While greens powders have gained popularity as a convenient and quick way to boost nutrient intake, they may not always be a good idea to incorporate into your nutritional regimen. Here are a few reasons why:
1. Lack of Nutritional Diversity: Greens powders typically contain a blend of various powdered vegetables, fruits, and herbs. However, they often lack the nutritional diversity found in whole, fresh foods. Whole foods offer a wide array of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals that work synergistically to support optimal health. Relying solely on a greens powder may mean missing out on the benefits of consuming a variety of whole foods.
2. Reduced Fiber Content: One of the drawbacks of greens powders is that they are usually low in fiber compared to whole fruits and vegetables. Fiber plays a crucial role in digestion, promoting satiety, regulating blood sugar levels, and maintaining a healthy gut. By opting for a greens powder instead of consuming whole foods, you may be depriving your body of the necessary fiber intake.
3. Nutrient Loss: Processing and storing greens powders can result in nutrient loss. Certain nutrients, such as vitamin C and some B vitamins, are particularly vulnerable to degradation due to exposure to light, heat, and air. Consequently, the nutritional value of greens powders may not be as high as that of fresh produce.
4. Potential Contamination and Quality Issues: The production process of greens powders involves sourcing and drying vegetables, which may carry the risk of contamination with bacteria, pesticides, or heavy metals. Moreover, the quality and potency of greens powders can vary significantly between brands, making it essential to choose a reputable one.
5. Cost Considerations: Greens powders can be quite expensive, especially when compared to purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables. While they may offer convenience, they might not be the most cost-effective option for meeting your nutritional needs.
In conclusion, while greens powders can provide a quick and convenient source of nutrients, they may not always be the best choice for a balanced nutritional regimen. Incorporating a wide variety of whole, fresh fruits and vegetables into your diet will offer a greater range of nutrients and fiber, supporting overall health and well-being. Greens powders can be used as a supplement occasionally, but they should not replace the benefits of a diverse, whole-food-based diet.

The fact you don’t take payment for your videos and reviews makes your content some of the most real info on TH-cam, thanks James. Paid influencers are the most immoral form of marketing we have to put up with these days, it’s actually pretty disgraceful.
Weird how you say that yet nobody ever calls out the big names for doing precisely that paid influencing (eg Andrew Huberman and Chris Williamson)
It should be the default, although if a genuine and intelligent person were to be sponsored by a product that they liked, I don't see anything wrong.
He is selling a fitness program too (nothing wrong with that), which definitely has more credibility if he shows how impartial and unbiased he is.
Unfortunately, attribution in nutritional science is extremely difficult to prove. That’s why you find even peer-reviewed scientific papers with contradicting findings. Olive oil is a good example of ambivalence and contradicting research. We live in a world where influencers can sell anything apparently…never mind AG1, how about dodgy energy drinks 😏👍
That's a tricky one because if it's full-time occupation, he needs to male it pay but the integrity will always be compromised if he's having sponsors. Have to respect that for as long as ge can sustain it but I wouldn't judge if he did.
It's not paid influencers who are immoral, it's ones who take any promo they can who are immoral. Imagine loving a product and being paid to share it.
AG1 was literally the ad for this video 😂
So happy to see someone finally be honest about this company! It’s also becoming a larger issue on this platform now- where brands like better help and AG1 are everywhere and I’m hoping TH-camrs catch on that repeating the same ads so many times could hurt their business and engagement especially if these brands a super pricey and not transparent
Same!😂
Ah, you hope for the market-based self-regulation, but no. Ads work, the money is insane and the feedback mechanisms have a very small effect - the voices of the Hubermans and Rogans are a million times louder than that of a James Smith. We would need major regulation for advertisement but that's probably not a popular idea...
Exactly, even negative comments is positive marketing. However, hopefully those who get tempted by youtube affiliate links, will do some research, find this kind of info.

That’s actually a lie. I read or heard it takes ads like ten times to convince someone or get someone to buy stuff. Ads always work. It’s like no. Some say that and it’s social media or radio etc that benefit from ads.
