I\u2019ve managed to heal my gut and reverse my biological age. I&#8217;ve swapped my hair, nail and eyelash extensions with strong, healthy versions of the real thing, and I now spend more of my time doing what I love. A lynchpin of a lot of this is a good morning routine. Our bodies love consistency, and good mental health depends on a cocktail of safety, certainty, and healthy habits.<\/p>\n<p>Part of my now well-established routine entails drinking electrolytes, a protein shake, and a greens powder. But, despite being the most popular product of its kind, beloved by the likes of<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.the-independent.com\/life-style\/health-and-families\/gwyneth-paltrow-diet-carbs-paleo-vegan-b2740943.html\"> Gwyneth Paltrow<\/a>, Hugh Jackman, Cindy Crawford, and Joe Rogan, I hadn\u2019t considered trying the AG1 greens powder. Until now. <\/p>\n<p>AG1 promises to be an all-in-one supplement with convenience. The brand says that one daily serving can \u201celiminate the need for many other supplements, such as many multivitamins and multiminerals, good bacteria, greens and superfood powders, vitamin B complexes, and vitamin C tablets. It supports digestion, which means it may also replace other digestive aids.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Greens powder isn\u2019t a substitute for a balanced diet, but a decent one should help fill gaps if your diet lacks certain vitamins, minerals, or phytonutrients. It should contain appropriate doses of probiotics, enzymes, and fiber for gut health and be free from unnecessary bulking agents and fillers that might upset your microbiome. <\/p>\n<p>Many aren\u2019t particularly bioavailable, meaning they aren\u2019t absorbed well by the body. Several also contain smaller amounts of key nutrients, which are generally lower quality. And lots also taste terrible and don\u2019t really mix that well with water. <\/p>\n<p>In a bid to find out how AG1 compares to the others on the market, and if it really is worth $100, I spent a month putting it to the test. <\/p>\n<p>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-independent.com\/extras\/indybest\/us\/best-fitness-tracker-b2922740.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Best fitness trackers, reviewed by a running coach<\/a><\/p>\n<p>How I tested <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/AG1-athletic-greens.png\"  loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"When testing, I swapped my usual supplement protocol for a stripped-back version\" class=\"sc-1mc30lb-0 ggpMaE\"\/>When testing, I swapped my usual supplement protocol for a stripped-back version (Emilie Lavinia\/The Independent)<\/p>\n<p>I took AG1 every morning for a whole month. I mixed it with water and drank it as part of my morning routine, tracking my energy levels, how happy my gut felt during that time, and my skin, hair, and nail health. <\/p>\n<p>I compared AG1 with other leading greens powder brands I\u2019ve tried and assessed the brand based on ingredient profile, pricing, packaging and design, and how well the formula mixed with water. I considered the following closely: <\/p>\n<p>Flavor: Greens powders are not the most delicious things to drink \u2014 it\u2019s a health drink, not a cola. But I considered how it tasted and whether it was drinkable. I also compared the flavor to other leading brands. Formula: I\u2019ve found that powders can be difficult to mix with water, and there\u2019s nothing worse than a lumpy drink. So I closely monitored how well the formula mixed and how easy it was to get to the perfect consistency. Ingredients: I studied the ingredients list, analyzing whether there is any ambiguity over what\u2019s included. Results: Throughout the month-long testing period, I did a lot of body watching, noting down if there were any changes in my skin, energy levels, and mood. <\/p>\n<p>Read more:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-independent.com\/extras\/indybest\/us\/best-sleep-trackers-b2923814.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Best sleep trackers for 2026, reviewed<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In my experience, when I&#8217;ve seen someone who appears to have their life together, they usually have these&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":339304,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[134,111,139,556,69],"class_list":["post-339303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nutrition","tag-health","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nutrition","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=339303"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339303\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/339304"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=339303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=339303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=339303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
