@@tomslitovnieks8036 I did. Gave me nothing but seaweed burps and my blood test was identical as my last year’s check-up, with slightly lower vitamin e and iron/heme values. The blood test was performed one month into the AG1 powder regimen. It’s overrated, overpriced, and no better than eating a salad and following it up with some kefir or yogurt.
Some UA-camrs don't do their homework, they just grab any shady sponsorship that comes along. From the top of my head I can remember Better Help, Established Titles, SkillShare, Masterworks. All of them (and others) has/had something shady going on.
Wait what happened with skillshare. I'd think at the worst it's a learning platform full of kinda useful information that can be found easily on UA-cam
Established TItles made me lose respect for so many UA-camrs. It was clear to anyone who thinks about for a second that it was a scam, and comment sections of people promoting it were often full of fans calling out the obvious scam, until it was finally confirmed to be a scam without a shadow of a doubt, and all the people promoting it made their fake apology videos and claimed that they could have never know, they are actually the victims, you know.
@@cannedCPU Many are so desperate to earn any money on YT. They need to get some following first, to attract sponsors, and they will take anything. And when they get veery successful, further sponsorship sometimes turns out to be a hack in disguise, taking over their channel. YT is no longer a community platform. It is a marketing platform. Pay and get paid. Every creator asking followers to subscribe and comment, to 'help the channel growing' only do it for revenue, nothing else.
I’ve always been skeptical of this product, especially since I saw it promoted from finance channels (what would they know about nutrition? It’d be like a fitness UA-camr promoting a finance product), and we’re all seen a LOT of sponsored products turn out to be shady. I’ve always just opted for eating foods that cover all your vitamin & mineral needs such as wheat germ oil for Vit E, red meat for B-Vitamins, potatoes for potassium etc. So many people think you can just ingest some vitamins & your health is sorted
Meaning they're not required to prove efficacy. Like any food. You still can't claim unproven health benefits. So really no drawback at all, just don't trust marketing.
@@nietur This video claimed that such a high level of vitamin E could be dangerous. And no agency is preventing this from being sold. Not to mention false advertising, There ARE laws against that, at least.
If supplements required FDA approval then only big pharma would be able to obtain the clearances for them. Big pharma in the US would then charge what they charge for prescription drugs. This would mean more unhealthy people and big pharma could then sell more prescription drugs. Big pharma would benefit but the American public like usual would get ripped off by big pharma.
That's because the FDA doesn't have your best interest in mind. They even say that maltodextrin is "safe for consumption." WTF does that even mean? How much? Everyday? For extended periods?
I apologize for not watching the whole video. I have a degree in medicinal chemistry and pharmacy. Vitamin B-12 is water-soluble vitamin, which means it doesn't really pose as a health risk in most patients. Unlike fat-soluble vitamins A,D,E,K, water-soluble vitamins can't accumulate in the body (for most people) as your body would pee out whatever excess it can't use. So in these patients, the worse case scenario is flushing these water-soluble vitamins and money down the toilet. The 2 caveats are (1) if you are truly vitamin B-12 deficient, then you are likely to experience anemia, aka low hemoglobin or low red blood cell count. (2) if you have some kidney problem, you may not be able to excrete/pee out excess, leading to toxicity. But that's unlikely, as most toxicity are mild, like headaches or itching. My point as a health care professional is (and is taught in medical and pharmacy schools), unless your doctor tells you that you have a certain vitamin deficiency (99% of the people), taking a once daily multivitamin such as Centrum or the cheaper store brand generic, is enough.
Some people can absorb B12 through the gut, so that they have it in their blood. But their tissues don't utilize B12 properly, so they need high doses to stave off rapidly progressing neuropathy.
B3 has been found to cause increased cardiovascular risks. Turns out the waste product of metabolizing excess B3 causes inflammation. Within the limit of the initial testing, this is "common enough" for people taking regular multivitamins with way above 100% dosages. More research is needed.
