Meet AGZ: The nightly drink for winding down and resting up

Understanding how our latest innovation optimizes sleep

4 MIN READ — 08/19/2025

Quality sleep is critical for physical, mental, and emotional health, and yet it seems harder and harder to attain these days—studies show that about one in three U.S. adults does not sleep the recommended 7–9 hours nightly. Sleep promotes everything from physical recovery to mood balance, ensuring our bodies and minds can take on the day ahead and beyond. It’s a foundational pillar in our lives, and one that should never be (but is often) overlooked. So, after 15 years focused on a singular product that shows up for you in the morning, we’ve expanded our offering to address the essential foundational need: sleep. Welcome to winding down and resting up with AGZ.

What Is AGZ?

AGZ is the nightly drink to help you wind down and rest up. It’s designed to work in harmony with the body’s natural sleep cycle, helping to promote rest quality and relaxation through a blend of clinically studied adaptogens, calming herbs, and high-quality minerals like Magtein® magnesium L-threonate, a clinically tested form of magnesium that has been shown to improve sleep quality and support cognitive function.* As with AG1, we’ve prioritized bioavailability. This means that AGZ is created with ingredients that are optimized for better absorption in forms that your body can use. The result is an easy-to-incorporate, melatonin-free evening ritual that won’t leave you groggy in the a.m.

Will I Feel the Effects of AGZ Immediately or Do I Need To Build Up to the Benefits?

AGZ is designed to help you feel relaxed within the first night of use. Calming herbs and ingredients like L-theanine work to help reduce stress and promote relaxation, preparing the mind and body for a restful sleep.

  • After one month of consistently drinking AGZ, you may notice improved sleep quality and feel more refreshed in the morning.
  • By two months, your body may be better equipped to manage stress and support balanced cortisol levels.
  • Over time, establishing a regular wind-down routine with consistent sleep hygiene practices can help improve the overall quality of sleep.

What Does AGZ Taste Like?

We want to ensure that your AGZ experience is both comforting and delicious, so the formula comes in three different flavors**: Chocolate (tastes like cocoa with coconut milk), Chocolate Mint (tastes like cocoa and garden mint), and Mixed Berry (Tastes like ripe berries balanced with subtle herbal notes). And, because we know that tastes and preferences differ, we’re giving you options: AGZ can be combined with four ounces of either water or milk of choice and served cold, room temperature, or warm. After you mix in the packet, you’ll use your AGZ Frother and blend well for a smooth, fully dissolved drink.

How Does AGZ Work?

Sleep isn’t just about hitting the pillow and waking up the next morning. There are many different phases of rest. AGZ works in three phases:

The Evening Wind Down
As you prepare for bedtime, you’ll drink AGZ, cueing your mind and body to start winding down. Aminos and adaptogens like L-theanine and ashwagandha help you relax and prepare for rest.* These ingredients help to manage cortisol levels, helping the nervous system unwind and supporting the mind in managing daily stress.

Sleep
AGZ optimizes your sleep quality while the lights are out with restorative nutrients like Magtein® magnesium L-threonate and valerian, a well-researched herbal ingredient with clinical evidence supporting its ability to promote relaxation.*

The formula supports natural melatonin production and promotes the activity of GABA—a brain chemical associated with restfulness.

Waking
AGZ helps you rise refreshed and ready to begin the day, thanks to ingredients like saffron (sometimes known as the sunshine spice), which is known for its antioxidant properties and has been clinically shown to enhance sleep quality and support a healthy mood.*

New Product, Same Obsessive Commitment to Quality and Safety

Whether it’s AG1 or AGZ, our rigorous commitment to product quality and safety remains the same. AGZ is NSF Certified for Sport®, the gold standard in independent quality and safety certifications. It’s a third-party program that certifies dietary supplements are free from over 280 banned substances including stimulants, narcotics, diuretics, and masking agents.

AGZ also contains no added sugar or binders, making for an easy-to-digest option that you can feel great about.

AG1 and AGZ

Together, AG1 daily greens powder and AGZ help create a balanced cycle of energy and restoration, supporting whole body health around the clock. Get ready for relaxing evenings, impactful rest, and empowered wake-ups.
