Today I want to talk to you about a highly popular health supplement called Athletic Greens (AG1). I've been taking it for a month now, and I have some important insights to share. Athletic Greens claims to be the ultimate solution for all your nutritional needs, but is it really worth the hefty price tag of £90 a month? Let's dive into the details.
Athletic Greens doesn't disclose the specific amounts of the 75 ingredients it contains, making it impossible to regulate their benefits. This lack of transparency is a major concern when it comes to optimizing your nutrition.
Considering the extortionate price and the lack of transparency, I won't be repurchasing Athletic Greens. It simply doesn't live up to the gold standard of nutrition. If you're interested in optimizing your health, it's important to make informed decisions about the supplements you choose.
Join me in this video as we explore the pros and cons of Athletic Greens in detail, and discover why it might be better to reconsider your options. Don't let marketing hype sway you. Let's prioritize transparency and efficacy when it comes to our health.

When you buy AG1 you’re not paying for the product, you’re paying for all the Affiliates that promote the product. The affiliates create the hype, and they get paid handsomely for it.
This goes great with my morning cigarettes!
Oh no, buddddy
Same
Same
@@lee3900 heck no bud!
@@TheBroSplit huh?
I tend to steer away from products that hide behind 'propriety blend' despite how much hype it has. Thanks for the review
It has zero hype
All it has is a lot of Advertising
And thats because they sont pay a flat fee
They pay kickbacks per purchased unit
Perfect timing for me, as I’ve been lightly considering AG. Since I eat a varied nutritional diet, & pop a few supplements, I decided against AG. Thanks for this video!
Spirutein is a good nutritional shake, if you're looking for something. It's been around since the 1970s.
You shouldn’t decide against it. It’s amazing and well worth 90$ a month
Great video. I enjoy how you left your subjective feelings out of it and kept it to the nutritional facts. The only thing I wanted to see was links to the blends listed.
Yes. This video would have been 10x as great if he'd passed on the links to save us all his hard work. To save money requires a lot of time and inconvenience to do so. It is often the rub. But he could have made it equitable with the links.. a great video nonetheless.
@@lee3900 there are links in the description
Thank you for sharing your information from all the way here in Chicago.
Absolutely fantastic video. You took the time to explain why proprietary blends can be a bad thing. And at prices like that, yeesh! Gotta triple check in the suppliments industry.
Excellent video. The first one I have seen of yours. I appreciate the lack of fluff and padding. Excellent points and illustration of your argument.
Never accept products that have a "proprietary blend" ever. We should be able to determine if what we are getting is truly an efficacious dose and aligns with your goals.
Cheers from the US.
Just the analysis I was looking for!
THANK YOU
That "proprietary blend" thing wasn't sitting right with me.
Will look into your suggestions and might make my own to try. 😉
Thank you for such an evaluative video! Marketing hype or rather overhype makes me wary of these new products!
Awesome video, simply but useful info. Laid out clearly, thanks!
Anyone else get an ad for AG1 when starting this video?
Fantastic video mate, you've done all the research for me and put compiled it all into one well explained video thumbs up 👍
Thank you so very much, I was going to finally place an order with this company after seeing some reviews. You are 100% correct I have an autoimmune condition and need to watch everything I take and I already take some regular supplements.
Young organic wheat powder, every day 10 - 15 grams in 2 to 3 dcl of water... There is no better fuel for the immune system. Another supplement is 100g of organic blueberries and raspberries every day. Third, 750 ml of organic carrot juice every day. Try it and check your "Blood picture" after two months, you will be amazed. Good luck.
Great video good sir! I need to calculate my current regiment of supplements. Stuff gets expensive real quick.
Thanks for taking the time to explain bro
Happy I found you. I was just looking into it. Thanks so much
Excellent review. I've been wondering about the true value. I'm with you on this one.
I appreciate your review & price comparison since I have been considering AG1 - I think I will pass too.
Excellent video. Glad I researched before purchasing it. Subscribed!
Hi Taz , thanks for the tips on this product I was shearching info and I found you. Make totally sense to me, also because I check other specialists on the sabject.