@@alidaweber1023 If I remember correctly, B12 needs to be converted into its active form and some people don't have enough enzymes to do this. So they have plenty of inactive B12 in their blood, but unable to convert enough of it fast enough. Methylcobalamin? This is part of the reason most people can take crazy high levels of B12 and not have an issue. Even if there's a lot in the blood, the active form is rate limited by the body's ability to transform it. But it is possible to overdose on the activated version.
From what I’ve read from neutral observers, it’s just an expensive daily vitamin. The vast majority of people could go buy daily vitamins for a fraction of the cost at Walgreens, and get the same effect. It’s not snake oil, but it’s not reoglutionay either. It’s just taking a common affordable item, marketing it heavily, then jacking up the price to resell the same product.
It makes me wonder how humanity survived for millions of years without all of these expensive supplements. Oh. They just ate FOOD ! What a breakthrough idea.
While I agree with you, this is not a very good argument. People in the past who weren't rich elites were often malnourished and had lots of illnesses.
While I do agree to some extent it's not just about your grandma being healthy just by eating food. It's also about can we make so her sickly brother who died early on surviving. However it all gets played for profit with offering unrealistic promises of a miracle techno solution that is not remotely possible.
I've had bad experiences with the products I've tried that were UA-cam sponsors. None of the products I"ve ordered had any lasting build quality. Just cheap trash. I don't buy anything that advertises on UA-cam anymore. (or Facebook either).
First rule of UA-cam, ads suck. No we don't want to watch them. The whole ad blocker thing is a problem for a reason. If i wanted to buy something that does something, the first 500 search results from Google search is ads. Rolling into an ad in video is when we stop watching. 30 minute video, and the first 30 seconds is "sponsore related content" is when we stop watching. Put it at the end, when we will shut off video. Believe it or not, we don't care. If your content isn't good enough to carry itself.......
You realize that ads are the only reason internet services are free right??? Without ads, THERE IS NO UA-cam AT ALL! 🤦😑 Do you want to have to pay a subscription to access websites like UA-cam? Because that's the only alternative to ads. 🤷 There's no such thing as a free lunch genius.
@Cooe. I pay for internet. Minor ads eye ok. After 5 seconds I can hit ship. Now, 45 second of ads for a 1:34 video i wasn't to sure I wanted to watch, and I can't skip ads. Just to mute (fireTV) while I do something else, and forget the video. Just to replay a few minutes later, and yup, it was something I didn't want to watch. Ads are way out of control. I'm not going to buy the product. And I'm not going to get that time back.
wow, lucky algorithm day drove me here. i wanted to become a researcher a decade ago (changed my mind after getting accepted everywhere i wanted, happy it worker now) and when i saw their website, a couple of doubts sprung up: 1 - where the eff is the ingredients list (later on found it, but it wasn't easy, and it is not detailed enough) 2 - why is this thing so darned expensive, these things don't cost that much 3 - shady research (they did their own studies and 3rd party // reviewed ones are small) and 4 - the ingredients list contains things i know for a fact would contradict each other when digested together (not to mention fat soluble vitamins which are useless in powders). thanks for the clarity!
Nice video. I always ignore the AG1 videos, so I didn't know much about it. I supplement based on my recent blood tests, and yes - it takes some time and research on reliable sites (NIH, Mayo Clinic, and so on), but the results have been very good on my checkups. Don't use something "easy" - base what you supplement on your own diet and any shortages in your tests - don't just take a generic supplement that will have too much of some things for your own body's needs, not enough of others and maybe none of what you need the most.
When the Covid pandemic hit a few years ago, all the talk was about getting vaccinated. I explained to my friend, who is a lon time smoker and has complications because of it needed to be jabbed. I said to her I don't smoke, nor have the need to abuse my body in that way, so giving me the vaccine, isn't going to help me with tis virus. I said to my friend if the virus had an impact upon my brain (as a stroke victim) then yes I would take it in a heart beat. But don't give the body something it doesn't need. Your post reminded me of that!
