The short answer

Frequently asked questions
Is AG1 worth the money?
It can be if you value having vitamins, minerals, probiotics and plant ingredients in a single scoop. If you already take a multivitamin and eat plenty of vegetables, the extra benefit is likely smaller, and a cheaper greens powder like Amazing Grass may be enough.
Do greens powders actually do anything?
They can help fill nutrient gaps for people who don't eat many vegetables. Research on greens powders as a category is limited, and they don't replace whole vegetables, which provide much more fiber.
When is the best time to take greens powder?
Many people take it in the morning because it's easy to remember. If it upsets your stomach, take it with food. AG1 is designed to be taken in water each morning, while Amazing Grass also works in smoothies.
