   omg! really? Can’t figure out the reason for the increased cost? It is because of the expensive SPIRULINA! It is the first ingredient on the list.

     It could be the Spirulina. I’m not sure why it’s so expensive -maybe it’s their marketing model. It’s unfortunate because it is an excellent product.

   • • Well, finally! Someone mentions weight loss. That is the main reason I took the trial offer. The advertisement said it also helps one lose weight. Is there anyone who used Athletic Greens and actually lost weight? The health benefits are great… but I was hoping to shed a few pounds too.

       Hi Beverly,

       Thanks for your comments. Any good quality green drink can be a very helpful weight loss tool. First of all, dark-green vegetables, algae and grasses are nutrient-dense. They provide nutrition to the cells and the cells in turn provide us energy. Secondly, using a quality green drink as a meal replacement will help reduce caloric intake which will also help to achieve weight-loss -and healthy weight loss at that.

   • This amount for a month is insanely pricey for what looks like a smoothie. I’m all for trying to shed some pounds but I can’t see paying nearly $1,200 a year to do it (actually more when you add in the S&H fees).

     At that price it should also have fountain of youth properties. My gray hair should start turning black again and my skin will return to infant perfect smoothness.

   ​Too expensive! Prefer buying spiraling + vegetables, blend them together and drink! (Probably is even better this way!)

   • I am just a regular 47 year old mother of 2 that knew my body was not working right. I put off ordering Athletic Greens for about a year for all the reasons above… I was skeptical… But I gotta tell you…. It has been a game changer for me. I am totally weaned off of needing soda & caffeine to get through my day and off anti depressants ( which I didn’t really think I needed to begin with). My body had been feeling ” off” and this stuff must work because I feel much much better and more in balance. It actually tastes REALLY good , like papaya and while it looks disgusting, easy to gulp down each day. The $$ saved on coffee, diet coke, meds and doctor co-pays to try and figure out why I felt lousy is waaay worthy of the $97 a month… And I assure you I really can’t afford it but my health and well being is priority one right now. My husband now going to give it a try…. Which in itself is a miracle… Because he is pretty tight with spending money… But I think he sees how much better i feel mentally and physically. I don’t normally respond to stuff but i held off on this for so long and am sorry I did. I could have felt better a year earlier. I have been losing about a pound a week since starting this… but it goes hand in hand in feeling better so I have been exercising and watching my sugar/ processed food intake. The auto ship/ pay does not bother me…. One less hassle to worry about and yes… It’s their business model. They are allowed to make money. Wish I thought of it!!

     Thanks Beth,

     Finally someone I agree with in everyway, including having a cheap husband in which i am hoping to inspire to use this. I am so tired of all the whining about the cost. What you said is true; you can’t put a price on good health. Also I was spending a fortune too on coffee drinks, soda, sugary foods and anti depressants, alot more then $97. Hell have you seen what it costs to get a smoothie at a juice bar. The $97 is a lot less then i pay for all of the above to feel good. And by the way the taste is pretty good and i do feel better but i just started using it, hope it continues as it promises.

   So what is the essential difference in the nutrient content between TLD greens and Athletic greens?

   Thanks

   I did the Athletic Greens free trial and then canceled about a week before the subscription would kick in. I got a little resistance over the phone but it was basically hassle-free and I didn’t have to send any product back. Agreed. It is over priced. However, I’m now on a mission to find something to replicate the results I felt I got from Athletic Greens. I’m not experienced in this but I was very pleased with what I perceived as the benefits from AG: more energy, better nite’s sleep, less carb craving…..and I thought I could have made some inroads on weight control had I stuck with it. But not for 3+$ a day. So I’m looking. Thanks for the opportunity to comment and read others’ thoughts….very helpful.

   • I’ve read all of the comments and have to say that I believe all the inputs good and bad about this product and company. I’m a disabled Vietnam Vet who was one of the lucky guys who was exposed to the defoliants and pesticides used during the war. About three years ago it finally caught up to me in a big way and I’ve been suffering from chronic fatigue and pain ever since. I’ve been under the care of so many physicians it’s hard to keep them all straight, including traditional and homeopathic to try and improve my situation. Yes the cost is incredibly high, (way too much for us folks on a fixed income) but having said this, the medical professionals have pumped me so full of pills, tablets, powders, liquids and monthly injections, it doesn’t seem so bad when you add up the cost of the pharmaceuticals and natural remedies to this product. I’ve been taking it now for about a month and have seen weight loss which is incidental to me, but more importantly I feel better today than I have in the last three years.

   I have been taking Athletic Greens for 2 weeks now and I will say that while it does taste good to me and I have noticed an increase in energy, I have had bad faltulence and severe constipation since I begin taking it. This alone will probably cause me to stop taking it. My friend and I started at the same time and while they have experienced the exact same flatulence issue, they have had very good bowel movements and increased energy.

     Screeba,
     I don’t mean to scare you, but if you are near 50 years old and having problems with constipation and gas after you stopped the Athletic Green, go get a colonoscopy. My grandmother had a similar issue that she thought was due to a diet change and if she had gotten one sooner the cancer wouldn’t have grown as much as it did. No colon cancer in her family before her. Something to think about.

