Foundational Nutrition Education
Our science-driven approach to supporting whole body health

Call it a paradigm shift
As science evolves, so does our approach to nutrition
For years, nutrition focused solely on macronutrients (carbs, fats, and proteins) and micronutrients, largely ignoring metabolic, gut, stress, and immune issues.
But, emerging research now shows our bodies need more for physical and mental health.
We need a solution that reconsiders the types of nutrients considered foundational and how they work together.
AG1 is leading the Foundational Nutrition movement, providing that solution in one simple, daily, drinkable habit.*
The building blocks of Foundational Nutrition
Nutritional science for whole body health
Foundational Nutrition supplements raise our baseline health by comprehensively nourishing the whole body, from our brain to our gut to our immune system.
Brain & nervous system
Benefits supported* | Concentration & mental performance Balanced mood & stress recovery |
Nutrients | B Vitamins Antioxidants Phospholipids |
Digestive system
It is home to the gut microbiome, an ecosystem of microbes that connects with our body, helping to transform nutrients into compounds we can use.
Benefits supported* | Healthy gut lining Less gas & bloating Regular bowel movements |
Nutrients | Prebiotics Probiotics Digestive enzymes |
Hormone & stress system
We have over 50 types of hormones in our body, each playing a specific role in how we function.
Nutrients play a key role in how we produce and break down hormones.
Benefits supported* | Balanced mood Stress recovery |
Nutrients | Minerals like zinc and selenium Adaptogens B vitamins |
Immune system
It is heavily influenced by our lifestyle and connected to every other system in our body, primarily the gut.
Benefits supported* | Immune defense Healthy immune response |
Nutrients | Zinc Antioxidants like citrus bioflavonoids Vitamin C & E |
Metabolic system
This impacts our nutritional status and informs the rate at which we age, especially in metabolically active areas of the body like our brain, skin, and hair.
Benefits supported* | Healthy aging & longevity Energy & alertness |
Nutrients | Alpha lipoic acid Antioxidants Superfoods like spirulina |
Cardiovascular system
Benefits supported* | Healthy circulation Nutrient replenishment Physical & mental performance |
Nutrients | CoQ10 Vitamin K2 Vitamin E |
FAQs
If I’m taking AG1, do I still need other supplements?
While we have a degree of individuality, all of our bodies are reliant on the same nutrient foundation to nourish the systems that power our health.
AG1 is an easy, drinkable daily supplement that supports brain, gut, and immune health through a science-driven formula of vitamins, minerals, prebiotics, probiotics, stress adaptogens, mushrooms, superfoods, and digestive enzymes.*
Some people still have a need for additional supplements, whether they’re training for a marathon or managing a health condition.
We recommend that you consult with your healthcare professional to determine what’s right for you.
How does AG1 compare to other Foundational Nutrition supplements?
Before AG1 made Foundational Nutrition powerfully simple, managing your daily health meant navigating the opaque and expensive world of individual supplements, educating yourself on the latest research, and committing to complicated combinations of pills to make sure all your needs were met.
Are there any studies on Foundational Nutrition?
There are thousands of peer-reviewed scientific publications on the benefits of the ingredients in AG1 in supporting Foundational Health.
These studies are publicly available through the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
As science continues to better understand our biology, the more we appreciate the interconnectedness of how our bodies function, and the complex role nutrients play in those interactions.
We’ve built an in-house team of doctors, scientists, and researchers, alongside a Scientific and Medical Advisory Council, to make sure we’re keeping up with the latest scientific findings and keeping AG1 on the cutting edge of health research.