It’s like I’ve heard and seen a ton of AG1 ads. Guess what. I’ve not bought it. If anything it made me scratch my head. It claims to have militaris cordyceps but it doesn’t list which Us producer grew it. And how you grow it with what Ingredients and if you use red and blue light changes everything like the cordycepin or adenosine content. They could have tested for cordycepin kr adenosine content but AG1 doesn’t,
Mine wasn't AG1 but another famous UK podcaster promoting another "green powder" product. Hilarious
Man your content and morality are a breath of fresh air, rare to see someone with a following to be as genuine 🙌
Kale, green apple, spinach , avocado and water Blend. add vegetable throughout the day with other healthy meals and you’ll get it all. Thanks for the video
tbh, Kale is the super food of super foods. Its insanely healthy. not saying the others arent, but Kale is next level healthyness.
Kiwis!!@@arashkordi7771
@@arashkordi7771 naaah, broccolli sprouts
Or just buy the supplement so you don't need to do all of that.
Yep, I mix a similar shake twice a day, good stuff. Blows my mind people waste so much money on supplements when all they have to do is eat/drink actual food.
Almost got suckered into AG1. I live in Europe and what prevented me from ordering was the shipping cost. Thank YOU Athletic Greens for helping me make the right choice by your greedy shipping cost. And thank YOU James for confirming my inadvertent good choice with your usual no BS unsponsored content. ❣many thanks as always.
The exact same thing with the shipping cost put me off it. It was in my cart and all
theres free shipping to EU so thats a false
@@mikes0978 well, about 30 seconds ago I went on their official website (again) and the price inc. shipping to Amsterdam Netherlands is 107.00 Euro. Your statement is false, unless you can provide a link with free shipping then I would love to give it a go. Cheers.
@@suzu363that is the price for 1 bag without subscription
I paid 96€ for switzerland. It came from Netherlands. That includes 9€ shipping
James, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for not selling out and making such content.
BRILLIANT!!. Finally a honest, no-nonsense review of how easy we are constantly pulled-in to these 'rip-offs' , thank you for the information, I've saved myself all that money. Well done James, long may you have such deserved success with this channel, God bless!.
Thank you for being one of the people who actually sheds light on these grifting companies. Micro-biomes are such a hot topic to cash in on right now, and the absolutely relentless sponsorships coupled with most people’s basic lack scientific literacy in the supplement realm, or hell, even merely how to check a supplements quality or efficacy has created a huge cash in for companies like AG1 and Huel. Videos like this are important
Idk if huel is good or bad, because I refuse to purchase it solely because of it's stupid fucking name.
I’ve watched a few of your videos now and i have to say your brutal honesty about the industry and people is actually great! So many “gymfluencers” hype everything up and only show/tell you the positives where as you are just unbiased and brutally honest with no filter 👌🏻👌🏻 subscribed :)
James is rapidly becoming one of my favourite fitness youtubers. This no nonsense, honest approach is really refreshing. Looking forward to watch more, keep up the good work James!
bro he didnt even tried the product but has an opinion on it he is a morron
As someone that follows a Mediterranean diet (consists mostly of vegetables) I was skeptical at first but I gave it a try and…
literally next day I felt different, been working out more, and honestly been feeling sharper. It could very well be placebo effect, but 2 months into using it I’m honestly feeling way better than I ever did. I am thinking about stopping for a month or 2 and see how I feel. --. It’s honestly very stupid to do a review of something you didn’t even try.🤷🏽♂️
What you said, you're feeling the placebo effect. I've had it and if you watched the video, the dosges in the product aren't worth it. You aren't getting the full vitiams. @@diegotinoco3296
@@CMCMTTTV lmao what? Of course what is in the product matters. What do you mean, who cares? LOL. That’s the whole point of the product and how it works in your body.
@@Martin-xt5qw He dont need to try it, since thats not what the review is about. It is more about the price of it, and if it is even worth the money. If you listned, you would figure that you would be better of with your money to just buy real food and make it yourself, instead of paying $90 a month for a plastic bag with whatever you could have made youself for way less.
