- Everyone and their mom promotes athletic greens... But is actually healthy?
Because all the super legit people whose nutrition advice I respect don't endorse it.
But why?

Good work, here's the other side of the story. I started questioning AG1 because it's advertised as being made here in New Zealand but not available for sale here. I discovered the company was started by an ex Kiwi, Chris Ashenden, now living in Florida. He left New Zealand under a cloud after being found guilty of running a dodgy 'rent to buy' housing scheme. On sentencing Judge Moore said the offending contained strong elements of cynicism and the calculated exploitation of people. He promoted his 1st health supplement, known as 'Brainquicken' on websites and in blogs. In my opinion he realized he'd found a more easy to exploit market in health.
not to argue with you on your main statement, but "Brain Quicken" (as the widely known fact goes) was founded by _another_ rather famous gy, namely Tim Ferris (!), not _Chris Ashenden of AG1 fame.
@@AlexSokolovsky Thanks for the correction. I got my information from a Stuff news article about Chris. More proof you cant rely on main stream media for facts.
Amazing work! Wish I had seen this video before trying it last year. I only tried it twice, and both times I felt super sick. I was extremely dizzy, had the most terrible headache and my stomach felt off. I never even looked at it again. Thank you for the honest research!
That’s one of the most valuable videos that you have made so far. People need to know this. So many health and fitness channels are pushing this product without in-depth analysis is very irresponsible. It makes me sick!
thank you! i agree
please share!
@@wellnessdaddy I did. 👌
I tried not to like you or your video, thinking you were just another health and wellness podcaster. But your clear, concise way of cutting through the BS and sharing insights from various experts won me over. By the end of your video, I thought, "This guy is good." So I liked and subscribed-something I rarely do. I was wrong about you. Thank you!
thank you so much! i really try my best to make the best content I can. And I put a lot of work into this video. so your comment means a lot!
I can't imagine the amount of work you put into this video and It blows my mind that it only has around 3k views. The quality is very high and there is a lot of good information. Keep up the good work, i love your channel.
thank you so much! yes it did take a lot of work!
thank you for choosing to produce responsible content for your viewers. there is way too many creators who only care about making money from promoting products.
i promote lots of products but only ones i would personally use, and it became clear to me that I would not promote this after going deep
You're making better content than channels with 100x more subscribers. Your production value is already at their level too. It's not if but when for you. Thanks for the great videos. Keep them coming!
really means a lot rob, thank you. I'm putting everything I got into these videos.
AG1 is GENUINELY trying to make money. Full stop. I've been into this scene for longer than most of you ahve been alive, and AG1 hits all of the warning signs. Plants are not even shown to be necessary; if you ARE eating plants, you need fiber (which slows absorption of carbs) which pulverized stuff doesn't have, and the more processed something is, the less healthy it is. If you're gonna eat veggies, eat veggies - don't pay way more for an inferior processed knock-off. Plus, the head guy is a New Zealand con man whose last grift was a real estate scam.
My second packet of ag1 arrived, and three times that month I got deathly ill. I stopped taking it after the first time I got sick just to settle my stomach and not really realizing what was happening by the third time that I got sick. I realized the only thing I had that morning when I felt wonderful was ag1 2 hours later I was sicker than I've ever been and was rushed to the hospital. There was something toxic in that batch Have yet to find out what it was. I'm having it analyzed. St. 6 days of work due to it so don't bother.
jeez, that's intense
This is a detailed evaluation with an honest perspective, and I appreciate you making this video.
thank you! yeah a lot of work into this one
Tried AG1. Bottom line made me feel sick so I obtained a refund. No harm no foul. Thank you so much for making this video.
you're welcome
My whole family recently subscribed to your channel. Love your content.
wow, that's awesome, appreciate it!
Respect for calling this BS product out. I always knew it was a scam.
Thank you for doing this!
My pleasure!
I just found your channel and am so glad that I did!!! Thank you for doing all investigating. I could not understand what the hype was and did try it but it did not hold my interest. I thought I was missing something in my health because everyone was so into it and I could not understand it. Thank you Thank you Thank you. You have saved me money and peace of mind. I will continue to watch your channel.. Great Job!!!
thank you so much! glad you liked it
I don't have the study links, but it's starting to look like probiotics can possibly do more harm than good by creating monocultures and other issues. Rather it appears that multiple daily servings of fermented foods is the ticket. I stopped all probiotics and went the fermented route. Regularity and other issues like bloating improved, general inflammation seems improved, sugar/carb seeking greatly reduced.
