quick google search and it says an apple has 2.4 grams of fiber per 100 grams. Average apple is 200 grams. Just added for clarification because I was confused. One large apple a day is NOT your total fiber intake needed. Great information and subscribed
Thank you, Adam. Found you through your AG1 review. Now subscribed. Maybe it's me, but if you could speak just a second or two slower, I wouldn't have to pause so many times🙃. Great content-glad I found you.
Adam, you AG videos are awesome. I’m a problem solver and have a condition where I can’t eat most fruits and vegetables. I’ve been looking into these greens powders to help, but ag seems like a no go. How would I go about even creating a framework to start solving my problem, when eating almost anything is problematic?
It's hard to say right now just from a comment. Ultimately it will take lots of trial and error. You're going to have to start being really particular with tracking your food and keeping a diary of what sets you off. I would perhaps try a low FODMAPS diet initally
Hey Adam! Thanks for the video. I’ve started getting into insurance athletics requiring supplementation such as electrolytes. A video covering reputable supplementation during endurance racing and training from a nutritionist is hard to come by and I’d love your take if you’re looking for a new video idea.
Thanks for the comment, working on an electrolyte video at the moment. But that sounds like a good idea for future videos. I would have assumed there was loads of videos on that topic on TH-cam
Would you consider creating your own daily supplement or stack to sell? You have a lot of knowledge. I’m sure you could create something that would help a lot of people.
Thx for the video. I do want to point out that via the ingredient list you provided, it looks like there is calcium in AG1. That list shows Calcium (as citrate) of 118mg. Were you speaking about another form of calcium?
Kind of dissapointed that you shit on ag1 but provide no alternative at all besides "eat more whole foods" ok sure but people are looking for convenience and even if ag1 isnt everything its better than nothing because lets be honest most people are NOT going to keep up a whole foods diet or a host of single vitamin pills. but they CAN keep up with a scoop of powder a day. So if you dont have any alternative my reccomendation is that people keep using AG1 if they want because doing something consistently is better than doing the best thing infrequently.
Part of the problem I have is that I don’t know what ingredients to use or what I want to achieve, I just know for a fact that my diet is crap and due to multiple personal factors that I definitely need to work on, I want something that helps me as a good baseline even if not perfect. I don’t care about it being expensive as long as I don’t have to worry / think about it and it’s time effective. I lived off Soylent for over two years a few years back and eventually my body started not to be happy about it, I’m not looking for a meal replacement necessarily anymore (although not against it either) but rather knowing that I’m giving my body enough to be in an ok-ish state even if most of the time I eat crap (which I’m also trying to change). Any recommendations?
I honestly don’t think you’re able to supplement and make up for a “crap diet”. You’ll get a huge ROI from doubling down in your to improve that like you said you will.
I found this video disappointing. Most of us already know eating a healthy diet is ideal for good health. Some of us are not able to consume large amounts of fruits and vegetables, and proteins due to health issues. I expected your information would be a recommendation for a less expensive and superior supplement than AG-1.
Unfortunately there’s no quick fix for not eating enough fruit and vegetables. I did give some suggestions of how you can find an alternative but I don’t have a recommendation of a specific brand as it would just be an opinion rather than anything based on scientific evidence
Great video and I really think channels like this are needed in these times when bullshit is the name of the game. I'm personally starting to feel desperate for quality content.
Definitely try eating fresh fruit and veggies in your daily diet and some nuts, seeds and pulses. A good multivitamin and mineral supplement should bridge any gaps at a fraction of the price of these green powers. Helping your health and your wallet at the same time 👍
I think I'm getting enough fiber from nuts and seeds, but I'm not always getting enough soluble fiber (from say, lentils and beans). How important is the difference?
I couldn’t find any personally. I think they’re less likely to include anything other than fibre since it’s so cheap. Wouldn’t make sense to put other stuff in it
Well in the last section of the video, he advocates for eating more fresh and non fresh fruits and vegetables, explaining that there are benefits that come from just 200g and scaling up to 800+ So probably not super for cutting out all fruits and vegetables that comes along with a carnivore diet.
Any idea where EU citizens can and should look for third-party testing results? Also, is it so that governments aren't testing supplements for meeting at least general toxicological food safety standards? If so, that's absolute insanity.
I’ve no idea, it what like 90% of the research on greens powder looked at. It seems similar to others in terms of ingredients from my scanning of their site
Problem solver. Not worth it due to the cost. Eat more fruits (any fruit. Like, 1. And a potato) and take a multivitamin, save $$$$$$. For the "I have a balanced diet" crowd. Don't buy this silly powder. You don't need it. But, if you still feel like pissing away money, literally, also take a multivitamin. Your urine will be full bodied.
