You've Probably Heard of AG1. Here Are 5 Things You May Not Know.

Chances are you’ve heard of AG1 before. It is the OG greens powder that essentially started the whole drink-your-greens movement 16 years ago. And while the brand has been around for years, has 60,000+ five-star reviews, and is trusted by athletes and leading scientists like Dr. Andrew Huberman, Allyson Felix, and Hugh Jackman, I had somehow never tried it. 

I recently changed that, and the Next Gen formula blew me away. I didn’t realize these 5 things about it – and they’re the reason it’s now a permanent part of my morning routine.

1. It’s More Than Just Greens

Most people think of AG1 as a greens powder. I did, too. It's actually an all-in-one daily health drink with more than 75 ingredients, including foundational vitamins and minerals, adaptogens, probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, antioxidants, superfoods, and functional mushrooms. It was designed to replace an ever-growing supplement stack with one daily scoop that helps fill nutritional gaps, support gut health, support energy, and support immune health.

2. It’s Been Clinically Studied

AG1’s formula boasts 4 gold-standard clinical trials on the finished formula – not just individual ingredients. A 2025 randomized, triple-blind study of 120 healthy adults found that AG1 Next Gen improved key nutrient biomarkers among healthy participants whose fruit and vegetable intake reflected that of the average US adult.

3. The Formula Has Been Upgraded

Last year, the brand introduced its Next Gen formula, which includes an upgrade to five probiotic strains, added nutrients like choline and molybdenum, and an increased serving size to provide more functional amounts of key ingredients. Even after 16 years, the formula continues to evolve alongside research and feedback.

4. It Meets One of the Highest Testing Standards in Supplements

AG1 is NSF Certified for Sport – one of the industry's most rigorous certifications – which means every batch is screened for more than 280 banned substances. It also verifies that what's on the label is actually what's in the powder. AG1 is also tested for over 500 pesticides and herbicides.

5. It’s Surprisingly Easy to Drink

The dietitians I’ve spoken to say the same thing time and again: it doesn’t matter what’s inside a wellness product if you can’t commit to taking it. Greens powders are notoriously an ‘acquired taste,’ but AG1 actually tastes great. The Next Gen formula is lightly sweet with subtle pineapple and vanilla notes – something I can commit to. And, for the first time, it’s available in Citrus and Berry flavors, too.

A wellness editor’s verdict: AG1 is genuinely worth 16 years of hype.