Great explanation and loved the fact about the brain fogg with access brain fog! Never thought I’d that. Subbed my man ✊🏽 keep it up
Thanks for your video Taz, I was half considering the AG1 supplements but you are spot on with the research you made (saves me doing it) total waste of money better off shopping around and buying individually. Many thanks 👍
I completely agree on all points, so nice to see someone else out there with their eyes open, so still looking for a fabulous greens supplement
Amazing videos great work keep it up my boy
Thank you! This morning it dawned on me the brain fog I had been suffering with might be down to A1g1, your video confirms it!! I thought I was losing my mind!
Apparently the affiliate marketing system gives the channel (who's discount code you use when you subscribe) 30% of your subscription fee. So that leaves a lot less in the pot to cover other costs including the manufacturer's profit margin and shipping.
I think that 30% cut might have a lot to do with the positive recommendations.
First review I watched that wasn't actually sponsored by A.G.and to mention proprietary blend. All I needed to hear. Thank you. Best of luck with channel !
Where are you getting proprietary blend from? I just checked their website. It lists how much of everything is in 1 serving for AG1
@@mikehammond89 it doesn’t. Legally companies aren’t required to release the exact amounts of things in a proprietary blend. (Think of cocacola, you can’t expect them to list their secret formula on the can). This is a problem in the supplement world because people are buying specific amounts of vitamins/minerals. The good companies will list exactly whats in it, but most of the cheaper/bigger brands will have a proprietary blend.
In supplements proprietary blends are used to cut corners on cost. Its so they can claim that they provide all the vitamins but by not disclosing the amounts and hiding them in a proprietary blend they don’t have to provide effective doses of those vitamins.
Many of these ingredients are basically useless if you don’t take them in big enough doses.
@@moomoocowsly ya I'm confused by that too 🤨
@@WARnTEA dude google the label it tells you everything in the ingredient list. im confused as to why people are having a hard time figuring this out.
At the time the video was recorded the measurements of each ingredients were not available on the product or their website
The issue is I have been looking to replace it but quite literally 90 percent of what I come across is crap with a fancy label on it. Here in the US the only way to know if it's legitimate is by knowing the farmer.
I wanted to state that the very weight of the individual components is larger than the weight of the AG1.
Even the weight of the dried reishi extract (not just powdered mushroom mycelium) that I take daily weighs more than the entire daily dose of AG1.
that is a huge point if thats the case. crazy
You are spot on. Thank you!
Yes! Been looking for this kind of vid. AG1 has the slick marketing to be the "Nike" of the powdered greens niche. Without a nutritional breakdown of ingredients (and no need for FDA regulation), who's to say it's better than any other product on the market?
Thank you so much for the useful information.
Thanks so much for the thoughtful review
I was wondering since stores for the micronutrients in our bodies usually lasts us for long durations of time in small amounts, could the proprietary blend been design for a per month dosage to be affective in that way? You may not know how much your getting per serving but you do know how much per bag or per month right? Great video by the way.
Thank you, you saved me a lot of money in 8 minutes! 🎉
Thank you finally a decent review of this product
Beware: My 34 year old son was taking this for a month or two. He said he felt great and his nails were growing very fast. HOWEVER... during his yearly physical, his liver numbers were so high his doctor thought he might have hepatitis!! Doc asked if he was taking any supplements and said, yes, so he stopped taking it. Numbers are going back down now.
what numbers were so high? how much was he taking daily? more than the one dose? and also, does he drink alcohol? how much?
@@Lauren-vd4qe He's young and healthy. Taking as directed. Occasional drinker. Not sure of test, it was part of his yearly physical. He went back and everything is normal now.
im not convinced a green powder drink wd do that unless he was taking too much or something else triggered it.
@@Lauren-vd4qe Well, he didn't have hepatitis B. Take it at your own risk or do you work for their company? One of their gamer friends said the same thing happened to him as well taking it. I was going to buy some for myself but now I'm not.
no i dont work for their company, i believe it happened, yes. does he take any other supplements? makes me wonder if hes overdoing something to have that reaction...I have the active greens formula, i have not compared the ingredients; very good reviews on amazon for the active greens brand....i had some...tasted fine although i think it lowered my blood pressure...@@taradevine6026
Great job mate 👍🏼
Everyone needs a little Taz Aldeek!