Probably the only honest video/piece of content ive seen on ag1 and i was searching for it ans just randomly thos popped up.
TH-cam (and the world at large) needs more people like you
I will continue to watch and support James. An online personality with no sponsorships are worth their weight in gold. Great content as always. Oss!
I searched for tons of reviews of AG and they were all sooo positive but James was honest and real and now I’m a subscriber babie!
they're all positive because the product is fantastic, ive been taking it for over a month and feel way better than i have in a long time.
I've been taking AG1 for two years straight and it's improved my overall health.
@@Biketherapy113 He never said it wasn't good for you, it's just insanely overpriced.
You can get a generic version of ag1, with the same amount of powder and same nutritional value for 25$ at the super market.
Or you could just eat fruits and veggies and get even more of those nutrients for a tenth of the price.
with adaptogens and all? when something is good you pay for recipe and all of it's benefits, generic version is probably gonna deliver generic results. Whole foods are expensive, good vitamins are expensive.@@metasaurus3233
@@metasaurus3233Right. It's good for you. There's a lot to like about AG1. There's also better products out there for cheaper, but no one should stop using AG1 if they don't replace it with someone else. And I don't like that the new trend is to shame people who have bought into AG1 hype because those people are going to just stop consuming anything like it rather than do the research to replace it.
Love, love your honesty James!! Thank you for showing these supposed trustworthy people up. Some would sell their Grandmothers - no bloody integrity!
Your video saved my money. Thank you for your honest feedback
Oh man - I've only watched two of your videos so far but you are really hitting the spot. Finally. Excellent!
So good and refreshing watching this, thank you James for speaking out about this, so many of these people have HUGH influence and directing people to the wrong way to fuel their bodies while their bank accounts grows its so sad and I hope more people will speak out like you about these brands and the people influencing them.
Best man 🙏🏼 thankyou for being unbiased. Followed you everywhere & already turned on the notification. I was seriously considering buying this AG shit at one point. But never now.
I love how you have lane 8 playing in the background!!!😊
Subscribed to your channel of the back of watching this video. it’s straight to the point, talks sense and gives us common folk the understanding of the money associated behind the AG1 brand. Cheers
Funnily enough got served up an AG1 ad as soon as this video finished 😂. Having tried AG1 I have to say I largely agree with you around just consuming the right food instead. Cheers James, love your work.
So did I!! 🤣 So add TH-cam to the list of those receiving commission. Ugh.
I had it at the start lol
As a career marketer and having spent $100 on this bag of dirt when it first hit the market got to say it’s a brilliant scam. Should be included in a college marketing course on how to use influencers to sell anything. You’re the man James!!
Hahaha I had a "Happy mammoth" one 🤣🙄 they really do be listening.
I appreciate you for making this vid, I too was about to make a purchase, saw an ad on IG, and a free trial or something to that nature, but wanted to do my due diligence's because there is always a method to the madness, lol. Thanks again! Saving my money.
Always love your honest videos, it's refreshing not everyone is a fekin' sellout!
Superb. Thank you James for yet again, being the voice of reason when hope seems lost.. I feel like I'm being trolled by adverts for this rubbish and I'm so bored of seeing everyone bumming the stuff. Thankfully, critical thinking is a skill I have acquired, much like yourself. This video needs to go viral x
FINALLYYYYYY!! I’ve been so annoyed over the years at the monopolisation of the podcast adverts and even YTbers and credited scientific podcasts like Hubermans promoting this shit.
They probably way up the fact that ‘well it’s not harmful so it’s not hurting anyone if they buy it and I line my pockets with loadssssss of money so if they sponsor me than cool!’
I’ve been waiting for someone with a platform to call them out for years! Thank you 👏
This is EXACTLY why I love you!!!
This is exactly what I was looking for, and suspected. Thank you for your honest review. Subbed
Brilliant. My respect level for you just skyrocketed.
