Our Quality Standards
We've spent over a decade in pursuit of creating the highest-quality Foundational Nutrition supplement. We think about quality through four considerations. And at each step of the process, we go above and beyond industry standards.

01
Expert-led scientific research
- Led by a team of doctors, scientists, and researchers across different disciplines
To contribute to the emerging body of research on foundational nutrition, and to keep AG1 at the forefront of it, we rely on an in-house team of doctors, scientists, and researchers across different disciplines. In addition, we have formed a Scientific Medical Advisory Council that includes renowned experts in the fields of healthspan and longevity, notably Dr. Andrew Huberman and Dr. Peter Attia. - Published peer-reviewed research
Members of our team contribute to peer-reviewed scientific papers, helping to lead to the scientific discourse on Foundational Nutrition. Additionally, we publish the results of our scientific studies in peer-reviewed journals so others can benefit from our methodology and data. - Responsible innovation
Since 2010, we have improved the AG1 formula 52 times, striving to continuously reflect the highest quality ingredients available and the latest scientific evidence in the formula. The ingredients in AG1 are backed by peer-reviewed scientific literature, and our team has reviewed thousands of studies as part of the formulation and continuous improvement process for AG1. Our commitment to continuous improvement helps us ensure the future of Foundational Nutrition at AG1 is both effective and of the highest quality.

02
High-quality ingredients
- Bioavailable
The more your body can absorb and utilize nutrients, the more impact those nutrients will have. The ingredients in AG1 are selected for how easy they are to absorb, for their potency, and for the presence of hard to get nutrients. For example, the magnesium bisglycinate present in AG1 absorbs at a higher rate than magnesium oxides found in other supplements. - Synergy
AG1 harnesses the power of synergy by combining nutrients that work better together. The result is that you’re getting nutrients that have been intentionally combined to work more effectively for your health, like cocoa bean polyphenols and citrus bioflavonoids, which combine to offer more support for healthy skin than either antioxidant does alone.*

03
Industry-leading manufacturing
We obsess over product compliance, the standards of our manufacturing partners, and sustainable practices.
- Strictest compliance standards for safety.
We go above and beyond industry requirements and proudly manufacture in facilities that are TGA® and NSF certified, ensuring they have some of the strictest regulations in the world. - Committed to making sustainable decisions
We’re Climate Neutral Certified, which means we’ve chosen to be accountable for the greenhouse gas emissions generated in the production, operation, and shipping of AG1, and offset those emissions each year.

04
Rigorous testing
We go above and beyond by testing AG1 for 950 contaminants and banned substances compared to the industry standard of 10.
- Proudly NSF® Certified for Sport
AG1 is NSF-Certified for Sport, one of the most rigorous independent quality and safety certification programs in the supplement industry, and a standard sought by many professional athletes, coaches, and trainers. It validates AG1 is free from over 280 substances banned in professional sports organizations, and ensures that what you get in AG1 is exactly what's on the label. - Relentless heavy metal testing
Anything that comes from the ground, including fruits, vegetables, and even drinking water, has the potential to naturally contain some heavy metals. We test AG1 to ensure the product is free from unsafe levels of heavy metals, including:
Lead
Mercury
Cadmium
Arsenic - Tested for 500 various pesticides and herbicides
Chemicals used in farming can disrupt the gut and immune system, decreasing or blocking nutrient absorption. We test AG1 to ensure the product is free from unsafe levels of 500 pesticides and herbicides, including:
Glyphosate (an herbicide and commonly used weed killer)
AMPA (a byproduct of glyphosate)
FAQs
Does AG1 conduct heavy metal testing?
Yes. We are committed to sourcing the highest quality ingredients from around the world to minimize heavy metal content. Every batch of AG1 undergoes rigorous testing to ensure full compliance with the standards set by NSF International, a third-party certification body. Additionally, AG1 is certified under NSF Certified for Sport®.
Is AG1 organic?
At the moment, AG1 is not certified organic.
Instead of relying solely on organic practices, we choose to go above and beyond and make sure all of our ingredients are non-gmo, while testing for over 500 pesticides and herbicides including glyphosate and its metabolites.
When we formulated AG1, we did so with the goal of creating the most impactful, premium, and safe Foundational Nutrition supplement.
This intent applies to every choice we’ve made, including whether or not to source an organic ingredient.
What is bioavailability?
Bioavailability is the extent to which your body can absorb, process, and use any given nutrient.
It’s how we formulate AG1 and believe it is the ultimate standard for ingredient quality. Bioavailability is critical because it determines how much an ingredient affects your health.
It doesn’t matter where ingredients are sourced if they aren’t in a form that works with your body.
The nutrients you can absorb are the ones that will nourish you, so optimizing for bioavailability is absolutely essential to providing Foundational Nutrition.
Is AG1 Kosher and Halal certified?
AG1 is certified Halal.
AG1 is not currently Kosher certified.
The ingredients in AG1 do not contain animal byproducts, seafood, lactose, or dairy derivatives.
Does AG1 have natural flavors?
The flavor in AG1 comes from natural essences of the pineapple core, vanilla bean, and stevia.
The stevia in AG1 is a pure extract from the stevia rebaudiana leaf.
There are no artificial sweeteners in AG1, and no added sugar.
