AG1 is tested for those who test themselves

AG1 is tested according to strict quality standards. Our formula is regularly checked for contaminants and impurities to ensure product safety and consistency.

Third-party certifications

AG1 is certified by both the Cologne List® and Informed Choice – two of the world’s most respected independent programmes for dietary supplement testing.

These certifications confirm that AG1 is regularly screened for more than 250 banned substances, including stimulants, narcotics, diuretics and masking agents – helping ensure it’s safe for both athletes and everyday users.

But it goes beyond banned substance testing. The Informed Choice quality seal also means AG1 is manufactured in facilities that meet strict international quality and safety standards, with robust systems in place to prevent contamination and ensure consistency – batch after batch.

Certificate of analysis

With our strict specifications and extensive testing range, AG1’s quality testing exceeds industry standards.

Every batch is rigorously tested for microbiological purity, stricter than statutory heavy metal limits, allergens and other contaminants. In addition, AG1 is annually tested for an even wider range of contaminants like over 500 pesticides, herbicides and other harmful substances.

The Certificate of Analysis (COA) is a document that contains a summary report of all independent testing done on AG1 by third-party ISO-certified labs. The CoA indicates whether the tests passed the legally established safety limits, or the sometimes even stricter limits set by AG1. The actual measured values can be well below.

Heavy metals

Anything that comes from the ground, including fruits, vegetables, and even drinking water, has the potential to naturally contain some heavy metals.

To ensure safety, AG1 is regularly tested for heavy metal levels in accordance with the limits set by the European Commission in EU Regulation 2023/915.

THIS INCLUDES:
  • Lead

  • Mercury

  • Cadmium

  • Arsenic

Allergens

We do not formulate with wheat, dairy, egg, or peanut-containing ingredients. Plus, our manufacturing facilities adhere to strict allergen and validated cleaning protocols, to reduce chances of cross-contamination.

WE TEST FOR COMMON ALLERGENS:
  • Gluten (Wheat, Rye, Barley) (<20ppm)

  • Milk

  • Egg

  • Peanut

Pesticides & herbicides

Chemicals used in agriculture can disrupt the gut and immune system, decreasing or even blocking nutrient absorption.

We select our suppliers based on strict internal standards. In addition, we regularly carry out independent testing for pesticides and herbicides – to ensure our requirements are met and that the limits defined by the European Commission in EU Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 are observed.

TESTS INCLUDE:
  • Glyphosate: an herbicide and commonly used weed killer in conventional farming

  • AMPA: a byproduct of glyphosate

Microbes & toxins

Microbial testing is crucial for ensuring AG1 is safe to drink on a long-term daily basis.

WE RULE OUT:
  • Harmful bacteria, including Salmonella, E. coli, and Staphylococcus.

  • Molds and yeasts that have been linked to immune disruption.

  • Microbes that can produce toxic substances like mycotoxins and aflatoxins.

Banned substances

Professional and Olympic athletes have trusted AG1 for over a decade. To reduce the risk of contamination or adulteration, AG1 is independently tested for 250 banned substances as part of both the Cologne List® and Informed Choice certification programmes.

These programmes focus on substance classes most commonly associated with contamination in supplements, including:

WHAT IS TESTED?
  • Anabolic agents

  • Stimulants

  • Beta-2 agonists

  • Diuretics and masking agents

  • Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs)

  • Hormone and metabolic modulators

  • Cannabinoids

  • Narcotics

Residual solvents

Residual solvents are volatile chemicals that can result from processing procedures such as extraction of plant parts and purification of ingredients. While testing for residual solvents was initially developed for pharmaceuticals, as part of our quality, AG1 is tested for all 3 classes of solvents, including acetone and ethanol.

Nutritional testing

AG1 tests for nutritional content to ensure that the amounts stated on the label are what you get in the product. Nutritional testing is vital to ensuring the efficacy of the formula, and that you receive what you are paying for.

Sensory experience

Taste is an obsession of ours. Every batch of AG1 undergoes a systematic evaluation of sensory characteristics like aroma, taste, mouthfeel, and aftertaste. We conduct a science-based sensory testing program with a third-party to ensure the consistency of the AG1 flavour.

The best part? The flavour of AG1 comes entirely from natural ingredients – with no artificial flavours or sweeteners.

AG1 DOES NOT INCLUDE:
  • Artificial sweeteners

  • Added sugar

  • Erythritol

  • Monk fruit

  • MSG

FAQs

Where do heavy metals come from?

Heavy metals can occur naturally in many whole foods. Anything that comes from the ground, including fruits, vegetables, and even drinking water, has the potential to contain some heavy metals and amounts can vary based on the soil content and geographical location of the source material. Our raw materials and every batch of AG1 is rigorously tested to ensure there are no unsafe levels of contaminants, including lead and other heavy metals, and that we always comply with legal limits . With this process we constantly ensure the consistently high quality of AG1's ingredients.

↡ Survey of 527 AG1 customers after 12+ days of use, 2024. The survey was conducted on a previous version of AG1’s continually evolving formulation. The survey results can be transferred to the current version of the formula due to no or scientifically negligible changes in supporting nutrients. Vitamins C, B6, B12, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, and folate help reduce tiredness and fatigue. Pantothenic acid supports mental performance. Calcium supports normal digestive enzyme function, while biotin maintains normal mucous membranes, such as the gut lining.

◊ Comparison (2025) with individual supplements in comparable amounts that are typically sold at retail: vitamin B complex, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, bacterial cultures, zinc, magnesium, calcium, selenium, chromium, manganese, molybdenum, coenzyme Q10, greens powders (from sea algae such as spirulina, barley leaf, wheatgrass, dandelion, spinach powder, etc.), mushroom supplements (reishi, shiitake).

‡ Survey of 144 verified customers from 12 European countries who have been taking AG1 for an average of 9 days.

Research Studies
a. In a triple-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled parallel-designed clinical trial evaluating nutrient biomarkers and microbiome shifts in 105 healthy adults ages 20-59 over the course of 12 weeks.
b. In a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled 2-week cross-over clinical trial assessing microbiome shifts in 20 active adults ages 19-37.
c. In a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled 2-week cross-over clinical trial assessing microbiome shifts of 24 healthy adults with occasional GI distress ages 26-59.
d. In a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled cross-over clinical trial assessing bioavailability in 16 healthy adults ages 18-42 over the course of 8 hours.
The studies were conducted on a similar version of AG1's continually evolving formulation. The transferability of the study results is ensured because of comparable ingredients and amounts.
