The Supplement Scam: Why AG1, Four Sigmatic, and “Premium” Brands Are Robbing You Blind You’re being played. When you see a $100 AG1 price tag, even a "cheap" $20 Four Sigmatic coffee, or a $90 micro-serving tub from Perfect Amino, you’re told it’s about “quality” and “some other stuff.” It isn’t.

Amino Strategy • Performance • Recovery Updated September 24, 2025 Choosing the best essential amino acid (EAA) format for training, recovery, and compliance is hard.

Solution: Use a clean EAA powder for most workouts and recovery windows; lean on minimal-tablet strategies only where powder is impractical. FundAminos (plant-based EAA powder) is formulated for fast mixability, cleaner labels, and...