I'm so glad I watched this. Thank you.
Good video. You provided legitimate criticism without completely bashing the product. I think I'm going to give it a shot, although it is VERY expensive considering there are other options out there in the greens market that are a lot cheaper
I’ve been taking it for a month and absolutely love it! I feel so much better
@@kittkatdavis1437paid supported of AG1 🤢
Good video, I was about to buy Athletic Greens loads of ppl online shilling it hard
thank you for the brutally honest review. I was considering buying them, but now I'm like no way.
I am testing this now, energy levels are high, sleep has actually shortened from 9 hrs to 7hrs with a deep sleep feeling, I feel great.
thanks. this video was needed
Thank you, will try it with barley grass.
Great review!, thanks 👍
I’m very shocked you only have 1K subscribers. Just from looking at the video I assumed it was way more. You’re subscriber list is going to explode. Keep up the good work 👍 you earned yourself a new subscriber, looking forward to watching your channel grow
Thank you 🙏
great breakdown, great video! do you have any suggestions for a PREbiotic fiber supplement?
Your cost comparison was interesting. However it could be confusing to navigate all the different products available online to try to get a cheaper price with still really good ingredients
@@tazaldeek I recently stopped taking all supplements because I didn’t find enough scientific evidence that supports the cost/benefit of supplements
@@matthewsharayko7463depends on your diet also
@@matthewsharayko7463 just try a living a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Best of lucm
This dude made a brutally honest review of his girlfriend's present for him-- also this dude is the least disgusted I've ever seen anybody look when drinking AG1
Also it was a present he specifically asked for lol so his critiques are things he could have and probably did know before he asked for it. For example he doesn’t like it’s a proprietary blend…which is extremely clear when you visit their site..so he either never actually looked into it literally at all or he knew the issues before he asked for it.
That is why I have been taking Green Vibrance by Vibrant Health for over 10 years. Their complete ingredient transparency is un paralleled. Now that they have the GV+Protein it is a no brainer. Every time their is a new kid on the block like AG or Kylea TL I am always tempted to switch and if I do I always finding myself switching back.
AG is hardly a new kid on the block though. They’ve been around longer than you’ve been taking your supplement. How’s the texture/clumpiness/taste of Green Vibrance? Have you tried AG? What’s a comparison between the two if so?
Yes "Green Vibrance" is one of the greats. They also list their vitamin and mineral content and it is very comprehensive. Many of the other products in Health Food stores next to GV have either very low or no vitamin and mineral content even listed.
Is this supposed to be a full vitamin blends as well?
Thanks! I decided to try!
I agreed with your video review of Athletic Greens (AG1), Taz. I never tried it, and my main reason is its current "extortionate" price. I simply cannot afford it for my household budget.
Nice honest review, definitely was considering it, but now, definitely not. Saved me a bunch of money, thanks!
I don't use this brand but the money I save in extra meals for my greens powder blend more than pays for itself. Skip 2 restaurant meals a month and you are good.
Edit: also have to consider bioavailability of these nutrients vs nutrient pills
Coming from a nutritionist, there is absolutely a benefit for some people to take probiotics on a daily basis. But, it is important to consider, which strains, etc. but I’ve taken probiotics daily for years and they have dramatically changed my day just for the positive
Hi. Would you mind sharing which probiotics you take?
Why do i fart a lot after the 1st month of taking probiotic?
I came here because I saw that AH took this in his morning routine stating it didn’t break a fast and I was wondering if this was so. Some greens mixes have quite a bit of carbs. I’ve seen some as high as 11 grams-that would break a fast unless there’s something I don’t understand about fasting.
You have to take into consideration that a pill doesn't contain phytonutrients and dried plants have similiar phytonutrient profile to fresh ones.
I guess the real question to ask yourself is this: "Can we actually trust that what the label of any of these products is accurate and true?" The supplement industry is rife with products that don't actually contain much of anything more than fillers and there are many sources out there proving that.
I think the bigger question is can we trust any reviews that can be found on TH-cam or anywhere else on the internet?
its true. its invenstor is bill gate and clinton foundation
@@jakemenard2593 I think the bigger question is can we trust anyone other than ourselves? Soylent green is people. Flat earth is reality.
