As a German and a big fan of blueprint this is exactly the kind of video I’ve been searching for and the supplement list is just gold thank you soo much
Thank you, Marius, for your thoughtful review! I’m Sil, the founder of OLV Limits, and I appreciate your feedback. We understand some of our customers find our olive oil expensive. We’re working on it! Our new product, Mellow Yellow, is priced at €28 per liter, offering great quality 373 (mg/kg polyphenols) at a lower price. Our Green Machine olive oil is pricier because it is an early harvest, where the olives are still green and not as juicy, yielding less oil (9 kilos of olives for 1 liter) compared to late harvest (5 kilos for 1 liter). This results in a really high amount of antioxidants, unlike the majority of olive oils, which are typically from late harvest. We’re also planning to offer larger tins in the future to reduce the price per liter, as much of the current cost comes from the bottling process. If your viewers have any questions or feedback, please feel free to reach out!
@@PuppiesAreNice. they literally mention the answer to this question in their post :) Green Machine is 900+ while their other product will be 380+ as it's late harvest. Hence, yes, it changes it a lot.
@@PuppiesAreNice. Yes, the timing of the harvest significantly affects the polyphenol count. There are many factors influencing polyphenol levels, including freshness, olive variety, amount of sun, and harvesting methods, but when the olives are harvested has a big impact on it. Most olive oil is harvested later in the year because consumers are more focused on price than quality and are often unaware that early harvest oils are higher in antioxidants. Early harvest olives are still green and not as juicy, yielding less oil (so more expensive) but packing more polyphenols. In contrast, late harvest olives yield more oil (so cheaper) but have lower antioxidant levels.
wtf, das erste europäische Review was ich sehe und dann heißt du einfach mal auch Marius, genau wie ich :D nice Ich koche momentan alles selbst + ein paar Supps, weil mir das alles zu teuer ist. Starkes video!!
thank you for the review. i am watching YT's that show their substitutes for Blueprint. one positive thing about Bryan, is that he lists his protocol ingredients so that you can DIY. the Blueprint products were partly for himself (reduce the # of supplements) & others who want the convenience. i especially want to find a good olive oil, but just beginning my hunt in the US. i was hoping for a CA brand to reduce shipping. i live in MN.
Thank you for this really helpful review! Just a small correction if I may.... On Bryan Johnson's snake oil, it has a total phenol count of 908 if you look at the certificate on the website, additionally it states on the website that the snake oil is shipped separately to the stack i.e. it is shipped from location (Portugal etc.) so it does not need to fly around the world. Nonetheless, I agree, there are plenty of local alternatives available.
I haven't tried the blueprint products, but I have come to the same conclusion as you have. The supplements are probably good value, especially if you consider the convenience of it. If you ever tried to take 30+ supplements per day, you will know that it is a huge pain to prepare them each week and to keep track of restocking / reordering. But for the foods (olive oil, cocoa, nutty pudding) you are better off getting your own. I have been eating a nutty-pudding inspired breakfast for years and it is cheaper and I can customize it to my needs and liking.
man I love you, I am so glad I've found your channel Im 20 and I want to live to 120 but I don't have enought time to research this stuff because I work and study I wish you best luck and hope your channel grows
Appreciate the honest review brother! Great channel too! As far as the oil goes, I am Croatian (currently living in the US), and considering Croatia has some of the highest quality olive oils in the world that's all I am using. Other products of his are great in my opinion, but I found they work a lot better now and don't cause me any side effects once I have adjusted my diet, sleep, exercise, and everything else. They might be a bit pricey, however it's a lot cheaper long term than dealing with health issues, meds, and therapies down the road lol. In other words: choose your expensive. Either the expensive prevention or expensive recovery afterward. Keep up the great work!
