What is AG1 Next Gen?<\/p>\n

AG1 Next Gen (aka Athletic Greens) is a powdered drink mix that combines greens, vitamins and minerals, probiotics, prebiotics, and botanical ingredients into a single scoop intended to help close common nutrient gaps, support your gut health, and improve energy and immunity. It\u2019s an upgraded version of the original Athletic Greens formula, with an expanded vitamin and mineral profile, probiotic strains, and taste tweaks aimed at making the drink slightly sweeter and more approachable without adding sugar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You use AG1 Next Gen by mixing one measured scoop of powder with cold water\u2014typically around 8 ounces\u2014then shaking or stirring and drinking once per day, often in the morning. The product is sold in bulk pouches that usually need refrigeration after opening, as well as single-serve travel packs designed for easier use on the road or in the office. It\u2019s best to take it consistently, ideally on an empty stomach or away from large meals and as a part of your daily routine rather than an occasional add\u2011on.<\/p>\n

Our Experience With AG1 Next Gen<\/p>\n

Kayla and Gwen tested AG1 Next Gen hands-on, using it consistently for several weeks. They considered the product\u2019s convenience, digestibility, and any changes in energy or overall routine adherence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Ag1<\/p>\n

Kayla\u2019s first impressions of Athletic Greens were quite positive. \u201cThe packaging feels pretty standard, however, the branding is well thought out, which immediately gives the sense that it\u2019s a high-quality product,\u201d she said. \u201cThe ingredient profile is impressive with a focus on covering a broad range of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and adaptogens in one formula.\u201d<\/p>\n

What We Liked\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instructions and ease of use<\/strong><\/p>\n

The instructions for AG1 are straightforward and easy to follow, according to Kayla. \u201cThe directions state mixing one scoop with 8\u201310 ounces of cold water,\u201d she said. \u201cThe text is clearly printed and easy to spot on the packaging. The font size is large enough to read without straining, and the layout is easy to read.\u201d She rated AG1 Next Gen a 5 out of 5 for ease of following instructions.<\/p>\n

Using a shaker bottle, Kayla mixed one scoop of AG1 with about 10 ounces of cold water and shook for 60 seconds. \u201cThis product by far has the best solubility out of all the greens powders I have tried.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In her own experience, Gwen has tried both the AG1 original formula and the Next Gen version. \u201cThe solubility has definitely improved with this product,\u201d she said, rating it a 5 out of 5. \u201cThe old powder used to settle a bit but now it completely dissolves. I\u2019m glad they made an effort to improve this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flavor updates<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kayla found the taste to be lighter than the old formula, too. \u201cBefore it was very earthy tasting and the smell was almost bitter and too overwhelming. Now I can smell the pineapple,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are now subtle hints of sweetness of vanilla that help soften the greens flavor,\u201d Kayla noted, adding that it didn\u2019t taste overly sweet, despite a little lingering stevia flavor. \u201cThere\u2019s no strong bitterness and the drink is well balanced,\u201d she said. Kayla found the mouthfeel to be smooth and light, and the texture is closer to a light juice than a thick smoothie, making it easy to drink quickly. She rated the taste a 5 out of 5.<\/p>\n

Formula details<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gwen loves that AG1 Next Gen clearly displays how much you\u2019re getting of each vitamin and nutrient in the product. While the product does contain some proprietary blends, it\u2019s transparent about the most crucial vitamins and nutrients.<\/p>\n

\u201cPersonally, I love that this formula includes biotin because it minimizes my need to take this supplement separately,\u201d Gwen added, rating the formulation a 4 out of 5 (this tester is also a NASM Certified Nutrition Coach). \u201cYou get at least 100% of your daily recommended value of many key vitamins, which is awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"AG1<\/p>\n

What We Would Change<\/p>\n

Minor taste and texture issues<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kayla noted that the new formula has a slightly metallic taste, though she still likes the new formula compared to the original. Additionally, she thought the product mixed pretty easily, but she did notice a grainy quality to the drink. \u201cIf I mixed it longer (or shook the bottle more), the formula did create quite a bit of foam,\u201d she said. \u201cIt settled down quickly, though. The mixability was average.\u201d<\/p>\n

Including vitamin D<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you may notice, AG1 Next Gen does not include vitamin D, but there\u2019s a reason for that, according to Gwen. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means it\u2019s best absorbed with a dietary fat or oil.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLike protein powder<\/a>, for instance, I imagine a lot of people drink this before breakfast, so it doesn\u2019t make sense to include vitamin D in the formulation,\u201d she explained. That said, AG1 does separately sell a vitamin D3+K2 solution. \u201cIn an ideal world, this solution would come with the powder, but I do understand they\u2019re a business and that may not be feasible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frequently asked questions<\/p>\n

Do people lose weight with AG1?<\/strong><\/p>\n

AG1 by itself does not cause weight loss, because greens powders do not change the basic need for a calorie deficit to lose body fat. It is low in calories and can fit into a healthy routine, so it may indirectly support weight management when paired with a balanced diet, movement, sleep, and stress management.\n<\/p>\n

Are there any side effects from AG1?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clinical data<\/a> so far suggest AG1 is generally safe for healthy adults, with no major safety concerns over several weeks of daily use. However, some people report digestive symptoms like nausea, bloating, diarrhea, or stomach upset, especially when first starting or when combined with other supplements, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, or on medications, we recommend that you talk with your doctor before using it.\n<\/p>\n

Does AG1 replace a multivitamin?<\/strong><\/p>\n

AG1 is marketed as a daily health drink that can replace a multivitamin, probiotic, and several other supplements by helping to close common nutrient gaps. That said, AG1 is not a substitute for a balanced diet<\/a> or individualized medical advice about supplements.\n<\/p>\n