Proprietary blends should be the red flag not to buy it!
@@mandamank6846yep
Ohhh thanks for this video!
Thank you for this video, I was tempted to actually order AG1 about 10 minutes ago. Now I’m going to be looking into other options.
Moringa is very helpful for many things. Check it out
i got a bag of the stuff and was thinking about a year sub for the product. But i wanted to do some research and now not so sure. A ton of extra stuff you really dont need that makes expensive pee and your 'bathroom' time forest green.
Same here!
I know it’s been half a year but keep in mind most other products are lower doses so while it’s less money per serving, the serving itself is better generally from athletic greens.
I'll add it to the list 🙏
I love it. Life changing.
That just saved me $100. Just for the simple fact I need to know how much of something I'm taking per day. This could become a really big issue if taking other supplements combined with this
Pleasantly surprised by this video - Incredibly well put together and succinct. I can see this channel blowing up.
Excellent video thank you 😊
I'm surprised you didn't mention AG (along with other green powders) Have heavy metals in them, Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, and Mercury.
Thanks for posting,
quality content u deserve more subs
Thanks for talking some sense into me :D
I think you did a really good job doing a critique just based on personal experience. And you are right 100% that the price is a significant point. I have been taking AG1 for about two months now. I bought it because I eat healthy, but but still lack a lot of vegetables in my diet.
I take meds that back up my system something fierce. It has regulated my movements. I find it wakes me up in the morning better than coffee and I no longer feel I need a nap mid-day. I find it has also regulated my hunger. Right now I'm losing weight (2-3 lbs/week) and I'm not hungry. Now is that worth the money?!?
So I buy the two month supply for $160. I also found that I get the same benefits listed above taking it every other day (3-4 times a week). That comes out to $40 per month... Much more doable.
Are there better and cheaper alternatives, I'm sure there are, you just proved it. Still, AG1 is quick and easy so I'll give it a few more months and see if it's something I still want to pay for.
Thanks again for the video.
Hey mate, great comprehensive vid. Just curious, so I i was to take, the vitamins and minerals mix, greens blend, adaptogen mix and mushroom, would I need to take other vitamins? I am pretty healthy, it's more just to fill in any holes I may have with diet.
The supplement ANIMAL Greens and Jocko Greens lay out ALL the ingredients. I'm currently debating on them, No Blends, ANIMAL seems to have a 100mg blend not 100% tho, listed check them out
Great videos - thanks!
Great Review 👌
great review. Thanks.
Good points. I don't expect any greens product to supply everything, but am disappointed that the potassium and Magnesium is not at a daily requirement level. I am taking those minerals by pill form now and am looking for a method that does not require me to make my own. Storing enough vegetables for 8 cups a day is overwhelming. I'm looking for a supplement that covers part of the need. And I am tired of throwing rotten vegetables away that I can't get to quick enough. THAT is expensive too; quite likely more than the $108/month (US).
Isn't potassium supplementation regulated to levels well below the daily amount?
Can you store Frozen vegetables? I had the same problem as you until I did this now I can buy in bulk and get zero waste just pull what you need from the freezer
@@bl1398 Certain veggies, yes. Greens breakdown and wilt when frozen and thawed
Vegetables are always better than a green chemical powder.. Taking pills and powders is not natural.
Please buy a juicer and juice the vegetables you can't eat in time instead of freezing or throwing them away
Cool. Subscribed!
Taz, I'd agree with all your points here. Having taken multiple different supplements over the last 30 years, I recently gave AG1 a go for two months after seeing Derek @ more plates, more dates give a shout-out to the product. $94 a month (I'm in the US), and I've felt no benefits. I do not take any supplements besides Whey Isolate and eat as cleanly as possible. The proprietary blend is a big red flag for me, even more so than the so-so taste. IMO the cost is directly related to the lavish marketing, packaging, and sponsorship of influencers ( Derek @ More plates included!)
"Slick marketing"... Exactly.
The "Apple products hype", if you will.
@@bjtucker5 Apple products are actually good though
@@seekersudarshan2078🤨
Don’t buy anything because of these TH-cam grifters are promoting it. That’s how they get paid they don’t give a dam about anything else
Maybe it would benefit people who dont have a clean diet?
