How AG1 is Different from a Greens Powder
The key differences between AG1 and greens powders when it comes to ingredients, benefits, and more
AG1 vs. Greens Powders
If you’re trying to understand how AG1 can be part of your daily routine, you may be wondering what differentiates it from greens powders on the market. The color (green) and consistency (powder) might suggest they’re similar, but there are many crucial differences between our unique blend of 75 ingredients and the myriad other options.
Let’s dive into the specifics:
What are Greens Powders?
Greens powders are dietary supplement powders usually made from ingredients like leafy greens, grasses, and antioxidant-rich fruits—all dried and ground into a fine powder. Because of these ingredients, many report that greens powders aren’t palatable with water alone and need to be mixed into smoothies.
Benefits of Greens Powders
The nutrients and plant compounds in greens powders may support overall wellness but, since they are made from a select number of fruits and vegetables, they often lack the vitamins and minerals found in a comprehensive multivitamin. Additionally, naturally occurring vitamins and minerals can vary by crop and are often impacted by processing, resulting in products with potentially inconsistent nutritional backgrounds.
What is AG1?
Is it green? Yes. Is it a powder? Yes. But it’s so much more. AG1 is a research-backed Daily Health Drink that combines a multivitamin, probiotic, and blend of superfoods into a convenient daily routine. Our driving belief is that high-quality ingredients combined with digestive support can improve the body’s ability to utilize essential nutrients.
Benefits of AG1
Replacement Value
One daily serving of AG1 eliminates the need for other supplements such as a multivitamin, probiotics, greens and superfood powders, vitamin B complex, and vitamin C tablets.
Gut Support
Each serving of AG1 delivers a blend of probiotics for healthy bacteria to the gut along with prebiotics that serve as nutrition for probiotics—allowing them to grow in beneficial numbers and better support metabolism.
Nutrient Gaps
If you’re wondering why you might need a supplement if you have a healthy diet—we hear you! And we agree that a balanced diet of nutritious food is crucial for overall health. But even with the perfect diet, it’s become increasingly difficult to get the foundational nutrients the body needs on a daily basis—especially with the business of modern life.
Nutritional Gaps can arise due to various factors including:
- Dietary choices (nutrient-dense foods offer more nutrient value)
- Food growing, harvesting, and processing methods
- Changes in soil quality impacting nutrient density of foods
AG1 is designed to help provide the nutrients that are hard to get through a normal diet, in bioavailable forms that your body can actually use.
Backed by Research
Thousands of peer-reviewed studies were analyzed by AG1’s in-house research team as part of the formulation process. While many supplements stop there, we took it a few steps further with a pilot set of research studies on the full AG1 formula, including a randomized, placebo controlled clinical trial. That way, we could further examine the effects of AG1 on the body.
Rigorously Tested
We rigorously test AG1 for over 500 pesticides and herbicides and more than 75 additional contaminants and toxins, including heavy metals. Through NSF Certified for Sport®, the gold standard for independent quality and safety testing, our formula is tested for over 280 banned substances, including stimulants, narcotics, diuretics, and masking agents.
So, if you’re navigating the greens powder market, here’s your takeaway: AG1 is more than just a high quality multivitamin (although it is indeed that). It provides nutrients and gut health support for the needs driven by today’s diet and today’s lifestyle.