Seems like you could use 1/5th of a scoop a day, and get 100% of your rda of those vitamins. That would make it a lot cheaper! $99 would last half a year or so :D
As someone who lives with very poor health & immune system problems with Lupus. Im so very skeptical about all in 1 supplements. . For something to work effectively it will never come easy as dumping a powder in a glass.
Even Huberman is now promoting this. It's probably directed at someone like me, with my fibromyalgia, my appetite is spotty due to IBS, and I never eat breakfast and around 5 when I'm hungry I grab a pizza or something else quick and unhealthy. Tonight it was Christmas cake. But it's not in my price bracket, and anyone promoting it to me cannot get past that.
@@jbak6892 Yeah, was about to say. A dietitian is what you want, not a medical doctor. My mom and best friend are both doctors and they don't know much about nutrition (and they are both honest about this fact whenever anyone asks them for advice; they always advise people to ask a dietitian). MDs do learn about nutrition but not enough and by the time they are done studying, they would have probably forgotten it. Also beware: the term "dietitian" and "nutritionist" depend on the county. In some countries, a dietitian is certified but in others it is a nutrition. For example, in the US, a dietitian is a board certified expert in nutrition, but a nutritionist in the US is an unregulated title and any quack pseudoscientist can call themself a nutritionist. So research what title is used for a certified nutrition expert in your country.
I'm a runner and I personally prefer everything to be natural, I don't ever trust protein supplements and going that route was hard because you need knowledge to navigate what the body needs without exceeding the daily recommended limits for the body but I'm very happy with the results.
lol, I watched a whole AG1 ad, not realizing it wasn’t part of the video. Now was it random chance? I’ve never heard ag1, and then ad shows up on ag1 debunking? 😂
If it looks too good to be true, it will probably be consumed. God forbid someone looks beyond that noxious green and actually looks anything up. Thanks for making it easy.
The price is definitely too high! $90 a month is a lot for a drink, no matter how many vitamins it contains. The price around $40, fine, but anything more is too much. I don't use it, but I've seen the commercial a few times, so I checked out the video.
I remember some anti-creationist channels from the skeptic days shitting on b12 because creationists were promoting and selling it. I didn't even realize this was still a thing.
Good video! It’s sad tho to see a UA-camr you otherwise like do this. It’s like they don’t take the time to vet their commercial partners. It’s a quick buck now but overtime it erodes you earning potential because people just don’t trust you anymore.
Regarding high amounts of B12 - it's absorbed very poorly so that's why vitamins put in such high amounts. I have no affiliation with any product I just wanted to share
Thanks for the video! More people need to know this information. I don’t ever buy into what UA-camr’s are sponsored by therefore pushing for you to buy. 9.5 times out of 10 It’s all a scam haha.🤣😂
@@LogicallyAnswered I'd rather have the notes to the editor in the subtitles than only have UA-cam auto-generated subtitles. We hearing impaired people really appreciate it when UA-cam creators go the extra mile and include real subtitles, even if they have an editor note or two. Great video, btw. I'm a recent subscriber and have binge watching, and giving thumbs up to, all of your content.
I have been consuming spirullina (just spirullina alone, sometimes with chlorella and wheat grass, I mixed singles together) for years. For the fraction of the price. Not the tastiest thing in the world, but at least you know what you are having. When I heard about this and the number of individual ingredients, AND the price, I knew it was a scam.
The german public service ZDF has a format called the "Quarks sience cops". They debunk pseudo sience bullshit, they did a podcast on ag1 with a lot of sience knowlegde involved
If Lewis, Marc Marquez, Rossi, Jason Plato, and Sabestian lobe promote AG1. I still wouldn't take it. AG1 would have to bring back the dead before I consider it.
I wonder if people buying promoted products realize they're directly paying for influencers getting mil$ heavy sponsorship checks. Just buy literally the same thing off brand and save the marketing cost.
