I hear Athletic Greens’ AG1 advertised on all the podcasts.
I finally bit the (very expensive) bullet and have been taking it for a month – haven’t noticed anything subjectively, but the experts suggest taking it is conducive to long-term health.
Thoughts?
Why not Superfood instead?
It’s products like this that lead us (Biotest) to create Superfood. Meaning, “greens” products with known allergens that give many people trouble, and ingredients that may lower testosterone. Superfood was our counter to what was a good idea – a convenient blend of super foods – but with badly executed products on the market (Greens+ at the time.)
We wanted to use such a product, but wouldn’t touch the available supplements out there. So we made our own.
Also, Athletic Greens is normally $79 for 30 days. Superfood is $49 ($37 with subscription) for 60 days.
Hey, having Joe Rogan talk about it doesn’t come cheap. You pay more for that, while receiving, in my opinion, a less-good product.
Oof. $79 for a 30-day supply? That’s rough.
Personally, I would opt for Superfood going forward. You can get a 60-day supply for $49.
I don’t have any experience with Athletic Greens, but I’ve used Superfood for years. Love it.
Thanks, y’all! Definitely open to switching to Superfood. Is there any way to see online how much DV it provides of vitamins/minerals (e.g., Vitamin A, B, etc.)?
Would you mind elaborating?
For example, licorice root powder, contained in Athletic Greens. Reported to decrease serum testosterone concentrations. Possibly because glycyrrhizic acid, the active component of licorice, interferes with 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the conversion of androstenedione to testosterone. Sometimes it’s recommended for women who are worried about being too hirsute (hairy).
