I saw an advert for this
LINKY POO™ https://drinkag1.com/en-uk

It makes similar claims, is it similar to Shilajit?

AG1 is meant to be pretty good, but like ALL of these 'supplements', if you are lacking in what you actually eat, or are eating a poor balance, you may notice some effect. Whether it is sustainable long term is a good question, as these are all pretty poor vfm.

Bear in mind, the ONLY reason for these products existing is to move money from your hand to others, nothing else matters, including health.

Real food provides all of the nutrients the body needs, and avoiding all factory manufactured 'food' type products that all supermarkets are rammed with will do more for a feeling of wellbeing than any supplement.

I agree, you'd think it's ironic that we spend so much time and money seeking out the most nutritious baits before eating pot noodles and shelf life crap ourselves.
Look for your nearest farm shop.

Spot on about eating correctly

I would view them as supplements to ensure you get everything your body needs. I would ditch the Afghan dust though

What you eat and take is EVERYTHING, a bloke once told me years ago in the gym, what you eat is 80% of the game. Feed the machine correctly, good input = good output

I agree with the last few comments, you should get all of your required nutrients etc through a balanced diet.
I've not tried it and probably won't, but Isn't this Shilajit stuff not meant to be a part of your normal diet, but to give you a legal boost above your normal wellbeing?
Maybe it's just a placebo, or maybe it does affect some but not others?
I'm curious but probably not curious enough to try it, for a start which of the numerous supplies would you get it from?

According to who? I've never heard anything about it other than at best being overpriced, and ar worst being a borderline scam.


NEVER trust ANY product that gets advertised by 'influencers' no matter who they are. These companies have laws to stop them lying in adverts, that's why they outsource their advertising to other people, and let them do the lying on their behalf

Drinking water and getting a decent sleep would give most people the boost in energy, concentration and weight loss they need......

By pretty good, I mean at an attempt to supply a broad scope of nutrients, mineral and vitamins, in a package that is easily utilised by who they consider to be their customer base / intended market. Whether this suits even a few percent is another matter, as the balance will be incorrect, we all differ inside, massively. Additionally, I would question whether it is optimal to ingest such an un natural diet. Nature has packaged protein, fat, fibre, etc to perfection, and that doesn't come wrapped in plastic.

As we seem to be on the subject, the 'Zoe' program is the only 'health product' I have ever been confident enough in to take out an active plan, and while it confirmed a majority of my suspicions, it did reveal some really interesting facts, good and not so good, which I have implemented, such as rice being really bad for me, brown and white, so I now avoid it completely. This scientific approach to individual nutrition carries far more credence than any heavily promoted product, especially those aimed at the convenience market like AG, Huel etc.

Absolutely true re influencers..