Thanks brother for comment & love. I am 100% on your side! Great to hear you adjusted to the side effects & if you have the spare change the BP stack & food is definitely not a bad choice! (just with flying Snake oil around the world unnecessarily I have my problems with, but seems you are settled on that front too in Croatia ;)
I think the enticing factor for Bryan's Nutty Pudding is that it packs over 400mg of cocoa flavanols per serving, which you cannot get with your raw cacao suggestions. I think this is worth pointing out, I have been trying long and hard to find a comparable alternative and have not yet found one unless I use ludicrous amounts of cocoa which makes the dish not enjoyable.
Good review. In terms of virgin olive 🫒 oil i use a Greek one with higher polyphenols levels than Bryan one plus its third party tested too. Nutty pudding you are better off making it yourself and its cheaper. Supplements you can get it cheaper apart of the longevity mix Powder which is excellent 👍🏻 Same conclusion i had here too
I like the supplements from the stack a lot, but also all the other things are really good quality. And I really like the Longevity Mix taste because it is more original compared to other electrolyte drinks that I’ve had, the blood orange flavor. Everything tastes like it would be sweet but it’s not, doesn’t create big insuline spikes. I am really liking the stack, and I agree with the oil we have many sources in Europe that are good Greece, Sicily, but for the US, it’s amazing quality! ❤
Fantastic video! Imho, I think that the supplements are definitely worth it. The nutty pudding I made before I tried the packaged product was wayyyyyy better. As you stated, it does just taste like a gluggy protein powder, where as homemade, the berries are fresh and tastes a lot different. If you can source your own high level olive oil that’s great too. I think for my next purchase I will only buy the supplements and then follow the diet online, preparing my own meals.
As an American this is a horrible review. Not because it’s bad but because it’s being ranked incorrectly and missing context in almost all categories. Green giant that you showed that you’re an affiliate for is only half as potent as a true green giant, the drink you prepared didn’t use enough water and was more of a shot which could make the flavor to strong, and the olive oil was super base level review. For start Bryan doesn’t care much about the taste he cares about longevity, his oil is 5 layers deep for it to be considered, polyphenol count is only the first layer, there are olive oils that are awarded from Italy that go up into the 1200 band but that’s not all the context. I could go on but this just seemed slightly disingenuous
Fanboys in the house. Cellular aging takes place despite whatever healthy lifestyle is followed no matter how rigorous. Brian is selling you a dream. Literally " selling "
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts here! Let me say upfront: I am a big Bryan fanboy. Thats why I got his 430€ full stack in the first place. Does not mean I agree with everything he does, says or sells. While I provide a critical review of BP products, I do IMHO give a fair rating and gave my best to be honest in my review & share my research and data. Just to go into one of your points: the 5 layer deep & missing context. Yes, thats what Bryan says & while I believe him, I could not find a single lab certificate or research paper that support his claims to is rigorous lab tests and clinically relevant doses. I hope he changes this in the future (or if you know better then pls enlighten me!). Contrary, I tried my best to put together a list of EU supplement products that do provide lab certificates for their products (not all have them, but then I tried to educate myself of the supplier as to whether they are reputable). That said, lets look at the EVOO I recommend: OlvLimits (and yes I get commissions if you buy through me, so please do ;D) on his website you can find statements AND the lab certificates of his recent batch to back up those statements. IMHO this is at least 1 layer deeper than Bryan in establishing trust ;) but I'll ask Sil, the expert & founder to answer this. Hope that clarifies a few of my thoughts and provides more transparency.
To be honest, Italians and Greeks, who actually make like quality EVOO, can easily tell from taste which evoo is better and higher quality. So yes, taste is definetely a valid argument when comparing evoo. While I am a HUGE fan of Bryan, I buy my imported italian evoo locally in Hungary. The EU has higher regulatory standards than USA when it comes to food and drugs anyways, so some of the concerns Bryan has about evoo aren't even legal here.