The one thing AG gets right is it influencer treatment. The package they send to people to push their stuff makes it seem like you've ordered a new Apple product not a bag of green powder 😂 Unfortunately, they don't include a device to morally lobotomize yourself in order to push the astronomically expensive stuff for them! 😂
God bless you, James Smith!
Thanks for the discount code - it really helped me out!
We can always count on James to tell it like it is! Great video, been waiting for this one! I have way too many friends that have been sucked in by this AG1 nonsense.
I'd like to see a deep-dive into whoever is behind producing & marketing this stuff? I assume it wasn't already a huge success before the ads began appearing on what seems like EVERY TH-cam video and Podcast I subscribe to. So they must have a huge advertising budget allowing them to attempt making the stuff profitable by sheer strength of will... It seems like someone just found a potentially lucrative product category and convinced some investors that their brand would resonate with the 'lazy health conscious' demographic...
I'm just surprised that the brand SEEMS? to be popular? Or are they still hoping the advertising will make it successful before they run out of marketing budget... I thought the name sounds too much like 'Soylent Green', which I assumed consumers would consider disgusting. And the green colour looks gross, but I guess enough people have been programmed to assume GREEN=HEALTHY that the colour selection works... I mean, they could have made it any colour they wanted., so the sickly green was definitely a deliberate choice!
@@StreetPreacherr There is tons of pyramide sceme businesses on fake health claim products, they get banned again and again by the authorities for being illegal, but till that happens, they make a lot of money. And they just repeat this with a "new owner", basically the same people with just a different name.
Love your authenticity my guy. The reason it MAY work for some people is because they dont consume healthy food in the first place, so to whatever degree AG1 reduces the lack of the micronutrient/s it makes them feel better, so yes, eat more fruits and veggies. However, if you're experienced and are in a deficit, it may be hard to eat everything you need to keep your micronutrients up, so a supplement may come in handy.
Love your work and the information you provide mate.
Excellent points! Great job brother. Keep doing it 👊🏻
The fact that there was an AG1 ad right after this video was *chefs kiss*
Good for you man! So refreshing to see an honest review of all this rubbish.
I salute you sir👌🏽
I really liked the breakdown, thanks for bringing me back to earth... Iol
Priceless! Confirmed what I suspected…Cheers mate
Amazing James! Thanks for always keeping it real!! As soon as your video finished, guess what ad started playing... AG1 is so much more than a greens powder 😂. The crappy part is that some Podcasters whom I respect (Andrew Huberman and Rich Roll) plug this stuff just to keep the lights on in their effort to disseminate free information.
I love your honesty. Honestly I will never buy this product because I am lucid enough to know that marketing is what you pay for when you buy it. Thanks for the discount code😂
Kick ass. Thank you man. Already subscribed
Love this video, and your honesty, and hopefully it's opening some eyes about what's going on behind all the rave. Easy money is always a big drive for people.
Great video. I felt the same. I was gifted a bag for free so I tried it out and loved it until I finished it and contemplated actually buying a bag, that’s where my journey with AG1 ended.
Awesome! Finally a non sponsored review of this product. In Germany there has been reviews which clearly doubt the effect of AG in healthy adults. A closer look at AG studies reveal more.
take my subscription, love the honesty
ty bro, honesty graces you.
Dude I almost came close to buying this! Thank you so much for your truthful and honest review!
Idk how you guys are calling this a review. He never even tried the product.
Got this video recommended 9 minutes and 19 seconds ago - and I need to say my man James exactly told the world what I was thinking about this product. You've totally earned yourself a sub.
Love your work mate!
A great and honest review; thank you 👌
Thanks for saving me £90! Great video as always ❤
Literally got served an AG1 ad straight after this 😆 Great vid, really appreciate the honest view
first time I see you. Love it. Thanks. from France
this info was really helpful, thank you.
Thanks for the video, we need more people exposing these things. I had look at this online because I liked Huberman and was curious as to what is was but the price is so restrictive for what it is. It makes me question the integrity of these podcasters.
If you live in Australia, Nature's Own has a Green's Powder and a Red's Powder. They're often 50% off at Woolies, Coles or Chemist Warehouse going for about $8.5-17 each. Swisse also do a Greens powder that's pretty good.
