    Chapter List & TLDR:
    0:00 - Intro
    0:32 - Why Drink a Green Powder?
    - most Americans have a nutrient deficiency. green drinks supplement vitamins + minerals
    - allows me to have broader food goals, more consistently healthy + find a balance
    - digestive enzymes, probiotics + prebiotics. good digestion has a lasting impact for years
    - i feel better, maybe you will too
    3:23 - Most Nutrition Studies Are Useless
    - nutritionists can’t agree on an optimal diet
    - everyone's different, you need to try for yourself
    4:30 - 3 Things Nobody Tells You About AG1
    - there are not 75 ingredients
    - keep it in the freezer after opening
    - eat a meal with fat content soon after drinking it
    5:53 - Criticism of AG1
    - it’s twice as expensive as it should be
    - the dosages are hidden behind proprietary blends
    7:24 - Digestion
    - probiotics contain living micro-organisms that can colonize your gut
    - prebiotics are fiber that you do not digest yourself, food for the bacteria that live inside you
    - again, there is no consensus, you need to try for yourself
    10:00 - Adaptogens
    - adaptogens are claimed to help you deal with stress
    - again, there is no consensus, you need to try for yourself

    Jake recommends two brands: Peak Performance and Green Vibrance.
    1) Peak Performance is the speaker's favorite in terms of taste. It is sweetened with stevia and is said to be easier to digest than AG1. It is also 100% organic.
    2) Green Vibrance is the speaker's favorite on paper. It has a lot of probiotics and is the most nutritious of the three powders. However, it is the most expensive option.
    Shame both don't ship from within Europe/EU.

    Great information Jake. Yeah, I have been very leery of AG1 from day one. Anything marketed that heavily always sets off alarms for me. And at the price they want, you could literally almost buy a farm and grow your own food lol
    But seriously. Over a year and a half ago I made a video discussing how Ashwaghandha completely changed my life.
    Having had 14 concussions and 3 skull fractures (hockey, soccer, and an older brother who loved watching professional wrestling and trying the moves out on me) I was plagued with migraines. My doctors and my neurologist’s tried everything and nothing ever worked.
    And then about two years ago I started taking Ashwagandha 30 days increments for six months. And my migraines have completely disappeared. Completely. I haven’t taken Ashwagandha since. I don’t know if it reset something in my neurological system or what. But it saved me from a miserable existence.
    I know that my story is anecdotal. And I don’t have any science to back up my claim. But my neurologists are completely happy with my outcome and so am I.
    Again, great video and awesome information.

      @JakeLeary  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      Ah just checked it out. First impressions it does seem to have a lot of filler (oats, pea protein) so maybe slightly more towards meal replacement than strictly green / digestive supplement. The fat content could be good for absorption and they include chia seeds and flax for omega 3s so that’s good. Overall it has a lot of similar ingredients to the 3 products I looked at but it seems that the quantities of most of the good ingredients are less. They also use proprietary blends so it’s hard to tell how much is in there of each ingredient. It looks like they do use a lot of chlorella and spirulina which is good, and they use more mushrooms than any of the powders I’ve tried, could be a good thing, sole people swear by that mushroom coffee replacement stuff.

    I honestly was skeptical of kombucha, but after drinking it in the morning before I eat food and in the evening after meal, I found that it really did help with my digestion. It was noticeable after a few weeks of sticking to it. I started off just drinking half a bottle at a time because I didn’t wanna spend too much money and now I’m looking into making it myself. The taste really grew on me and now I like to try all the flavors. I would recommend it to anybody who has mild digestive issues. As a bonus I was able to swap my daily 24-32oz diet soda for kombucha and from what I have read since, I think cutting the diet soda may have helped my gut health too.

I also was stabbed so my gut is a mess, I have several surgeries and rehabs coming up so I’m nearly certain making up for absorption issues. It doesn’t taste bad to me at all, I’m not sure why ppl are saying that . They recommend 8 oz or something but I do 12 to get more water in first thing. It doesn’t have much of a taste.

      If I don't get the same results tho? Then yes! It is worth springing for the $95.00/mo to get AG1. Totally. And I am cash-poor so it's a lot!

      Hey friend. I did some digging to make sure it was an accurate claim and he is right. Chlorella was taken out of the product in the 19.1 version of Green Vibrance. Looks like they substituted it with sunflower lecithin and extra spirulina powder. The current formula, Green Vibrance 21.0, reintroduced chlorella back into the mix. I was able to compare both formulas as I have the 19.1 on hand and reviewed the current 21.0 version online. Hope this helps!

    One thing you should look at when buying any of these powders is the addition of pea protein, I am vegan and take pea protein daily and it’s relatively cheap so I don’t want it in my expensive greens powder. I have see as much as 2 grams out of the 5 gram serving to be pea protein, that equates to 40%!

    @HAL9000_ICantDoThat 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Seriously comprehensive solid video.
    I'm not a fan of AG1. Cost and also the ingredients are lacking.
    A good example is that their main ingredients are Spirulina & used to be Cholerella but if you look at the recommended dose its no way sufficient for what you want to consume.
    Probiotics - many mention this benefit, including Huberman but its far superior and easier to attain this from kefir. Vastly higher concentration & importantly diversity. Diversity is important.
    If you imagine your microbiome as a rainforest, you do not want to just plant oak trees. You want and need a wide range. Biodiversity.
    Im a big fan of spurlina but especially cholrella and you clearly do not get enough from AG1. I have studied this a lot and even though they mention its organic this is usually a negative because most organic products are from Asia in less than great enviornments they are grown in.
    Origin of key ingredients is key!
    I take chlorella 1-2 times daily because of the chlorophyll (which is key for detox!) & also the CGH. For me this is the ultimate supplement and need very little else.
    I also take turmeric & sometimes moringa/maca.
    For a smoothie fix I like frozen cherries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries with chia seeds, LSA, half lemon, apple cider vinegar, cucumber & some probiotic yoghurt.

    The only thing that has me wondering, though, is that you say that green drinks are not a replacement for real food. I agree that the powder shouldn't be the end-all be-all. But the powder IS food (highly concentrated at that, if I understand correctly). I take Green Vibrance due to its potency and ingredient list, since I don't do my due diligence and eat a high veggie diet.
    If I may ask, respectfully, what makes a green drink powder inferior to the whole form vegetable? Is it more the idea that you're relying on the green powder to substitute for a poor diet? Or is the whole food more beneficial overall? Thanks.

      Think of advertising as an investment. Some say that you should go all in early and become a familiar name in your target market. Others will say not to invest so heavily in advertising, to grow slowly and let the reputation spread word of mouth. There are merits and risks to both approaches, but it's a mistake to regard either approach as inherently bad or good.