We also could really use your help in your thoughts on Kachava, here is an example of a regular person, (not a nutrtionist) claiming it's a scam, but I'de rather have your professional opinion similar to the thought and energy you put into your analysis of AG 1: Reference: th-cam.com/video/DYV-J4xB1p4/w-d-xo.html

Tip for fiber: buy large package of mixed nuts. Unsalted. Toss them in a blender until it's a nice crumble. Bit like coarse chucky sand. But nor so long it starts lumping too much. Put in a Tupperware box to keep it good.
Now toss those delicious, crumbled nuts on everything! Oats with blueberries in the morning? Add crumble! Slice up a banana with some quark? Add crumble! Smoothy? ADD CRRUMMBLLLEEE!
Why not just... eat the nuts?

Are you planing to do a video about SEEDS?
Sounds like potentially a good idea
I take fermented organic greens powder only which has low/no sugar and more digestible.
Could you do a video on Vega- the one with greens and protein? I have been looking for one with both, but wasn’t sure if this was a good one!
Would you consider creating your own daily supplement or stack to sell? You have a lot of knowledge. I’m sure you could create something that would help a lot of people.
To be honest I don’t think so. I’d have to sell stuff I didn’t believe in to make good money which I don’t want to do.
@@AdamMc192 I can respect that. Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to Break this down. This is really helpfull in making a choice on what to purchase. Much appreciated!
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it
Thx for the video. I do want to point out that via the ingredient list you provided, it looks like there is calcium in AG1. That list shows Calcium (as citrate) of 118mg. Were you speaking about another form of calcium?
Kind of dissapointed that you shit on ag1 but provide no alternative at all besides "eat more whole foods" ok sure but people are looking for convenience and even if ag1 isnt everything its better than nothing because lets be honest most people are NOT going to keep up a whole foods diet or a host of single vitamin pills. but they CAN keep up with a scoop of powder a day. So if you dont have any alternative my reccomendation is that people keep using AG1 if they want because doing something consistently is better than doing the best thing infrequently.
Swolverine greens and reds isn't only an alternative, but far superior at a much lower price.
Great Video! I would be very interested in you doing a breakdown of Huel in the future.
Great suggestion! A few people have asked. Are you talking about the meal replacement or the greens powder?
Very interessting information, but please remove this annoying background music. Can't take you seariously otherwise.
Adam can you do a breakdown video of Huel next? 🎉 We would love that
Part of the problem I have is that I don’t know what ingredients to use or what I want to achieve, I just know for a fact that my diet is crap and due to multiple personal factors that I definitely need to work on, I want something that helps me as a good baseline even if not perfect. I don’t care about it being expensive as long as I don’t have to worry / think about it and it’s time effective. I lived off Soylent for over two years a few years back and eventually my body started not to be happy about it, I’m not looking for a meal replacement necessarily anymore (although not against it either) but rather knowing that I’m giving my body enough to be in an ok-ish state even if most of the time I eat crap (which I’m also trying to change).
Any recommendations?
I honestly don’t think you’re able to supplement and make up for a “crap diet”. You’ll get a huge ROI from doubling down in your to improve that like you said you will.
This video stole my time there is no alternative suggested
Another useful informative video, thanks. Have you done any similar analysis of Huel Powders?
No I’ve not looked into it
I found this video disappointing. Most of us already know eating a healthy diet is ideal for good health. Some of us are not able to consume large amounts of fruits and vegetables, and proteins due to health issues. I expected your information would be a recommendation for a less expensive and superior supplement than AG-1.
Unfortunately there’s no quick fix for not eating enough fruit and vegetables. I did give some suggestions of how you can find an alternative but I don’t have a recommendation of a specific brand as it would just be an opinion rather than anything based on scientific evidence
Second video in, you’ve earned another sub. Great material.
Thank you for the sub! Appreciate it
fantastic stuff! thank you the knowledge breakdown
That's some great content! You found a temporary niche. Looking forward to what comes next.
My channel will just be completely talking about AG1. 😂
@@AdamMc192 slowly turning into reaction videos Joe Rogan.
Best alternative would be eating fruit and veg right?
Yes, definitely
I thought AG1 will help me with constipation, is there any other suplement 🙈
Green Vibrance is the original green powder, can you make a review of it?
Great video and I really think channels like this are needed in these times when bullshit is the name of the game. I'm personally starting to feel desperate for quality content.
Appreciate it
I would be hesitant against fruit juice because of the sugar content.
Natural fruit juice is usually better
Fiber isn’t essential to the human diet? What? Lack of fiber is one of the problems with the SAD.