Was thinking the same I buy it all the time and I feel no difference
Thanks for this. I can't afford AG1 and was looking for a cheaper alternative in Australia.
Most of these powder has lots of maltodextrin. Coles and Woolies brands don’t offer quality either!!
@1heart1mind Definitely something I need to do my research on then.
I loved your review! You got me subscribed to your channel.
I was going to buy this but I started to see the massive MSM push and the influencers started to promote it and I started to think it might not be what they say it is. Thank you for the honest review. I have now subscribed to your channel.
I looked into this stuff when I saw Derek from More Plates, More Dates do a video on it. It was at that point I realised he'd totally sold out. I eat bananas before exercise, 300g of frozen vegetables a day, mixed frozen berries with protein shakes. All this tastes better, is more satiating and is much much cheaper than AG1. Coupled with a daily multi vitamin I don't see why I would ever fork out this kind of money, it wouldn't even save me 5 minutes in a day.
I was just thinking this too.
It's the perceived convenience for some that seals the deal. Some people want to feel that they have found a cure for their messy schedule. Having fruits and veggies in your home requires to buy them from the grocery store, they go bad in a few days, you have to wash them, peel them and actually eat them. With AG1, you just mix some green powder into water and poof, you get some things that you might get from eating fruits and veggies, but at a fraction of the hassle. You chug that each morning and you "feel" like you've saved some time in your day. It's all about perception.
Well said
It’s sad what has happened to Derek.
He simply stated he didn’t get what he needed from food so he drinks it. Didn’t sell it as a magic formula or anything.
The cost of this product is honestly insane. You'd think they had found the fountain of youth for that price.
Thank you for a no BS review brother.
Literally just dried up veggies and selling it like gold dust.
Insane? It's $3/day. Most of the people who are taking this were already spending $6-7/day on coffee and doing nothing to improve their health. Are there better products for cheaper? Yes. But AG1 is getting people to transform their health who otherwise wouldn't even engage. I think that content creators need to tread carefully in shaming these people for being "scammed" etc. It's an insignificant amount of money. Introduce them to better products, yes, but don't shame them for trying AG1 and finding out that it actually makes them feel better. Encourage them to keep going further with even better products.
@@user-ij5ky4lr3x Average AG1 user asking people to tread carefully lmao. You're not Al-Capone.
It's his review and own personal opinion which he can give, you can use whatever you want. He didn't shame anyone.
you Sir, are a legend. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for this video, very informative
In Germany we have a lot of AG1 ads, too. Many platforms reviewed the product already. I came to the conclusion, that this product might only work in the US because in many areas getting fruit and vegetables is far more expensive than a family bucket of fried chicken. In Germany (or whole Europe) it is different. You can eat healthy for a fairly low budget. Ofc you can always add your supplements. But as long as you choose fresh food over processed, you are unlikely to have huge overall deficits.
Veggies are pretty reasonable atleast where I live in the US.
Have you ever lived in the US? As long as you're not shopping at places like Whole Foods or supposed organic stores you can definitely buy veggies and fruits for a lot cheaper than a bucket of chicken.
@@MathiasMartinWR good to hear. I only have been in San Fran and NY so far.
@@eazy261 I haven‘t just visited NY and San Francisco. And yes, I only was in. Whole Food market. Good to hear that can get fruits and veggies for a reasonable price. I thought it was the same price all over the country.
Not in the Netherlands. Fruit and vegetables are sky high!!
I looked at it at and nearly spat out my coffee when I saw the price. Thanks James for the great content.
Literally the price of airpods or a decent fit and a haircut 😂😭🤣
I freakin love this! I remember looking up AG1 and seeing the dang price 🤯
Thanks for this
James you are a real one mate, hope you stay that way
Remember first hearing about AG1, looked it up. Saw the price(per month), just closed my laptop and went on with my day.