Well my body is under stress 24/7 and has been for over 30 years. I used AG1 for a little over a year and I’m just about to go back on it, and I mean just about to, then I seen your video. I liked it ok but now that I’ve been off it for about 4 months I’ve been sitting here thinking” what did it do for me “ and if I have to think that hard maybe I should rethink this. I see your video is almost a year old, so did you keep using AG1 or did you find something better? I would love to know. My names David. Thanks for the video, really made me stop to think. Cheers. Don’t let the ( cheers) fool ya, I’m Canadian.
Great video thank you.
Exactly what I've been looking for.
I take it every other day. Cuts the price in half
I take it Monday Wed Friday lol even better ....
Thank you for this information, had fougth on this product for a wihle, but thanks to your video i got cold feet. Spenat and cale, withe,green, broccoli, flowercolli etc etc. The product seems like a roulette whell to mee.
the "proprietary ingredients" are a dealbreaker. Great job with the video!
Absolutely. Also, knowing how supplements such as these are being made it wouldn't surprise me if they cut corners for all kinds of shenanigans.
Not knowing how much of any given ingredient is present is a huge red flag for me!
@@roaldruss4211 Sure you know. For example magnesium 26mg. etc.
google the label it tells you everything thats in the blend
I appreciate the video, but I’ve been using Ag1 for a week and a half now and I feel amazing. The price is steep, but I’m very happy with it so far.
Great video!
This was great!
Great video! How does AG1 compare to Greens Blend?
I think AG is great for those who are intermittent fasting. You can still get all of your vital nutrients while only eating one meal a day. If you break it down, you would be spending more than $100 U.S. dollars on that food anyway (if you were eating 2 or 3 meals a day). People will spend $5 on a cup of coffee practically every morning, but they won't spend $3 and some change every day on a glass of nutrients (far better for you than a cup of acidic coffee). If some place like Starbucks made you pay $100 at the end of each month for your coffee allowance, people would say that's too high. It's psychological. People don't notice how much they're spending until after they have already spent it.
It's all chemical rubbish. Avoid packeted products and consume natural stuff. Much healthier.
V good 👍
Intermittent fasting gives you time to cook a nice big normal meal for dinner full of all sorts of cooked veggies and yummy meat etc. You're not going to want to chug down a basic green smoothie every day after starving yourself. Go for real food.
All supplements are a scam if not prescribed by a nutritionist
more than 100 dollars for 3 meals?????What are you normally eating. gold, rubies and diamonds????
There's something to be said about bioavailability and also competing products in the same category as AG1 that weren't addressed in this video. I'd be curious to know if the value proposition changes. Also the form of pre and probiotics matters. Eating a cup of yogurt every day is a good probiotic and doesnt generally hurt anyone. How is that different from what's in the pill vs what's in AG1...interesting questions
There is Kachava in the UK?, if yes, how it compare?. Move to Europe but seems there is not present where I live( Austria)
Awesome video 👍
I noticed a difference in 2 days, more energy and other good stuff. Also I have reflux issues and this has helped, I think it's the probiotics. I think it's very expensive. But I take half the recommended as I don't think my diet is totally deficient
I'm the same - although I freely admit that it could be placebo effect. I have had others (who didn't know I started with AG1) mention that I seemed to be more "on top" of things and "sharper" than recently before. I don't know that I'll take it every day or go to an "as needed".
Well caffeine does tend to make people feel more energized.
sorry maybe I misunderstood something but there is an analytical list of ingredients with quantities (u show it). How exactly isn't the exact quantity referred-is to it measured with some statistical sampling or its theoretical perfect division? Do you mean because it is randomly mixed and contains multiple dosages you may scoop the imperfect dosage, assuming in excess = harmful? if so how likely is it to take an unhealthy dose of ashwagandha, lottery+metorite in head lucky? I would hope there are some regulations about the quantities they mention at such a price. Same for excess probiotics. Thank you for this review
What are your thoughts on Nuzest's Good Green Vitality as a cheaper alternative? Thanks.
The ag1 advert playing before the video 😂😂
You just made me a new sub! Nice review.. Im on the same side as you are.
Great video 👍
AG1 commercial was the first one served to me by TH-cam