Have you looked into arbonne? I have seen comparison between arbonne and AG1
AG1 is nothing more than a greens powder supplement which have been around for decades and lost appeal and suddenly a. hyped up version arrives
Definitely try eating fresh fruit and veggies in your daily diet and some nuts, seeds and pulses. A good multivitamin and mineral supplement should bridge any gaps at a fraction of the price of these green powers. Helping your health and your wallet at the same time 👍
Wheres the alternative?
Have you done a review on unicity balance? It ha psyllium husk in it
Awesome video just subscribed! Does anyone happen to have a a greens smoothie recipe as an alternative to these green powders?
thank you so much for the sub
Can you make a video about seed probiotic?
I think I'm getting enough fiber from nuts and seeds, but I'm not always getting enough soluble fiber (from say, lentils and beans). How important is the difference?
Seeds contain some soluble fibre but you could consider adding more in.
Hey Adam I am really enjoying your videos. Keep it up.
Thanks Nathan appreciate your support
6:57 damn I guess they weren't kidding when they said an apple a day keeps the doctor away
Hey Adam thanks for this vid. How much Psyllium husk powder do you recommend?
I recommend the client I work with to start with 5g
@@AdamMc192 thank you, when you say client, what type of coaching/service/training do you offer?
Is what better and cheaper than AG1?
Thanks for the video! Is there a certain brand of psyllium fiber supplement that you recommend (and has been evaluated by 3rd party)?
I couldn’t find any personally. I think they’re less likely to include anything other than fibre since it’s so cheap. Wouldn’t make sense to put other stuff in it
thank you for the follow up
Do you have a recommendation on alternative?
If you’re asking about a specific brand then no, but I’d just recommend the steps I mentioned in this video
Can you recommend a multivitamin? I find it hard to tell what’s legit.
check out labdoor.com and pick one there, realistically they will be similar
What about carnivore diet?
Never mind, I found my answer. 😏 Thank you for making this video
Gotta do one on Seed the pro/prebiotic
Lots of people have asked. I will look into it, so very little research on probiotics it will be hard to do
AG1 has Soy, Soy is a Cancer trigger.
What do you think about Ka'chava?
What are your views on the carnivore diet?
Well in the last section of the video, he advocates for eating more fresh and non fresh fruits and vegetables, explaining that there are benefits that come from just 200g and scaling up to 800+
So probably not super for cutting out all fruits and vegetables that comes along with a carnivore diet.
Yes pretty much what Mike says
Any idea where EU citizens can and should look for third-party testing results?
Also, is it so that governments aren't testing supplements for meeting at least general toxicological food safety standards? If so, that's absolute insanity.
ESFA, but it's up to the manufacturer to ensure they are safe. There are way too many supplements for government agencies to track everything.
@@AdamMc192 thanks for the info. But there are also many foods and food brands, and somehow they're managing to test those, at least selectively.
Can you make a video about katchava?
Isn't Juice Plus a scammy MLM though?
I’ve no idea, it what like 90% of the research on greens powder looked at. It seems similar to others in terms of ingredients from my scanning of their site
You are talking so fast . Wow 🤩 I can’t understand 😂
Please cover Huel Daily Greens!
Is the audio off for anyone besides me?
By much? I can’t really notice it
It’s not too bad, and it’s just when you’re talking on the screen. If you look at your mouth while listening, it just looks off a little bit
Really helpful info, but please slow down a bit
Everyone would love to see thoughts Human Tonik’s Super Green Tobin Cas AG1….
It’s me, I’m everyone
Is tonik the brand where the guy goes around the supermarket telling you how bad everything is?
What is your take on HUEL ?
I’ve not looked at it mate to be honest. I think the meal replacements are probably fine if time is an issue
Problem solver. Not worth it due to the cost. Eat more fruits (any fruit. Like, 1. And a potato) and take a multivitamin, save $$$$$$.
For the "I have a balanced diet" crowd. Don't buy this silly powder. You don't need it. But, if you still feel like pissing away money, literally, also take a multivitamin. Your urine will be full bodied.
We also could really use your help in your thoughts on Kachava, here is an example of a regular person, (not a nutrtionist) claiming it's a scam, but I'de rather have your professional
opinion similar to the thought and energy you put into your analysis of AG 1: Reference: th-cam.com/video/DYV-J4xB1p4/w-d-xo.html
Great breakdown
Thank you
isn't it better just to put 5 vegetables into a smoothie?
I would think so
question is, which ones
Why does your mouth not sync with what you're saying?
Fibre not necessary? Maybe fibre is essential.
It’s not essential no but it’s a good idea to include it in your diet
outstanding cotent
thank you very much, I appreciate that!!
Wtf are you using AI for vocal+visual+editing ?
No..
@@AdamMc192 🙈🙉🙊
Excellent.
Now do Seed.
I might do that one!