Children's doctor here: If you are a more or less healthy child or adult, you don't need ANY supplements. Period. As a parent, offer a wide variety of mostly fresh food and let them choose how much of which they want to eat. Don't be afraid of junk food, just limit it to once or twice a week. If they are into sports, don't even bother about too much sugar (although I hate how much sugar is put into EVERYTHING!) - but tell them they might have to change their habits if they stop being so active. That's it.
I do watch UA-cam quite often and I have never heard of this. Probably tells you something about who chooses to accept sponsorship of this. It seems we're never going to run out of people dumb enough to believe ridiculous claims for something you consume
I've been calling out AG1 for years. Shame on everyone who promotes that expensive shit. For the ridiculous price they don't even have all the nutrients their target audience would need. Sadly also some climbing Podcasters are promoting it...
In Germany, I have to wait MONTHS to talk to my doctor, if it is not an urgent matter. On Monday, I have an appointment with my Ophthalmologist, but I have reserved and been waiting for this appointment since early September. This was the earliest appointment they have. Tbf, if I have an urgent matter, most doctors in Germany have an "emergency time slot" where you can go and wait in line to see the doctor, but that has to be an emergency (e.g. an acute illness). But there are health problems that are not emergencies, yet still make your life very difficult. In my case, my vision has been giving me a lot of trouble and I have been having styes in my eye very regularly, every few weeks
@CoreDump451 in India, you can visit any private doctor at any time, pay nominal 5ish $ visiting fee, get prescription etc in less than a few hours. For government doctors the line is longer but still doable. Your private insurance company here will reimburse most of your money anyways. Also essential medicine like insulin can't be charged a lot.
@@themischief420 General practitioners and family physicians have similar, if not greater wait times, in public hospitals. This is common in most major cities in Europe, and has been since around the beginning of the 2010s. Reasons are widespread and vary upon location, with the majority of major city public hospitals/medical centers having been overwhelmed due to vast waves of immigrants, that require almost immediate assistance upon arrival- some with diseases that have been eradicated in Europe, or others with conditions requiring specialized care- and for multiple family members, and consistently thereafter, and with no expense out of pocket to them; multiply this many thousands of times, across multiple major cities, almost consecutively, for the better part of 15 years, and you can understand maybe what this does to the medical infrastructure of a country. This places an overwhelming strain on these hospitals and medical facilities. Germany’s case is absolutely insane given the amount of arrivals they’ve received. I’m originally from Italy, and though the migrant situation causes a heavy strain in metropolitan hospitals nationwide, the large majority of issues stem from lack of investment, unfair and stagnant bureaucracy, and a lower amount of new medical professionals and doctors to support the system..
I don’t understand? What about the thousands who use it? The reviews? Probably better than the redbull I drink every morning lol. Its not a miracle it’s support
Thats funny as "grass fed" is a marketing term that is in no way regulated. And red meat is connected to cancer. You literally pay extra to get the small amount of nutrition from the grass that retained in the muscle meat. Like slightly more beta carotene and ALA omega3.
My rule is: if influencers are promoting it, for sure is a bad product

And that goes 100x for women who have an instagram account.
If it looks too good to be true, it will probably be consumed. God forbid someone looks beyond that noxious green and actually looks anything up. Thanks for making it easy.
The price is definitely too high!
$90 a month is a lot for a drink, no matter how many vitamins it contains.
The price around $40, fine, but anything more is too much.
I don't use it, but I've seen the commercial a few times, so I checked out the video.
I remember some anti-creationist channels from the skeptic days shitting on b12 because creationists were promoting and selling it. I didn't even realize this was still a thing.
Good video! It’s sad tho to see a UA-camr you otherwise like do this. It’s like they don’t take the time to vet their commercial partners. It’s a quick buck now but overtime it erodes you earning potential because people just don’t trust you anymore.