     A lot of people who start taking a green drink for the first time will notice some changes to their bowel movements including increased flatulence. This is directly related to the superfood greens and is normal. Your body will adjust to this.

I have been using the AG’s for 6 months. I dropped 35 pounds within the first 2 months but I was also following the elimination diet that the founder suggests. I have never felt better. I used to have horrible eczema, joint pain, digestive issues. I have none of that now. I have run 2 5k’s this summer. I called and got the “Trinity Pack” which includes omegas and Vit D. The cost is hard, and I have been looking for something equivalent that’s easier on my wallet, but I will keep paying until I find it. It’s worth it to me to feel this good.

Great website! I actually came to this site to find a replacement for my Athletic Greens. I’ve been taking AG for about 6 months now and am quite happy with the product and benefits. But am looking for something not so pricey. If you have a hard time choking down some of the other green drinks I recommend this as the taste isn’t bad, and that comes from a picky eater and I just mix it with water. A lot of people hating on the customer service here but I have had good encounters with them. After my trial order came the next bag was shipped to me with a very small hole so there was some powder getting out. I called to let them know and they sent me a new one no questions asked and gave me the 20% discount on my future orders. (I also used the opened bag just fine) So now I get it with shipping for around $86. And have called them a couple times to adjust the auto-ship timing with no problems. I haven’t tried a lot of green superfoods but this seems to work well for me, just wish it wasn’t so spendy.

 I’ve been taking that for a couple months now with amazing results. More energy and joint pain almost completely gone! Check it out.

Stay healthy my friends!

I must say, I have been taking Athletic Greens every morning for over 2 years now. I can honestly say that I feel terrific every single day. I am 76 years old and clean houses for a living. Nobody believes how old I am and I can work circles around young people. The one thing that I notice with older people is how they all seem to have problems with their weight which affects their legs. I do not have any problem and can still run with my grandchildren. I swear by the Athletic Greens that I take every day. No one is paying me to write this but I was reading the comment section and feel obliged to respond. My husband takes Athletic Greens also and he is a strong, energetic 77 year old. He also workks every day. We have stopped all the previous vitamins that we took and take only the Athletic Greens so it makes the cost seem less pricey as the benefits to us are worth it. It certainly is alot cheaper than being sick and going to the doctor which neither of us do. By the way, we also have 11 children and some of them also take Athletic Greens because they have seen the benefits to us. I hope our experience helps someone. Oh yes, I took a package to a health food store to see if they had anything equivalent but cheaper in price and the lady said that I had better stick with what I had as they didn’t have anything as complete as mine. I hope this helps.

Can you put these green veggies and other ingredients in a nutirbullet and get the same result? Add in carrots and drink Green tea. Right?

  Hi Teja,

  You bet you can. Most people don’t though on a day-to-day basis. Especially when it comes to obscure antioxidants and other nutrients that are tough to buy at the supermarket. But if you can do it consistently, there is nothing better for your health that that.

  Thanks so much for contributing.

I LOVED this product. It makes me feel great, helps my digestion, and taste really good. Unfortunately I cannot afford it. When I called to cancel, customer service was very friendly and helpful, issued a credit right away and told me to keep what I had. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive, other than that I have nothing bad to say about this product.

   My husband just sent me a link to the Texas Superfoods website asking me to compare it to Athletic Greens (I’ve been using AG for over 3 years now). My research on Texas Superfoods brought me to this site and then to this page, specifically. I felt I should throw my hat in the proverbial ring as there seems to be an awful lot of negative comments about Athletic Greens here. I’m a stay at home mother of 4 (ages 7, 4 and 2 year old twins). I started taking AG as a supplement when my second child was 6 months old. I have to say, I love the stuff! I am 44 and have never looked or felt better in my life. I used it through my twin pregnancy and while nursing (took it to my OB to be sure and got the OK). It is definitely pricey, although it is the only supplement I take (with the exception of my Omega 3s) and so I don’t mind investing in my health. Would rather pay on the front end to stay healthy than give to pharma later to try and get healthy. I have not had issues with their customer service. They’ve always been very friendly when I’ve moved the delivery date for one reason or another. Anyway – Real customer with 3 years experience: LOVE the product and have no issues with the customer service.

   I have learned so much in the past 6 or 7 years about the importance of healthy eating! So much so that I have a passion for passing on and teaching others, my daughters, family and friends, the importance of a healthier lifestyle! The hardest thing for me is the profit that others/companies seem to have to make in order to inform and make available the tools and products that would give more people the opportunity, financially, to live healthier! I love Athletic Greens! I want so much for my three daughters to be able to take Athletic Greens every morning when they wake up, as they all have some physical issues going on, non of which are bad right now but most certainly will if they don’t change their lifestyle, which to me includes taking Athletic Greens! But, unfortunately they can’t always afford to eat organically, nor just as myself, take Athletic Greens, and is the reason I will have to cancel my future orders!!
