Can we talk about how these powdered greens supplements are right up there with Amino Acids as some of the most worthless supplements you can buy? They add the vitamins in the powder separately from the dried greens so you're pretty much taking a glorified multi-vitamin at 10x the price. They also group half the ingredients under proprietary blends so you know everything in there is underdosed as fuck because they don't have to disclose the actual amounts in the blend, especially with a supplement containing 75 ingredients. They also advertise this stuff as "Alkaline" when your diet has literally no effect on the Alkalinity/ph levels inside your body. Any effects you will feel from this crap is straight placebo, of course Dean is pimping it on his podcast now.

What is the knock on the Amino Acids supplements? (genuine question)
 
What is the knock on the Amino Acids supplements? (genuine question)
As long as your daily protein intake is adequate (typically 1g per pound of lean body weight) then you are already getting all the amino acids you need as protein is made up of amino acids and supplementing extra does absolutely nothing. Amino acids don’t do anything on their own individually, they all form together to build protein, which can obviously be consumed through food. So any money you would spend on amino acids you should just use to buy a couple of ribeyes instead.
 
I'd try it were it not for the side effects of losing your hair, dadbodism, and chronic head tilts.

I have looked at it, and it’s also incredibly expensive—it’s like 80 a month. I have tried some of the cheaper options, and they seem to give at least some energy boost because of the B vitamins, but maybe that’s the placebo effect.
 
I laugh every time someone comes to the pharmacy because they want this "specific multivitamin" because it is sooooo much better than all the other MVIs. Waste your money if you want lady lol.
What kind of multivitamin (if any) would you recommend?

Anything. If you look at them they all have 95% of the exact same ingredients. I personally take a store brand of centrum, but as long as you are getting something you are covered. There's even studies out there that say that there is little to no benefit of taking multivitamins at all as long as you have a halfway decent diet. I don't know, I usually chalk it up to its not going to hurt anything, and they are cheap so I take them.