"New kikg of sponsorships". Yeah like 4 years ago. I haven't seen an Atheltic Greens sponsorship in a hot minute. Now it's all about Huel
Regarding high amounts of B12 - it's absorbed very poorly so that's why vitamins put in such high amounts. I have no affiliation with any product I just wanted to share
The same people that recommend a particular balance of vitamins are the same people that promote the inverted 'Food Pyramid' 🤢
lol UA-cam fed me an AG1 ad during this. Of course.
It would’ve been wild if this video was sponsored by AG1
12:34 this is not a correction but a question. Does "counter intuitive" work here or should it be "counter productive"?
Thanks for the video! More people need to know this information. I don’t ever buy into what UA-camr’s are sponsored by therefore pushing for you to buy. 9.5 times out of 10 It’s all a scam haha.🤣😂
I'm glad I got their subscription because of this video here :)
when ever you see something marketed too much, you know there's a problem.
(You've put the notes to the editor in the subtitles again.)
Oops hahaha :)
@@LogicallyAnswered I'd rather have the notes to the editor in the subtitles than only have UA-cam auto-generated subtitles. We hearing impaired people really appreciate it when UA-cam creators go the extra mile and include real subtitles, even if they have an editor note or two.
Great video, btw. I'm a recent subscriber and have binge watching, and giving thumbs up to, all of your content.
Great video. Thanks.
I've been waiting for something to come out about them.
A true cynic hahaha
I have been consuming spirullina (just spirullina alone, sometimes with chlorella and wheat grass, I mixed singles together) for years. For the fraction of the price. Not the tastiest thing in the world, but at least you know what you are having. When I heard about this and the number of individual ingredients, AND the price, I knew it was a scam.
The german public service ZDF has a format called the "Quarks sience cops". They debunk pseudo sience bullshit, they did a podcast on ag1 with a lot of sience knowlegde involved
AG1 is my name on a game I’ve played for like 20 years, these people are giving me a bad name 😂😤
😂
If something is insisting to much on promotion there's a high chance of being shitty
The captions have a ton of your editing cues XD
In my discounter there is a multi-vitamin pill for like 3$/40pills. Why would any1 buy the same stuff for 99$ 😂
Wow. The rabbit hole goes deeper if you continue to follow the algorithm.
"risk of death" isn't a good measure for health of healthy (not sick) adults
100% correct ❤❤❤
If it sounds too good to be true, then it is!
I just love when a channel that is all about exposing or talking about scams is sponsored by one. Like better help most recently.
If Lewis, Marc Marquez, Rossi, Jason Plato, and Sabestian lobe promote AG1. I still wouldn't take it. AG1 would have to bring back the dead before I consider it.
Never heard of it.
You had me at Gweneth Paltrow 😏
"....it's made of people!"
😳
They're all too young. They don't get the reference.
Lol! that comment made my day. .... remember folks - "Tuesday is Soylent Green day" 😉
@@gaykosmos8456 its a bit before my time too ...but ya ,kids these days no sense of culture
But does it have what plants crave?
I love all of your videos :)
AG1, the new Snake Oil.....I never heard of that product and I watch a lot of YT.
At least there is a product this time.
So no one is going to mention that Joe Rogan has been pushing this for...
Years
I always research the sponsors…
I’m surprised you didn’t mention AG1 is actually, literally toxic… maybe a part 2 of this video
Never heard of ag1 before 😅 i swear
almost 700k subs..... da fooq? 👏👏👏👏
I wonder if people buying promoted products realize they're directly paying for influencers getting mil$ heavy sponsorship checks.
Just buy literally the same thing off brand and save the marketing cost.
True hahaha
Your audio track is out of sync with the video at some parts
Thanks for the feedback man :)
Anything to avoid eating whole foods.
And plenty of people to profit off of this.
_Caveat Emptor._ I assume if it comes from a startup, it's snake oil.
Great video.
I prefer Brondo. It has electrolytes.
That was a great documentary
A shame Huberman has them as a sponsor. Kind of takes away from his reputation a bit.
