I ordered this for my nephew who has Covid. He lost a bunch of weight so I am hoping this will help him get his strength back! I have used this mix myself and love it. I love product and the company.

See details for delivery est. As you would imagine the official site has glowing reviews, everyone rates the supplement a 4 or 5 stars. Checking Amazon feedback could be a little less biased shows an average rating of 4 out of 5 stars from reports when I wrote my review.
AG1 is not available on Amazon. I took a quick look at the one-star ratings to see what negatives come up. There is a day money-back guarantee but I found the information lacking on the site that outlines the conditions for this. Reaching out to their support team they explained I could return my Athletic Greens within days either opened or unopened. The most obvious choice is from the official website.
They used to be available on Amazon but they appear to have stopped selling on there now as of September You can buy a one-off or monthly subscription of Athletic Greens or go for their handy travel-sized pouches.
This is one of the most expensive greens powders around — certainly from the products I have seen. Athletic Greens is not meant as a meal replacement. You may need to experiment to see what works best in terms of flavor though.
The cheapest way to buy Athletic Greens is via their monthly subscription plan. The company is reputable and so I am confident in their customer service team. With the focus on so many ingredients in the formula, there will certainly be sacrifices in some ingredient amounts. Ultimately this means some ingredients will be less effective. I started this blog in , and after trying most of the popular super greens supplement brands, I was disappointed with the results. About the LifeHacker Guy.
In my youth I was a competitive Triathlete and long-distance runner placing top 10 in most triathlon races I completed.
Since suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I moved into web development, after a couple of years I then moved onto developing a number of online businesses. I've recently taken a sabbatical and I'm now looking to make big changes in my life, hopefully this may resonate with you - join me in my journey! I have two questions about Athletic Greens that I hope you can answer with all of your research.
I find it hard to drink it first thing in the morning as all I want is coffee. Can I drink it mid afternoon between lunch and dinner and still gain the benefits? And my second question is do you know if I can mix collagen powder with athletic greens in one drink like a smoothie and add yogurt and berries? Hi Sarah, Thanks for your questions.
You can still get the benefits — I do exactly this with my greens brand. To the best of my knowledge there are no established daily intake levels for the ingredients on the right — what would you do differently if you knew there was 10mg or 50mg of rosemary leaf extract or slippery elm extract?
Also I do appreciate the time you took to write the review. Other than the point above if was useful, however, one recommendation to make it easier to read would be to take 10 minutes and proofread. There are many simple errors like leaving out words like of and at. Makes it hard to focus on what you are saying with so many errors.
In terms of ingredient amounts, I am referring to the proprietary blends right-hand side of the label and not trace vitamins and minerals that have established recommended daily amounts.
I have given examples in my review, there is research that supports the minimum effective dosages of many ingredients, for example, Spirulina showing health benefits when consuming AT LEAST 1 gram per day.
Any product using proprietary blends hides the individual ingredient weights. Athletic Greens is a solid brand and one that I took for a while and so I would hope that most of the ingredients are in the right dosages, but we need to give the company the benefit of the doubt here.
The same cannot be said for many other brands that will cut corners and provide tiny dosages of the ingredients in favor of their bottom line. At the end of the day, I would prefer to know what I am taking, in what dosage, and that I am getting a supplement that lives up to the claims. I wonder if you could speak to this?
Thanks, -ashley. Athletic Greens is currently a little cheaper on Amazon than on the Athletic Greens website once shipping and handling is calculated. Check it out here. In general, I consider myself an optimistic skeptic when it comes to nutrition supplements.
Many brands sell an idealized image of wellness rather than a product that actually contributes to your wellness. I first discovered Athletic Greens back in when I applied for a marketing job with them. I was rejected and my consolation prize for making it to the interview stage was a discount code. So how does Athletic Greens stack up? What the heck is Hawthorn Root Extract or citrus bioflavonoids extract?
For the record, citrus bioflavonoids are thought to be particularly beneficial for capillary strength, possibly by helping protect collagen, and they may also promote healthy circulation, as well as immune, cognitive and joint health. On top of that, it functions as both a prebiotic and probiotic supplement.
Prebiotics are minerals and bacterial strains that help good bacteria, probiotics, survive in your gut. With many probiotics, a lot of bacteria are killed off in your digestive system before they have an opportunity to prove their benefit.
I found that the majority of the micronutrients are either comparable or offered in higher amounts in AG1. However, there were a few exceptions, such as calcium, pantothenic acid, copper, chromium, and manganese, which are significantly lower in AG1. There is also no iron, iodine, potassium, or vitamin D listed on the AG1 label, which may be lacking in many diets. The addition of vitamins and minerals to AG1 makes it a well-rounded option to substitute a multivitamin for most people.
Athletic Greens sells an add-on product of supplemental vitamins D3 and K2 that you can take in addition to this daily product. These two nutrients work together to help support your skeletal strength and bone health, muscle function, and normal immune response. As I mentioned, the Athletic Greens powder lacks vitamin D, a nutrient many people are deficient in.
It does contain K2 in the form of menaquinone-7 in one of its blends, but the amount it contributes is not called outright in the nutrition facts panel. This product is offered as liquid drops with an MCT coconut oil base. Research shows that vitamin D3 is better at positively influencing your blood levels of vitamin D compared to vitamin D2. Additionally, while some of us may get enough vitamin K1 from leafy greens in our diet, vitamin K2 is only found in certain animal-derived foods and fermented foods like natto, kimchi, and sauerkraut.
Below is our summary of the available evidence for the claimed benefits of Athletic Greens based on the available research:. There is relatively strong evidence in favor of the ingredients in Athletic Greens for energy support, immune system support, gut health and digestion, brain and neural function, and supporting normal blood sugar levels.
The recommended serving size for Athletic Greens is one scoop of powder 12 grams per day, to be mixed with 5—10 ounces of cold water. The consumer is instructed to drink it in the morning on an empty stomach for optimal absorption. The bag provides 30 servings.
However, the bag states that athletes or people with significant life stressors could take two servings per day if desired. The most commonly reported side effects I could find with this product include bloating, diarrhea, nausea, and digestive issues that may range in severity.
This means that the company has invested in unbiased third-party testing to verify the quality of ingredients and label claims. Additionally, this particular seal means that AG1 has been verified as being free from athletic banned substances. Third-party testing is a great perk for consumers and provides extra confidence in product quality. The product can also be purchased in the form of travel packets. Athletic Greens can be purchased directly from the brand website or the brand storefront on Amazon for a slightly higher cost.
There is a day money-back guarantee on the AG1 website. While there are many superfood blends and green drinks, Athletic Greens seems to go above and beyond in terms of its nutritional makeup and ingredient list. For example, Vibrant Health Green Vibrance is similar with a long list of ingredients, including sea vegetables, antioxidant superfoods, prebiotics, adaptogens, and enzymes. However, the daily recommended serving for this product is 16 capsules per day, which seems excessive.
These contain some similar ingredients to AG1, but their overall list is much shorter. Organifi uses all USDA organic plant ingredients, and all three products emphasize superfoods, digestive enzymes, probiotics, and adaptogens as the main components of their formulation.
All of these products are priced substantially lower than AG1. In some cases, they are one-third of the price for 30 servings. While I have nothing against these other products, none bear a reputable third-party testing seal, which I would argue is a significant selling point in favor of AG1, particularly when it comes to their pricing. I appreciate that this brand confidently stands behind its product and claims, has invested in third-party testing, and is transparent with its product information.
Does AG1 Athletic Greens replace a multivitamin? As discussed above, AG1 offers comparable macronutrient amounts to some daily multivitamins.