Great review & summary. It's always baffled me why AG1 hasn't got more flack before now
And now I understand why theyve managed to get such insanely high profile product placement on respectable podcasts
Interesting how Joe Roegan often talks about how bad billionairs exploit us and wonders how they can do it, he should take a deep look into the mirror, jumping on this pyramide sceme is evidence for him, how people can do this, he is just the same.
Thanks for the summary in the description.
I'm new to your channel, and I'm thoroughly enjoying your content. I appreciate the transparency and valuable insights you offer to your audience. 👏🏼🙌🏻
I tried it for two months. I felt like I did notice a slight improvement in terms of energy levels but it was hardly worth the cost in my opinion. Mind you my diet is already 85% clean and I'm well trained for 5 years now. I went back to supplementing with a multivitamin, vitamin d3, zink, fish oil & magnesium with the main purpose being keeping my test consistent. Far cheaper and works well.
Maybe I’m just buying some crazy expensive supplements but that doesn’t sound a whole lot cheaper. More effective, but still pretty expensive.
@@ratking927 My current vitamin/mineral supplement routine costs me somewhere around 30€ a batch. That is only because I buy higher quality ones. The average amount of servings between them all is 100-120 pills. Some of these I take twice a day and others not. Even if I were to take every pill twice a day it would last me on average 50-60 days. AG1 is 107€ where I live and has 30 days worth. So yes, it is way cheaper compared to AG1 but it's not cheap per se.
@ratking927 i own my own online health store and have worked in the supplement industry for 10 years. His list is rather quite affordable for supplements. Now it does come down to the brand/quality, but zinc, magnesium, and vitamin d are super affordable.
Fish oil and multi vitamin are where it picks up a bit. You can get a good quality fish oil for $30. Personally i find multivitamins useless (due to vitamin and cofactor competition for absorption) but thats really the one you want to soend good money on.
general disclaimer: no one needs a multivitamin, it's useless, it's the og placebo of 21st century.
source: all the doctors I've spoken to about this argument: even in case of very concerning deficienties they go about that 1 or 2 specificly and not ALL the alphabet of vitamins
@@ratking927 Buying that stuff individually is waaaaaaay cheaper than $170AUS per month. I buy pretty much the same stuff as OP and I wouldn't come close to spending that amount ALL YEAR
Since taking AG1 with Tren & Test my strength, wellbeing, sexual performance & general well being has increased so much I had to come off the AG1 it was just too strong.
My guy👍
😂😂😂
Hahaha you made my day 😂😂😂
Nice video mate! Its good your getting that information out there
So good and eye opening!
I eat healthy food and supplement with AG. I must say I like it and it feels good when I take it. The fact that it contains only natural stuff is good enough for me.
"I like it, it feels good"...
100% subjective, anecdotal and worthless expression.
The ingredients don't even come from organic farming and the manufacturer can't say anything about many of the ingredients and contents. That doesn't inspire confidence!
Simple and honest breakdown. Well done! Organic fruits and veggies cannot be replaced with any processed powder.
regular old fruit and veg is identical - well that's true - it uses less land mass so is more environmental.
Calling it like it is. Love the videos, keep up the good work!
And this... this sort of honesty... This is how you gain a subscriber.
My experience is that the more something is advertised, the worse / less bang-for-buck the product is. Truly great products don't need millions or even billions of dollars of marketing backing them, because a truly great product and whatever results they produce speak for themselves. Don't be fooled by influencers pretending to care about you or your health.
Products with a pyramide sceme business model, usually are just a placeholder to claim selling something of value, till the authorities close it down, this stuff is repeating since over 10 years already and the same people keep reopening under a different name.
I live in Canada, and other similar greens powders are not much cheaper tbh. Been using AG1 for a year now, also I’ll add I did get sucked into it 😅…but with that being said it has definitely helped me. It helped regulate my appetite and stomach issues have got better. I also still eat a fairly good balanced diet most of the time. I had an extensive bloodwork done and all my vitamin/mineral levels were bang on… so take what you want from that
But were they bad before?
Thanks for your honest assessment.