I recognize and respect your work, but I want to tell you one thing: the brands you use for all the products as a substitute (Natural Sunday, Koro) may be cheaper, but they will potentially cause more health problems than health benefits. The products from these brands are so heavily contaminated with pollutants and impurities that I would stay away from these brands. I have had independent analyses carried out myself and even with in-depth research through study reports, you can quickly find out, even on their website. And this is exactly the difference and this is also a point that Bryan mentioned in an interview: when he dealt with all these supplements, he only realized how dirty and harmful all these medical products are. And this is exactly where the decisive difference is. He wants to eliminate such pollutants. And he carries out downright absurd tests with zero tolerance. So you have to weigh up what is really worth more here.
But to put it another way: I WISH there were opportunities in Europe to make these supplements (pills) more affordable and individual, but in the same high quality as far as harmful substances are concerned
Europe ships leftover olive oil to U.S. and is generally tasteless or rancid. Bryan’s is a good deal compared to equivalent good quality California olive oil. Do a lab test to see which cocoa has the least heavy metals.
Hallo zusammen. Hat jemand eine Kakaoquelle mit regelmäßigen Schwermetallunteruchungen. Also Zertifikate die auch tatsächlich Microgramm Verunreinigungen angeben?
thanks for making this video! I've been following Bryan for a while now and I'm trying to adapt to his protocol. As a fellow European I wasn't sure if it's worth buying his BP Stack. This really helped!
By the way, you've got a new subscriber here, and looking forward to sharing this journey with you, Marius! I'm 27 and from Canada. I hope you keep making videos, I can see you getting big on here!
Finde ich wirklich super, dass du das Alles für europäische Verhältnisse testest und uns sinnvolle Alternativen vorschlägst. Gerade bei dem Olivenöl halte ich es doch auch für absurd, das aus den USA zu bestellen, wo wir in Spanien; Italien und Griechenland die besten Öle der Welt haben.
Just checked out your blueprint page. Super excited to see what you're doing there! As a woman I'm wondering how we can adapt such blueprint to fit our own rhythms. Also I'm curious how you did the tests to adapt the supplements diets to your own body. Plus, looking forward to updates about your long term goals once your 10 000$ is finished, I saw the end date is approaching. Finally, how can one just starting on this path begin ? If you could make a walk through guide for us just starting, I think such video would be a hit! Blessings!
Thanks for the feedback, suggestions & love :) I have been trying to convince my fiancee to join & if I become successful at that you'll see more female based content ;)
Bei den Olivenölen wärs interessant gewesen wie Bryan Labortests zu haben um zu sehen wie hoch evtl. Belastungen sind etc. Anhand des Geschmacks kann man ja nicht so viel sagen, aber der Aufwand dass komplett durch die Welt zu schiffen um dann wieder hier zu laden, macht natürlich als jemand der hier wohnt wenig Sinn😅 Und wichtig ist ja an sich viel mehr die Wirkung der Produkte. Hast du beim Longevity Mix z.B. irgendwas im Körper gespürt? Weil Bryan meinte in einem Interview von allen Produkten, wenn er nur eins empfehlen müsste, dann wäre es der Mix. Und wenn er wirklich mehr Energie gibt, wacher, Stress reduziert usw. dann kann ich mir schon vorstellen dass es super praktisch wäre🤔 Sups würde ich mir eh auch woanders holen. Das Kakaopulver hätte mich auch noch interessiert, da das ja extra wenig Schwermetalle + extra viele Polyphenole enthalten soll. Gefühlt war das Video wirklich eher ein Geschmacksreview und nicht wirklich tief bzw. ne Antwort auf die Fragen, die wir Bryan Johnson Watcher uns stellen - da will ich dem ein oder anderen Kommentar auch zustimmen und das als Anregung mit dalassen🙂
Thank you for the video Marius. I was wondering. You say the price of the supplements is way too high, and you made a comparison table with alternative products. When I check the table I see that Bryan's dosage prices are lower than your per day alternative prices. So Bryan's supplements are actually cheaper or am I not reading the table correctly?