If it's advertised on UA-cam, it's crap.
I knew this stuff was crap when i saw the inflated prices.
Diet does mitigate disease
So you don’t take vitamins?
why is it unthinkable to you that some people don't lmfao
In India we had coronil by Ramdev baba
Children's doctor here: If you are a more or less healthy child or adult, you don't need ANY supplements. Period. As a parent, offer a wide variety of mostly fresh food and let them choose how much of which they want to eat. Don't be afraid of junk food, just limit it to once or twice a week. If they are into sports, don't even bother about too much sugar (although I hate how much sugar is put into EVERYTHING!) - but tell them they might have to change their habits if they stop being so active. That's it.
You aren't healthy because of all the vaccines you are required to take
If more plates more dates isn’t selling it, it’s probably a poorly under dosed supplement
3:41 also, if gwenneth paltro is selling it you KNOW it’s garbage 😂😂😂
AG1 Contains Electrolytes
Which you can get any number of ways
I do watch UA-cam quite often and I have never heard of this. Probably tells you something about who chooses to accept sponsorship of this. It seems we're never going to run out of people dumb enough to believe ridiculous claims for something you consume
I've been calling out AG1 for years. Shame on everyone who promotes that expensive shit. For the ridiculous price they don't even have all the nutrients their target audience would need. Sadly also some climbing Podcasters are promoting it...
UA-cam is for entertainment not for shopping
Literally has a prop blend. Enough said.
Bottom Line: If it's sporing UA-camrs don't trust it.
"Talk to your doctor" - Jeah like its that simple...
It's just an American thing ig
In Germany, I have to wait MONTHS to talk to my doctor, if it is not an urgent matter. On Monday, I have an appointment with my Ophthalmologist, but I have reserved and been waiting for this appointment since early September. This was the earliest appointment they have. Tbf, if I have an urgent matter, most doctors in Germany have an "emergency time slot" where you can go and wait in line to see the doctor, but that has to be an emergency (e.g. an acute illness). But there are health problems that are not emergencies, yet still make your life very difficult. In my case, my vision has been giving me a lot of trouble and I have been having styes in my eye very regularly, every few weeks
@CoreDump451 in India, you can visit any private doctor at any time, pay nominal 5ish $ visiting fee, get prescription etc in less than a few hours. For government doctors the line is longer but still doable. Your private insurance company here will reimburse most of your money anyways. Also essential medicine like insulin can't be charged a lot.
@@cannedCPUbro. obviously an opthalmologist is different than going to your gp, you must be aware of that

General practitioners and family physicians have similar, if not greater wait times, in public hospitals. This is common in most major cities in Europe, and has been since around the beginning of the 2010s. Reasons are widespread and vary upon location, with the majority of major city public hospitals/medical centers having been overwhelmed due to vast waves of immigrants, that require almost immediate assistance upon arrival- some with diseases that have been eradicated in Europe, or others with conditions requiring specialized care- and for multiple family members, and consistently thereafter, and with no expense out of pocket to them; multiply this many thousands of times, across multiple major cities, almost consecutively, for the better part of 15 years, and you can understand maybe what this does to the medical infrastructure of a country.
This places an overwhelming strain on these hospitals and medical facilities. Germany’s case is absolutely insane given the amount of arrivals they’ve received. I’m originally from Italy, and though the migrant situation causes a heavy strain in metropolitan hospitals nationwide, the large majority of issues stem from lack of investment, unfair and stagnant bureaucracy, and a lower amount of new medical professionals and doctors to support the system..
Damn views are getting suppressed
I don’t understand? What about the thousands who use it? The reviews? Probably better than the redbull I drink every morning lol. Its not a miracle it’s support
The only food I trust is red meat grass fed
Thats funny as "grass fed" is a marketing term that is in no way regulated. And red meat is connected to cancer.
You literally pay extra to get the small amount of nutrition from the grass that retained in the muscle meat. Like slightly more beta carotene and ALA omega3.