Thank you for sharing your opinion on this! I totally agree! Always thought that this athletic green hype is a total nonsense!🤷🏼♀️👏
Thank you i don't listen to joe rogen but i do listen to talkville and every episode is Ag1 so I started thinking maybe I need Ag1 anyways thanks you saved me $100.😊
Thanks for mentioning how crazy priced it is for us in Australia
It's only because of the value of our dollar..
Never heard someone speak so honestly I subscribe to you
This is the video that finally made me subscribe. Great work James, stay legit
I'm immediately suspicious of a product that's doing a social media blitz and I wasn't all that surprised to find out it cost an arm and a leg.
Vegetables are cheaper, taste better and have more benefits but need a bit more effort than some wrist action in the morning.
Bit like f45 and gyms
Damn my housemate just got his package today and this video is a gold share😂😂
Nice one man, never watched one of your vids before but this was exactly what I've been thinking this whole time but not seen anyone else say it yet.
Thanks for this I’ve been fretting, thinking, this is something I should be taking for a while but it has been out of my price range
Spot on, it is a complete con and as my nutritionist said you are better off spending an extra $40 dollars on fruit and vegetables a month and saving the rest for a weekend away to top up your vitamin D. Avoid it! Well done James for finally giving it a decent review.
Yes. But this is supplement. SUPPLEMENTATION. Some people don't want to eat fruit. This is perfect for them
@@alexanderwindh4830paying tons of money for a subpar product/quick fix that wont even come close to real fruit and veggies is not a great substitute for anything. Plus as usual with supplements there is no regulation so you dont even know what you are getting. How is that a great idea instead of eating some veggies with your food.
Your nutritionist doesn't have a clue fruit/veg are not healthy.
@@nicmonberg5974 thanks for the laughs buddy.
Love James’s videos.
However.
This one not so much.
Had he been on it for 2 months then reviewed then fair enough.
But just ripping it for the price (which is ridiculous by the way) and not knowing how you feel after taking it isn’t the right approach in my opinion.
Have been on AG1 for about 6 months now.
Started with a VERY skeptical mindset trying to make sure it wasn’t a placebo effect I was experiencing.
My experience has been an improvement in alertness and cognitive ability literally 30 minutes after taking it.
I also feel my deathly white skin has improved in colour and feel.
Lastly I don’t think experience stomach discomfort like I used to.
I already eat plenty of fruit and veg every day.
Could I get the same results from a different product? Maybe.
However this seems to work for me and it’s really convenient if horrendously expensive.
So yeah I would say it’s not as clear cut as this video makes out especially with the lack of actually using it.
You earned a new subscriber here. I have always felt the way you describe in the video, just eat better to start then see where you stand. Our culture is so instant gratification now that even changing our diet, one of the largest impacts on or health, is not in the conversation for many people because in general it will take more time/brain power to plan meals that are healthy and balanced. Like you said, people get disillusioned by products like this, that they're in fact getting what they're missing which is not the whole truth.
Honesty. Now I’m going to head over to your website and sign up. You have appealed to my values. ❤
Idk, personally I'd been biking a couple times a week very hard for 2-3 years. Suddenly I start taking AG1 and my endurance more than triples, as in I literally bike 3-4 times as long, 3-4 hours without feeling tired. I don't eat right generally, it's the convenience of knowing I get everything.
AG1 is good asf he’s really just saying what he’s saying because people don’t wanna pay 80$/mo literally
I didn't try the AG1 specifically, but I fell into the "reds and greens" trap from another company. I bought a 2 or 3 month supply of each just to give it enough time to try to feel the effects and realized they did literally *nothing* for me. After my supply ran out I changed my diet slightly to incorporate spinach with breakfast and mushrooms with lunch and now I feel significantly better than I did before, and during, the reds and greens trial I did.
Be careful with spinach if you are sensitive to oxalates and tend to create kidney stones. Spinach has a super high amount of them.
Why specifically mushrooms and spinach? That's very interesting
Nick bare lol
@@tomasfrance6609 the oxalate is chemically destroyed by heating it up really good, never eat high oxalate veggies raw.