Hi Marius, I had to admit that I’ve enjoyed watching your video. Blindfolding your partner reminded me of the movie “9 1/2 Weeks” and Kim Basinger. Nice touch ;) However, as European living in North America I was expecting a bit more of an effort you’ve put into this review. Like … is there anything else to rely on than that taste buds? Kind of: beauty is in the eye of beholder … and trust me 😂 Hope that one day you’ll be able to publish some serious review. Anyways, thank you for the good entertainment 😊
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. My goal for the video was to entertain. while providing my & my partners honest feedback. The guide I put together was aimed to be the more "serious" data based counterpart. Have you checked that out?
46eu per litre of olive oil is still extremely expensive no?? Any tips on how to find a good quality olive oil for a cheaper price? Rn i have one from the supermarket for 9eu but no idea how to check the quality of it..
46 is too much because of US import You can opt for local deals 12-20 eur per liter is ok. Personally I buy the unfiltered IlCasolare oil 6 bottles at a time
We understand these prices are not affordable for everybody. So, we just launched our new product, Mellow Yellow, which is priced at €28 per liter offering great quality at a lower price. Our Green Machine olive oil is pricier because it is an early harvest, where the olives are still green and not as juicy, yielding less oil (9 kilos of olives for 1 liter) compared to late harvest (5 kilos for 1 liter). This results in a really high amount of antioxidants, unlike the majority of olive oils, which are typically from late harvest. We’re also planning to offer larger tins in the future to reduce the price per liter, as much of the current cost comes from the bottling process. If you have any questions let me know ;)
Yes but it has an insane amount of polyfenols. More than Blueprint one. But yeah, read comment of the company that produces this one, they'll have a cheaper version. I'll go for it once it's available!
@@olvlimits Ty for responding, so what would u say is the biggest difference between other olive oils and yours and for example the one from bryan johnson.. is it mainly the high antioxidants and polyphenol content? Also is there any way i could try out a sample or is the only way to just place an order?
You guys missed the entire intent of the Blue Print diet. It's not about taste. It's about the nutritional value of longevity and healthy aging. Also, it does t seem as if you prepared the drink properly. To me, this does not qualify as a proper critique of blueprint. It has to be examined from a scientific perspective
I had horrific stomach cramps which gave me weeks of non stop panic attacks from taking sunflower lecithin like he recommends with the nutty pudding.. never again i will take that! He should put a warning with that supplement!
Wow thanks. I wonder if this is the ingredient causing my stomach issues on Bryan Johnson’s diet. I hadn’t figured it was caused by sunflower lecithin. Thanks for sharing!
everyone's sensitivities are different. it is almost impossible for the companies to give more than the dozen or so agreed upon warnings that they do on allergens. as long as the ingredient declarations are clear & honest, most people will scan the labels for their needs. i would like to try the longevity supplement, but it has glucosamine sulfate, & glucosamine chondroitin causes arthritis/joint symptoms for me. there are lists of allergens, the top 3, the top 7, the top 10, 12, 20, 30. & always exceptions. is it the sunflower or the lecithin that is the problem?
My grandparents lived all over 90 years of age and didn t took no supplements.. just live in the country side for all their life.. nowadays people take all kind of stuff and think they ll live 100+ years.. i think it s not the case and in my unexperienced opinion that guy Bryan looks old for the age he says he has and i m not sure that his diet is good for the brain.. who will live another 30-40 years if he still be living then will see how he does then.. until now he hasn t convinced me
Correlation does not equal causation. If I drank Diet Coke everyday and lived to 100 I could say that Diet Coke is the reason I lived so long, doesnt mean that thats the case (e.g. Theresa Rowley) it could all be genetics at the end, but it’s better to err on the side of caution. People really judge the book by it’s cover when it comes to Bryan Johnson, but does not do a modicum of research. His biomarkers are incredible for his age. Please give him a more honest review we would all do better not assuming malice so quickly. All his data is for free which is amazing because most will not do that.
