AG1 Announces Partnership with UC Davis to Advance Precision Health and Nutrition

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.
