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  Athletic Greens 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!!
