IS AG1 worth it? By Drew Griffiths (Bsc, Msc)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would just buy some organic spirulina, some organic mushroom powder including lions mane and turkey tial mushrooms, and perhaps some psyllium husk and mix that up and save yourself a small fortune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thoughts of fellow Loughborough University graduate and S & C <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>“Never used. Don\u2019t think it\u2019s required. Definitely not cost effective. They\u2019ve been smart with their marketing – huge list of micronutrients on the left, but if you compare that to say, liver (which I haven\u2019t), but infinitely cheaper and would give a similar list.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">^This guy has become a sell out and doesn’t want to give his name to this quote anymore in case AG1 might want to give him “mad coin bruv”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sports nutrition coach Dr Helen Morris is clear: greens powders can help at the margins, but they are not magic. <strong>She sees most of the meaningful effects coming from spirulina and chlorella<\/strong>, rather than the long tail of extras. AG1, she notes, leans on small amounts of many compounds. Where larger single-ingredient doses tend to have stronger, better-documented benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spirulina appears to support antioxidant defences and general cellular protection. Chlorella may help with blood lipid balance, while prebiotic fibres in formulas like AG1 feed gut bacteria. Mushroom extracts are often included for potential immune support. B vitamins are there to back normal energy metabolism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In practice, spirulina and chlorella probably account for most of AG1\u2019s measurable impact. <\/strong>Both have been studied for antioxidant and detox-related effects. AG1 only includes fractional doses compared with standalone powders. Buying these ingredients separately usually means much higher doses for a fraction of the cost, with fewer cosmetic add\u2011ons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cheaper options are easy to assemble. A basic stack might include organic spirulina and chlorella powders, a mixed mushroom blend, psyllium husk for fibre. And\/or a simple multivitamin, an electrolyte mix, and a budget greens powder from a bulk supplier if you still want a blend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AG1 has clear strengths and weaknesses. It is convenient, tastes relatively good for a greens product, and comes in travel-friendly sachets. Against that, the monthly price is high, many ingredients sit below doses used in trials. The clinically proven benefits are modest. Simpler powders can deliver stronger amounts of the key nutrients for much less.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAG1 Pros and Cons\n<table> <tr><th>Pros<\/th><th>Cons<\/th><\/tr> <tr><td>Convenient daily

Its bold health claims often run ahead of what the evidence can prove. Independent dietitians note that much of the benefit comes from a few well-known ingredients. These are spirulina, chlorella, prebiotic fibre and B vitamins. However these can be sourced more cheaply and at higher doses from rival powders or simple whole foods. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcgill.ca\/oss\/article\/critical-thinking-health-and-nutrition\/you-probably-dont-need-green-ag1-smoothie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The benefits are modest if you already eat a decent diet. It does not replace vegetables, and it still misses key nutrients like vitamin D, iron and omega\u20113s.<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vively.co.uk\/post\/is-ag1-and-athletic-greens-actually-healthy\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Warning<\/strong>: AG1 is not risk\u2011free.

I would just buy some organic spirulina, some organic mushroom powder including lions mane and turkey tial mushrooms, and perhaps some psyllium husk and mix that up and save yourself a small fortune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thoughts of fellow Loughborough University graduate and S & C <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>“Never used. Don\u2019t think it\u2019s required. Definitely not cost effective. They\u2019ve been smart with their marketing – huge list of micronutrients on the left, but if you compare that to say, liver (which I haven\u2019t), but infinitely cheaper and would give a similar list.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">^This guy has become a sell out and doesn’t want to give his name to this quote anymore in case AG1 might want to give him “mad coin bruv”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sports nutrition coach Dr Helen Morris is clear: greens powders can help at the margins, but they are not magic. <strong>She sees most of the meaningful effects coming from spirulina and chlorella<\/strong>, rather than the long tail of extras. AG1, she notes, leans on small amounts of many compounds. Where larger single-ingredient doses tend to have stronger, better-documented benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spirulina appears to support antioxidant defences and general cellular protection. Chlorella may help with blood lipid balance, while prebiotic fibres in formulas like AG1 feed gut bacteria. Mushroom extracts are often included for potential immune support. B vitamins are there to back normal energy metabolism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In practice, spirulina and chlorella probably account for most of AG1\u2019s measurable impact. <\/strong>Both have been studied for antioxidant and detox-related effects. AG1 only includes fractional doses compared with standalone powders. Buying these ingredients separately usually means much higher doses for a fraction of the cost, with fewer cosmetic add\u2011ons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cheaper options are easy to assemble. A basic stack might include organic spirulina and chlorella powders, a mixed mushroom blend, psyllium husk for fibre. And\/or a simple multivitamin, an electrolyte mix, and a budget greens powder from a bulk supplier if you still want a blend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AG1 has clear strengths and weaknesses. It is convenient, tastes relatively good for a greens product, and comes in travel-friendly sachets. Against that, the monthly price is high, many ingredients sit below doses used in trials. The clinically proven benefits are modest. Simpler powders can deliver stronger amounts of the key nutrients for much less.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAG1 Pros and Cons\n<table> <tr><th>Pros<\/th><th>Cons<\/th><\/tr> <tr><td>Convenient daily

Its bold health claims often run ahead of what the evidence can prove. Independent dietitians note that much of the benefit comes from a few well-known ingredients. These are spirulina, chlorella, prebiotic fibre and B vitamins. However these can be sourced more cheaply and at higher doses from rival powders or simple whole foods. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcgill.ca\/oss\/article\/critical-thinking-health-and-nutrition\/you-probably-dont-need-green-ag1-smoothie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The benefits are modest if you already eat a decent diet. It does not replace vegetables, and it still misses key nutrients like vitamin D, iron and omega\u20113s.<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vively.co.uk\/post\/is-ag1-and-athletic-greens-actually-healthy\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Warning<\/strong>: AG1 is not risk\u2011free. Experts have flagged possible digestive side effects, very high doses of some vitamins. Continuing concerns about heavy metals and rare reports of liver injury in greens powders, including AG1.
