Nutritional needs & balance

Navigating the world of individual supplements can be a juggling act, especially when you’re managing doctor visits, gym membership, meal planning and a host of other priorities related to your overall health. When walking the vitamin aisle at any health food store, you can easily stumble into decision fatigue — weighing the nutritional benefits, cost, and convenience of all the available options. You may find a few to get you started, but have you covered your nutritional bases? How much did you spend? Is the quality there?

These are all questions that come to mind, and maybe the answer lies in taking an innovative path towards getting what you need. You could significantly change the way you’ve been getting your daily nutritional needs met with a comprehensive supplement that bridges quality and convenience.

Supplements should support a strong foundation

Many supplement products are made to target specific benefits, not address the underlying needs of the body. It can be difficult and time consuming to find products that provide you with what you really need, resulting in unnecessary products and waste. A great first step in discovering what may be best for you is prioritizing the foundation of your wellbeing. Recognizing the need for foundational nutrients that nourish the systems within your body can be the starting point in your journey. When selecting supplements, consider how comprehensive they are in supplying the nutrients needed to support your baseline health.

All bodies have the same foundation that requires support. We need daily nutrient replenishment, optimal digestion, stress management, and a well-functioning immune system for the body to work cooperatively as a unit. Nutritional needs are unique and can vary from person to person, but it’s important to acknowledge that all bodies need foundational nutrients. Foundational nutrition is science-driven with a body-first approach to supplementation that places emphasis on supplying comprehensive nutrition to support whole body health. It’s an alternative to single supplements that are created to address individual benefits and do little in providing adequate nutrition benefits that meet your body at its baseline.

Reduce supplement overload

Many of us opt for single function supplement use, and often find ourselves ticking boxes to address a variety of needs and goals — in many cases, it results in tons of supplements lining our cabinets and a never-ending game of mixing and matching to achieve our daily health goals.

It may appear to be a great way to establish a fix-for-all strategy, but stacking supplements this way isn’t always sustainable and can be confusing, expensive, and wasteful. It’s about building a stronger foundation versus a short-term fix. Many important factors are overlooked when we choose to supplement stack. When combining supplements, we have to account for interactions and safe consumption, absorption, research, production, and quality — all of which are not easy to decipher and put into practice. There’s also costs to weigh, but we’ll get to that later.

As mentioned before, person-to-person nutritional needs can vary, but at the core, whole body support at the base is universal. To provide a more helpful breakdown, let’s go back to prioritizing your wellbeing. What does prioritizing your wellbeing mean in the context of supplement stacking and what makes Foundational Nutrition different from it? AG1 is a Foundational Nutrition Supplement that begins with science-driven and expert-led research and is formulated to ensure nutrient synergy for effectiveness.* AG1’s comprehensive blend of nutrients work together to support the brain, gut, and immune systems — providing a much simpler way to get what you need at the foundation.

Comprehensive nutrients can elevate your health

AG1 is designed with nutrient synergy for maximum impact in the body. Synergy refers to how multiple nutrients interact in the body, where the combined effect of these nutrients is greater than the sum of their individual effects. AG1 integrates a variety of nutrients by pairing them to allow them to work cohesively, never isolating them or using them in forms that are hard for the body to access.

Nutrient synergy ultimately supports every facet of you. Nutrients work together in intricate ways to support optimal health and function. Every vitamin, mineral, probiotic, and phytonutrient in AG1 is not only chosen for its specific effect on a system in your body, but also how it amplifies the benefits of other nutrients in the formula. These ingredient pairings mimic how nutrients are found in nature — to more effectively elevate your baseline health.

When deciding what to spend on supplements, it can be easy to assume that more is more — more supplements mean more benefits. With this approach it could appear like you’re cutting costs, avoiding unwanted ingredients, and that there’s a level of product tailoring involved, but realistically, streamlining your supplements may prove to be better.

Multivitamins alone provide a combination of essential vitamins and minerals to support our bodies each day, but are they addressing poor nutrient absorption? A more comprehensive approach would be to add prebiotics and probiotics to strengthen the gut barrier for better absorption. AG1 is formulated to support the systems that contribute to your overall health — in doing so, you gain individual benefits as well as overall effectiveness for better focus and energy, enhanced digestion, microbiome diversity in the gut, immune support, and a boosting of stress resiliency and mood balance among other benefits.

If you’re able to spend a hundred dollars or more on supplements, would you focus your spending on a variety of areas that you want to improve, or would you want to elevate your health overall? Targeted supplements only tackle their target. It takes science, research, and intentional sourcing to create the right balance of nutrients that help to reduce the risk of imbalances.

“Focus on buffering and enhancing foundational nutrition with adaptogens, probiotics, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes. It raises the tide on the biological and organ systems, leading to enhanced mental health, physical health, and performance, including sleep.” - Huberman

One scoop. Every morning. For life.

Why ingredient quality matters

As counterintuitive as it may feel to swap your slew of supplements, starting at the foundation and identifying what you need to support your body at the baseline is what makes a difference. Nutrients are only as useful as they are available and with AG1 two words rest at the core: Bioavailability optimization. The ingredients in AG1 are carefully considered and selected for maximum bioavailability. Each vitamin and mineral is sourced for optimal absorption, digestion, and processing within the body to have the greatest effect.

Grape seeds
AG1 delivers a powerful concentration of antioxidants extracted from grape seeds, which would otherwise be too indigestible to deliver benefits.*

Which supplements you consume and the manner in which you consume them matter just as much as the ingredients and formulation. The nutritional content of AG1’s seventy-five ingredients are comprehensive and high-quality which is why a single scoop delivers more than just greens. There’s a diverse and colorful range of phytonutrients from superfoods, antioxidants — all selected at their peak harvest to offer more nutrient density than you can get from just greens.

The folate in AG1 is an activated form that’s quickly utilized by the body to promote a healthy nervous and immune system.*

The added value is that instead of taking six to eight supplements, AG1 covers your bases with multivitamins, multiminerals, prebiotics, probiotics, daily immune support, stress adaptogens, energy boosters, green/superfood blends, mushroom complex, and digestive aids — in the right concentrations and ratios.

The investments you make towards elevating your health at the foundation grow over time — and they start with daily habits. It is possible to narrow your supplements down to one without compromise and simplify the path to your health goals. With AG1, folded into your daily routine, you reap comprehensive support for your gut, brain, and immune health with Foundational Nutrition, making your efforts toward whole body health an easier journey.
