Our verdict
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.
Best for
- Tested athletes who need NSF Certified for Sport products
- People who want a multivitamin, probiotic and greens in one scoop
- Buyers who value convenience over cost
Skip it if
- Budget-conscious shoppers
- Anyone who wants disclosed doses for every botanical
- People with soy allergy (label states it contains soy)

Our review
AG1 Next Gen is the 2025 reformulation of the powder originally sold as Athletic Greens. One 13 g scoop stirred into water delivers a full vitamin-and-mineral panel, a dairy-free probiotic blend of five named strains (L. rhamnosus GG, L. acidophilus NCFM, B. lactis HN019, L. casei LC-11 and L. plantarum LP-115) at 10 billion viable cells, 2 g of fiber, and two plant blends totaling 9 g.
The vitamin side of the label is well built: folate as 5-MTHF, B12 as methylcobalamin, B6 as P5P, 500 mg of vitamin C and 20 mg of zinc. Some amounts are far above need (B12 at 16,667% DV, biotin at 1,100% DV), while magnesium (30 mg) and calcium (120 mg) are token doses. The Active Superfood and Prebiotic Complex (7.5 g) and Daily Phytonutrient Complex (1.5 g) name roughly 40 botanicals, including spirulina, chlorella, ashwagandha and rhodiola, without individual amounts, so we cannot confirm any of them reaches a studied dose.
AG1 publicized four small randomized, placebo-controlled trials with the launch (16 to 105 participants, lasting 8 hours to 12 weeks) reporting better nutrient status and gut-bacteria shifts. That supports AG1 as a multivitamin-plus-probiotic; it does not show it can stand in for vegetables.
Quality is the strongest argument: the formula is NSF Certified for Sport, with certified lots listed on nsfsport.com. The weak point is value: at $99.99 for 30 servings (about $3.33 a scoop), it costs two to three times more than most greens powders. Buyer reviews praise the convenience and energy, while taste reactions are split between a pleasant pineapple-vanilla note and a grassy finish.

Pros & cons
What we like
- NSF Certified for Sport, with certified lots listed publicly
- Five named, well-researched probiotic strains at 10 billion viable cells
- Bioavailable vitamin forms (5-MTHF folate, methylcobalamin, P5P)
- Company-published placebo-controlled trials on the current formula
- Available in Original, Citrus, Berry and Tropical flavors
Watch-outs
- About $3.33 per serving at $99.99 per 30-serving pouch
- Two proprietary blends (9 g combined) hide individual botanical doses
- Some vitamins far exceed needs (B12 16,667% DV, biotin 1,100% DV) while magnesium and calcium are minimal
- Taste is divisive in buyer reviews, and some report digestive upset when starting
Questions buyers ask
What changed in AG1 Next Gen compared with the original formula?
The Classic formula listed a 12 g serving with 7.2 billion CFU from two probiotic strains. Next Gen uses a 13 g serving, five named strains at 10 billion viable cells, methylated B vitamins (5-MTHF, methylcobalamin, P5P) and added nutrients such as molybdenum, choline and boron. It remains NSF Certified for Sport, and certified Next Gen lots are listed on nsfsport.com.
Can AG1 replace eating vegetables?
No. The two plant blends total 9 g of dried powders and extracts, far less than a few servings of whole vegetables, and a scoop supplies only 2 g of fiber. AG1's published trials measured nutrient status and gut bacteria, not outcomes of replacing produce. Treat it as a multivitamin-plus-probiotic that complements a vegetable-rich diet.
Who should check with a clinician before taking AG1?
The label lists soy, so people with soy allergy should avoid it. The formula contains vitamin K2 (90 mcg), relevant for anyone on warfarin, plus ashwagandha, rhodiola and licorice root in undisclosed amounts. Very high biotin can skew some lab tests, and the brand labels AG1 for adults, so pregnant or nursing users should get medical advice first.