Great review, but tbh you are more expensive with the sunday natural stack than the blueprint stack. The supplements seem to come down to €12(!) a day! That ends up to be almost a €150 more than the blueprint stack. There are ways to get it cheaper, but this doesn't seem to be it tbh. The green giant can easily be mixed together yourself and you can get more nutrients in, too. I personally have been looking up as many powdered form alternatives as i could. A lot can be gotten that way, even organic, and you can save gigantic amounts of money. I have optimized my stack to reduce the entire cost to about €170 a month, and i am still looking for ways to get it down more. This includes creating a green giant. You can also cut costs on nutty pudding if you buy everything in large quantities and freeze it in. And i live in germany, just like you.
Thank you for this comment & the love :) I am 100% on your side. If you want to get everything thats inside the BP Supplements, they seem to be a great deal! Purpose behind the spreadsheet with EU Alternatives, was to give people an easy to access resource where they can pick together an individual stack oriented alongside whats in Bryans. Tbh it didn't surprise me that listing individual supplements as alternatives to the mixed supps from Bryan would come out more expensive, since all need to be bottled, shipped, ect. seperatly. I guess you save a lot by just putting everything in a couple pills. Still, doing this research manually was a good exercise to get a feeling for A) whats in the BP stack & B) what comparable market prices are & C) if I actually need it at the moment. My conclusion is: at my age I run cheaper & better getting fewer supplements and putting together my own stack.
@@Fountain-of-Youth thanks for your reaction! I do really appreciate it! Yes, its also more expensive if most you get is pills from extremely reputable companies like Sunday naturals. They are generally expensive, but we know they are produced well and safe. We could pay twice as little for certain other brands, but it's the question if they are any good. The only alternative that beats all options is finding ways to get an organic version of the powdered form, and supplements where you have to. Keeping in mind the expiration date, you can buy all that in bulk (some I bought up -to a year's supply ahead as it was so much cheaper). Same with nuts and berries. and I am just freezing them in. If you do this we'll, you can do this safely for up-to a year. I write dates on everything. Having that said, you are likely a bit younger than I am. I am 43 and decided that my lifestyle wasn't good for me any longer. I also don't want to be quite as extreme as Brian, and am also looking at guys like Pascoe and also looking at ways to eat and live for optimal performance. As the blueprint alone makes me miserable. And I don't believe one will live longer if one feels miserable, so there needs to be a balance. :) Thanks a bunch for the great content you put out there, but also getting into this discussion with me. I appreciate it. And it says a lot about how much you care! :)
Marius - wow, first time here, this channel is awesome! I was wondering how you went about monetizing your channel - like are there any youtubers you watch to help learn channel monetization? Like what is the significance of getting people to your mailing list, or to the links in your description? I've seen so many youtubers do this. Do you do outreach for affiliate links or something too?
Thank you! I am still figuring this part out, haha. As of now I am all about getting some traction although this video A) was the first one that got some significant traction & B) earned me some money through affilate links. I am considering to offer 1-1 coaching soon. What do you think about that?
@@Fountain-of-Youth I feel like you should put a $5 paywall or something like that behind your Custom Longevity Blueprint page or your EU Excel guide. Make one of them free though so there's still incentive for people to sign up to your mailing list. In terms of 1 on 1 coaching, it can't hurt. If you launch it and your time gets consumed, then just raise the price. I am no expert at this though! It is a confusing space and I'm trying to figure it out.
What a lovely couple! Thanks for sharing this video, it was interesting. Nutty pudding without nuts...ok that is WHAT I CALL SNAKE OIL...AND JUST NUTS...HAHA
Thank you! I am still looking myself. At the moment I buy the organic raw cocoa from Wohltuer.de, but am still waiting on a response from their support as to whether they lab test.
