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
Micronutrients
Micronutrients, from vitamins and minerals, energize and support the cells of the brain, gut, and immune systems.*
Micronutrients are as important to life as macronutrients — they’re just needed in smaller amounts (hence micro). These nutrients are a key part of Foundational Nutrition as they act as individual building blocks in the body and are required for cellular turnover. Without them, we couldn’t produce energy, build proteins, metabolize food and hormones, or other vital processes.*

Phytonutrients
Phytonutrients, found in whole foods, help balance the body and maintain key processes between all of our health systems.*
In line with the latest research showing a connection between longer health spans and a diet rich in phytonutrients, Foundational Nutrition expands on traditional nutrient recommendations to include these active compounds. Phytonutrients, which are also micro in size, are found in the roots, seeds, fruits, and leaves of plants, and support the body in ways that help optimize nutrition each day, and with age.*

Synbiotics
Pre and probiotics, known as synbiotics, optimize the gut to unlock nutrient access and enhance absorption.*
We are not well designed to absorb all nutrients from plants, so we require our gut and gut microbiome to help us to digest and transform nutrients so they are more effective in the body. Foundational Nutrition employs pre and probiotics to support these systems, because micro and phytonutrients are only as powerful as they are useful.

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. Signs of good health like energy, focus, strength, and clarity are a reflection of adequate nutrition daily.*
The brain and nerves make up one of the most nutritionally demanding systems in the body. It is the control center for almost every function we have — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

The need for Foundational Nutrition supplements
To support our baseline, we have essential needs like nutrient replenishment, stress management, gut optimization, and immune support. While some micronutrients can be obtained through diet alone, optimal health requires more. For a strong health foundation, a diverse set of phytonutrients and gut support - both of which are hard to get in the standard diet - are key.*
AG1 is the ultimate Foundational Nutrition supplement that provides all three at adequate levels, closing the gap between surviving and thriving.
The nutrition solution trusted by experts
“I have taken AG1 daily since 2012. It makes it easy for me to get a wide array of high-quality vitamins, minerals, probiotics, fiber, and adaptogens, and it tastes great. When I take it, I notice that I have more energy and my digestion is better. Put simply, AG1 is foundational to my nutrition and my overall health.*”
Andrew Huberman, PhD
Neuroscientist and host of the Huberman Lab
“Everyone has certain foundational nutrients they need to function at their best. I love that AG1 provides these in just one scoop. From micronutrients to phytonutrients to pre-and probiotics, it gives me peace of mind that my bases are covered and nutritional gaps, filled. As a former all in one supplement skeptic, I am thoroughly impressed with and highly recommend AG1.”

I Love AG1
I feel so much better since I ditched my daily multivitamin and switched. I have energy. My stomach isn’t grumbling anymore. It gets delivered every month. It really couldn’t be any easier.

Long Time Customer
I have been using AG1 for at least 5 years. It’s much better than taking a multivitamin and it’s got a surprisingly good taste. It’s not bad at all. Their customer service is also some of the best I have ever experienced.

FAQs
Did AG1 start the Foundational Nutrition category?
The concept of Foundational Nutrition was first introduced decades ago with the multivitamin: a simple solution to covering the nutrient gaps in your diet. But science has evolved significantly since then, and everything we know about the body says a multivitamin alone is not enough to empower whole body health.* AG1 is an easy, drinkable daily habit that supports brain, gut, and immune health. In a convenient powder form, AG1 combines vitamins, minerals, stress adaptogens, pre- and probiotics, antioxidants, superfoods, functional mushrooms, and digestive support, that all work together in synergy to empower your body’s health systems.*
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.
