Our verdicts
Next Gen Daily Foundational Nutrition
AG1 Next Gen is the best-tested and most thoroughly studied greens powder we track, and its probiotic and vitamin forms are genuinely good. But much of the formula sits inside proprietary blends, and at over $3 per scoop you are paying a large premium for convenience. Buy it if NSF certification and a one-scoop routine matter more to you than cost; otherwise a basic multivitamin plus more produce covers most of the same ground.

Super Greens
On paper, Live it Up offers more organic greens and a better-documented probiotic than many rivals for less than half the price of AG1. But a Class I Salmonella recall affecting nearly 800,000 units in early 2026 is a serious quality failure for a product people drink daily. Until the brand builds a longer clean track record or earns a named third-party certification, we rank it below similarly priced alternatives.