Cooles Video, danke dafür :) Man zahlt ja immer für Convenience und für Amerikaner ist es sicherlich schwieriger, an die guten Zutaten zu kommen, finde den Preis okay für "man muss sich über nichts mehr Gedanken machen und alle Zutaten und deren Herkunft prüfen". Vor allem auch im Vergleich zu so "Mist" wie AG-1. Ich hab in letzter Zeit sehr viel Gutes über Leinöl gehört, auch wegen Omega-3, Omega-6, wie ist da deine Meinung zu?
Vielen Dank für deinen Kommentar! Das stimmt sicherlich, ich hatte in meinem Research auch geschaut wie teuer frischer Nutty Pudding in den USA ist und wenn ich nicht falsch liege sind wir bei $7-9. Da ist Bryan's packaged version deutlich günstiger. Zum Glück sind Lebensmittel in der EU noch nicht so teuer und man bekommt auch erschwinglich gute Quali. Bzg. Leinöl, ja das hab ich auch gehört aber ich mag den Geschmack nicht. Mein O3/O6 Ratio könnte auch noch besser sein, und da würde das sicherlich gut tun. Eine Alternative dazu soll auch Chiaöl sein.
Hi Jacob, its directly linked at the top of the guide in the line: "Want to go straight to the supplement sheet that provides EU Alternatives? Click here."
Is there a possibility of sharing your EU supplier for EVOO for private purchase? Been buying 5L cans from spain, but they don't test for polyphenol count.
Unfortunately the supplier is limited in its supply and at capacity with current demand, so no sorry I wont share that. However, with a bit of research there are plenty of farms in Italy (south esp.) that have great EVOO. All the best!
Hi Marcel, vorbildlich dass du dich schon so früh für gesundes Leben interessierst. Das war bei mir ganz und garnicht so ;) Meiner Meinung nach würde ich in deinem Alter erstmal die Finger von Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln lassen, auch Longevity Mix. Versuch die Basics (Schlaf, Sport & Ernährung) erstmal zu optimieren und wenn du diese gemeistert hast und so um die 20 bist, kannst Du ja mal ein Blutbild machen lassen und schauen ob was fehlt. Wenn dem so ist, würde ich dann gezielt anfangen zu supplementieren. LG
@@Fountain-of-Youth Danke für deine Antwort. Ich glaube, dass du Recht hast. Es ist halt ziemlich nervig meinen Eltern jedes Mal zu sagen, was sie einkaufen sollen und wie sie zu kochen haben. Übrigens habe ich am Anfand dieses Jahres schon einen Bluttest gemacht, bei dem alle Werte im Normalbereich waren.
@@Fountain-of-Youthwhy though? You make money of viewers. Everything you do is copied from brian’s work. He gives information for free. You add 0 value mate
Yes, its a small organic farm in Sicily. Thats all I'll say ;) Should you ever visit the south of italy, you'll be able to find plenty of farms with great EVOO for good prices.
@@Fountain-of-Youth That will be a really long trip, since I live in Denmark. I got a really good EVOO with high polyphenols from Spain online for only 12€ for a 1L bottle. But they are out and won't have them in stock until October/November 😥 I haven't been able to find any other EVOO with high polyphenols for a reasonable price😢
@@1337ghomri I feel you. Been in the same situation before. Thats why when olive harvest starts end of summer / autumn I stock up on a yearly supply of EVOO!
Yes but your oil hasn't been tested for chemical quality! you don''t really know if something is missing or is too low... This seems just a taste (except for the acid reflux) review that is not really scientific... too bad, i would like a more scientific examination of the alternatives.
The funny thing about "anti-aging" people is that they don't actually look like they are not aging. They look like they are trying their hardest not to look old.
Very bad review. No stats. Your purpose is to push other products that’s not compared correctly just your personal opinion. I’m have no tried Johnson’s products just to say your review sucks