What fermented food do you eat? Kimchi? Or something else?
@@jedikye Kimchi, quality yogurts, home fermented blueberries and raspberries. A friend of mine just let me try their one month fermented cherry tomatoes in 5% brine, garlic, basil... was amazing. Looking to add in more homemade stuff.
Same. I was taking the pb’s and the only difference I noticed was that I ended up with diarrhea and my belly was always slightly. I started eating a half a cup of raw sauerkraut every day, and I feel much better. No bloating, much less gas, and of course, more regular, healthy poops.
I think it's always good to be pretty skeptical about "out of the box" solutions like this, because one of the first things you realize (and it's a BIG AH HA) when you go down the Bio/Health Rabbit Hole is just how unique we all are and how important it is we cater to our situation (which never stays the same). So a standard juice or powder, although convenient and likely good to get you started, will only give you so much.
true
Just eat a cup of steamed organic broccoli or steamed green beans instead
Bryan Johnson just destroyed them in one of his latest videos. A must see!
Thanks for the honest review. Your channel is very informative, I appreciate the education. Subbed. 👍🏽
thank you!
Enjoy the greens...the METAL TOXICITY is FREE.
ha!
Bro this is so good!
thanks g
honest review
YES you are alert it has a lot of green tea caffeine.
Awesome video. Thanks. When I took it, I was doing it every other day because of the cost. Now I'll save 100 percent.
Lol glad you found it helpful!
How does it taste?
@TheBerkeleyBeauty It tastes pretty good, but I felt no better on it!
Excellent video, thank you for sharing. 👍
thanks for watching
Great content ... thanks for this ... now a new subscriber ... 😊👍
thank you!
Lmao - 2/3rds the way through this video, was an ad fir ag1 🤣🤣🤣
lawl
Great video. Really helpful.
awesome, thanks
Cool and all but what is better!? WE ALL WANT TO KNOW PLEASE!
real food
Great video!!
Lot of people getting scammed
what's with the eerie background scream at 1:31. is this a purposeful cortisol raising manipulation to get people to be hyper alert and HAVE to watch. If so, shame on you, be abetter person & cut it out!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I LOVE YOUR THUMBNAIL 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
i love it too! thank you
Honestly-you would perform a greater good by reviewing pharmaceuticals like Pfizer’s Covid vaccine and Nov Nodisk’s Ozempic that will affect significantly more people than AG. Truly-your expert’s analysis on major pharma products would be infinitely more helpful. If AG is questionable, then so are most supplementals Americans are taking. Think about K’Chava-same critiques. I will trust Tim Ferris over the random group you have assembled. Please provide their resumes.
thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I wonder if it causes Oxylate kidney stones.
i'm not going to find out!
Excellent video.
I simply eat right. It takes about 3 months of diligence to dial it in (in light of how poor our food is) but I stated 8 years ago and reversed every issue including being overweight. People would think I’m super disciplined but I’m not - I just developed a strong preference for feeling good all the time and eliminated all the stuff that jeopardizes that. Fruit smoothies and bagels come to mind…
My regimen includes beef organ supplements which drastically improved my health.
I cycle them though because I trust no brand.
Did you not manage to get the AG sponsorship?
lol
Wait til you find out how bad taking "adaptogens" every day is
Please elaborate..?
My personal say - it has really helped me with afternoon fatigue and eye fatigue. If I don’t take it I notice the fatigue comes back.
no it hasn't
@@AndyS52. You don’t know me. I do agree it is not for everyone. Is it the magic pill, no. I’ve tried going off it and back on it a number of times and it seems to make a difference.
@@chrisroberts3963 placebo
I think it's a bit selfish and narcissistic to value personal experience over "science" Yes science changes but it has also debunked quackery that has come from anecdotal personal experiences throughout history. As an extreme example, if people valued personal experiences to that extent then thinks like smoking or doing radiation drinks and the like would still be considered beneficial. A less extreme example of this selfish thinking is the athlete that doesn't want coaching as they think they know best how to perform based on personal experience whereas a coach could never provide any extra insight. Most people would see the faulty thinking there.
