Nutritionist examines AG1 and its superior alternative 

Tasty😂

the money shoveled into marketing has to made back somewhere, inferior quality or massive markup. ag1 has chosen mostly the latter. i find most supplement product placement borderline scam, since i spend quite some time researching (sports) nutrition... yet advertising ag1 to the average hobby sportsman is way more ethical than other stuff I've seen (ESPECIALLY outside the climbing niché)

Wait, you’re a climber?

I lose respect for everyone who chills it, especially if they say it taste good.

​@@galaxyguy4522 yes indeed, off to the wall tonight actually. Three times a week. Mark

Haha! Good point

If you have a consistent diet that would definitely work really well.

Lovely point, will do that

Good luck! $500 for nutrient testing and then supplements or dietary change to correct deficiencies and then another round of testing to verify that your body has the enzymes to absorb and convert the raw materials. Also, who knows what levels of various nutrients are optimal? Plenty of disagreement over this.

@@Krunch2020 Yup esp. since what your diet is based on will drastically alter your nutrition needs. Plant based diets have drastically different nutrient requirements than whole animal based diets. Then of course processed food diets don't count as human food. I'm not saying one does or doesn't provide required nutrition, rather what micronutrients your body actually requires while living on various diets changes. One may require large amounts of vitamin C and another very little - because in one youre producing collagen from amino acids and that requires vitamin c, and in others you're bringing in collagen peptides and you need far less to use those.

Mine started with the AG1 ad lol

I got an AG1 ad before the start of the video.

I had a Huel greens advert

And this is why I ay for Premium. So my content creators that don't sell out don't get undercut by their platform.

Well said

Would love to see him on JRE

I've seen dozens of channels call AG1 trash

Agreed but just remember, he needs to make some money to continue doing this!

He just gave you a list: salmon, sardines, beef, eggs, milk and maybe some liver for funsies.

@@ludvigericson6930 You forgot vegetables

DG1: 1 kilo of liver

@@ludvigericson6930 Vegans in shambles, I guess they're stuck with AGscam

​@@ludvigericson6930I'm a lazy sod, would rather buy one thing than covered all bases while still eating as healthy as possible

Honestly the most mad bit of this video. A RU-vid ad multivitamin being bad is unsurprising, getting 18 eggs for a quid is unheard-of 😂

Bro left a £1 coin for £6 of eggs! His farmer is going to be angry!

Well, they got some free advertising, that gotta count for something.

sponsored by a chicken farmer

no wonder Dave perceives AG1 as expensive :D

Absolutely £3.80 a bottle 😮😬

Much cheaper as a powder ​@@jjjjames5824

It’s really just oats.

It's in the same bullshit category as AG1, they convince you that you are just far too busy to possibly cook real food and need to slurp it down in a horrid shake instead. All the people I've seen drinking it are office working hipsters that definitely have the time for real food

I agree. I took it and it did F all. Weirdly I liked the taste that convinced me maybe it was good but then thought no this is a ridiculous price for some fancy marketing

Same and same. It tastes good so I was looking forward to taking it when I bought one test bag. Didn't feel the transformative effects Joe Rogan was boasting about...​@@charliebakes2

A good rule of thumb is that any product that is suddenly promoted by a ton of youtubers is at best wildly overpriced and more likely a bad product as well. Especially when it comes to food or (mental) health related products.

@@theoneandonlyAethI feel the same thing about LMNT.

@@djgulia3656 Yeah, you can get the same thing by adding salt, potassium, and magnesium to water and add your own flavourings if you can't drink it straight.

What's wrong with Soylent? Btw the latter is a meal replacement drink whereas the former is just a nutrient supplement drink.

"Soylent Green", is from the 70's film of the same name, (set in 2022!) the food substitute was being manufactured from the corpses of euthenised people 🤢

Also look for the main active ingredient and just buy that.

I'm not Dave, but if you look at Huel, the only reason they can claim it is "complete" is because they add vitamin and mineral supplements to it. So it is a blend of grain sludge with a multivitamin mixed in. You get all the problems of multivitamins maybe containing impurities like he mentioned in the video. Also the entire thing is build on the assumption that you can replace whole foods with supplements, which in my view is very arrogant since we might not have discovered every essential nutrient or component in real food yet. I would personally not feed any of that stuff to anyone

Best of luck to you man. Got got his.

Good video generally. There are far cheaper greens powders out there if you do want to use that to supplement antioxidants, perhaps alongside some things like CBD, ginger, turmeric etc that have actual anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting effects :)

Non-heme iron is inferior and the antinutrients in most plants cancel out benefits, or actually toxic for many.

Anti nutrients are destroyed by cooking in virtually all cases, they are of almost no concern to someone on a vegetarian diet. Human health data is abundantly clear and available that eating vegetables is good for you and entirely sufficient for excellent health if that’s how you want to live, excepting some individuals. A little bit of anecdata; I’m vegetarian and I donate blood as often as I can. I just had a blood test done recently and my hemoglobin levels were excellent. I take a multivitamin because it costs essentially nothing and gives me peace of mind.

@@msteg96 Phytates and oxalic acid are not affected by cooking which is why spinach in particular is useless for iron. I was vegan and vegetarian for 14 years and plant based for 20 more and fought the effects of deficiencies and toxins the entire time. Once I eliminated plants, all health issues vanished and training capacity improved dramatically. Animals defend themselves before getting in our mouths, plants fight us after.

@@terraflow__bryanburdo4547 Neither is superior or inferior; heme is more readily absorbed but can have harmful effects as well, non-heme is more poorly absorbed but it's not difficult for most to get enough iron by choosing certain foods, or taking eg a cheap multivitamin (which would also generally cover iodine and some vitamin D). The antinutrients thing is total nonsense unless you're eating raw spinach by the bucket
