Today, we’re proud to announce a partnership with UC Davis, one of the world’s leading research universities at the intersection of nutrition, health, and innovation, and widely recognized for advancing the “food as medicine” movement. In partnership with UC Davis and its Innovation Institute for Food and Health (IIFH), AG1 will explore new frontiers at the intersection of nutrition and metabolic health to pave the way for innovation in Precision Health and Nutrition. This approach integrates life sciences and data science to match nutrients from ingredients with the specific nutrition needs of targeted populations seeking to optimize their health and performance.
“UC Davis is world-renowned for its highly collaborative approach to driving breakthroughs in nutrition science,” said Kat Cole, CEO at AG1. “They are an important and valued strategic innovation partner for AG1 as we develop new products to help more people optimize their metabolic health and achieve their physical and mental performance potential.”
This partnership builds on AG1’s extensive body of nutrition research, including recently concluded AG1 Next Gen clinical trials, and expands on the company’s continued investment in discovery research and thought leadership through collaborations with top institutions and accredited universities in the U.S., including Hofstra University, Kent State University, Texas Tech University, and University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
“AG1 is a pioneer in the category of nutrition as they embrace complexities in 21st century nutrition innovation through a science-led approach,” said Dr. Justin Siegel, Faculty Director of the IIFH and Professor of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine at UC Davis. “AG1 is an outstanding partner as we pursue breakthroughs at the intersection of nutrition and metabolic health that leverage world-class capabilities, such as the Periodic Table of Food Initiative we developed with the Rockefeller Foundation and the American Heart Association.”
AG1 products are designed by an in-house team of scientists, researchers, and nutritionists, and are continuously updated to reflect the latest scientific research to help meet people’s unique health goals. Driven by a core value of continuous improvement, AG1 is committed to raising the standard for quality, efficacy, and third-party testing.