I'm glad the science is being examined at a deeper level here rather than diving deeper into personal experiences of the product. Not to diminish personal experiences of people like Jeff, but his take is incomplete like you said.
That’s so dumb
I have not seen any deep analysis in this video, but opinions of people represented as experts. A prominent peculiarity is, this channel tends to mention specific products conveying their own attitudes. That’s a sign to stay on the critical side. There may be other channels with other experts you can like too saying different things. Listening to others and doing own research is helpful.
Sure, real food with natural concentrations and volumes is better. This part is represented well.
you have no idea how much work went into this video, and making sure i did my due dillegence and be as objective as possible, ive yet to see another video on the topic that goes that deep.
Not only is it not healthy, it's actually bad for you
"I want athletic greens to be great" why?
@@AndyS52
- for the people buying it, you just spent 100$. You want health and diet to be easy, you want this to work.
I also see a bit of a superiority complex from the people who engage in these “health protocols” people like Huberman shill. It’s often people who are insecure about their body or struggling with their health (totally understandable) and being privy to “the latest research” and these life changing regimes perfectly calibrated through science gives them a sense of control and eliteness. If you actually look at the research, people like Huberman often cite studies that are poor quality.
- for the people shilling it, the money they are making (there’s crazy margins to be made by selling supplements since they are so cheap to produce, people like Huberman are probably making millions by promoting them every year)
The gut biome is insanely intricate and interconnected with the human body. Science is just recently starting to find this out.
When I see a video that features a lot of people discounting gut health awareness, I check out.
Just one more piece of crap content complaining about problems, and not offering solutions.
Very balanced and extremely professional presentation. Keep up the good work. I predict your subscriber base will continue to grow.
thank you!!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! I´ve been hoping that someone on UA-cam finally would do a critical video on AG1 since so many other UA-camrs are pushing it so much, so thank you :)
haha yes someone had to!
Bro with the best thumbnail I’ve seen while looking for green powder and only this many views. Unreal
lol thanks man! appreciate the support
I took AG1 daily for three months and so no real difference, so seeing this video helps me realize I should look for an alternative. Thank you! Was there any standout alternative the people you talked or you recommend?
Oura Organics was the only one that one of the experts mentioned
todacco also makes one feel a bit more sharp and focused, lol. so "feelings" are not a deal maker\breaker for me.. i'd wait 2-3 month to evaluate results. but yeah that is a great point - stripped of all fiber, are there polyphenols in there. a question for a food (supplement) technologist
citing Web, "Non-extractable polyphenols (NEP) are polyphenols that are bound to dietary fibre (DF) and have important health benefits to humans. Past studies have used hydrolysis methods to extract NEP, studying NEP and DF separately. However, hydrolysis may affect their structures and functional properties."'' so... the question is open
as far as my research goes (yes there are textbooks with 3rd party test results with comparison charts), USANA supplement are somewhere on top on the safety list (way above AG1 and Amway, i.e.)
as ive tryied AG1 and still have a few packets left ... 🤔 💭 glad i caught this video Thank you
Great video! The algo needs to do a better job and put these videos in my feed.
haha thank you! i agree, it deserves to be seen!
Listening to this and other @Wellness Daddy videos, I have a general comment that I am happy to find others who test products and procedures on themselves for health and wellness improvements. I haven't met anyone in person who does this but feel reassured to know that some people out there also do. (I have tried many health-improvement diets, especially allergen-eliminations which are not nutrient-restrictive, etc.)
"Juice" your greens, forget powders, end of story (Stop being lazy)...
Great video. Thanks for shedding light on this.
you're welcome!
Thank you for this! Keep up the great content! We all need it!! 💗🙏💗
appreciate it!
I'm so glad I never bought this as I was considering . I keep thinking this is why Kara developed seizures.
The violin intro be giving me anxiety about greens powder
lol good
Wow I was messing with AG1 because of all the hype, then I fell out of habit and now I have 2 bags sitting in my refrigerator. I was trying to decide if I should start again this was very helpful. Thank you for the holistic look at this product. The heavy metal part was interesting. It does seem like the cost is more than the benefit. THANK YOU!!
that's for nice comment, put a lot of work into this one!
Just concerned. Are you able to grow out your eyebrows. When I was taking many substances I started losing my eyebrow hair, it is grown back now with the proper vitamins fats etc.
Thinning eyebrows at the outer edge is a sign of hypothyroid
