AG1 Review – Does AG1 Really Work?

AG1 greens powder has become popular with influencers and makes some controversial health claims. Although it contains numerous potentially beneficial ingredients, its price point makes it more costly than competing greens powders.

Made up of 75 ingredients – such as vitamins, minerals, whole foods, superfoods, digestive enzymes, probiotics, and adaptogens – the proprietary complexes include several herbs that have been clinically researched to offer potential health benefits.

You can find even more information on how it works in this AG1 review.

Adaptogen Complex in AG1

Adaptogens are plant-based herbs packed with complex compounds that help your body respond and cope with physical and psychological stress, says Powell. Adaptogens work by balancing hormone levels and changing physiology so that everything from your brain, immune system and energy levels function normally – including your mind!

Adaptogens, or adaptogenic plants, can come in powder or capsule form and even be added directly into food such as teas. Research indicates that holy basil (tulsi), an ingredient often included in herbal chai blends, can help relax and reduce stress on its own.

Ashwagandha is another adaptogen, providing more energy, supporting restful sleep and helping regulate cortisol levels, according to Powell. Additionally, this herb from the basil family boasts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which may prevent chronic diseases.

Ginseng, another adaptogen, can provide energy boosts during stressful situations and help reduce fatigue and mental fogginess according to research. Eleuthero, Siberian ginseng or Rhodiola can also relieve mental and physical fatigue and boost memory and mental function; all three herbs act as low molecular-weight “vaccines” and mild stressors to activate your HPA axis, part of your immune, cardiovascular and endocrine systems that better cope with more serious stressors (but before taking supplements consult with naturopath/herbalist before beginning this regimen).

AG1 Features a Digestive Enzyme Complex

If you experience gas, bloating or heartburn after eating, your body isn’t digesting and absorbing your food correctly. Digestive enzymes play a key role in this process and their insufficient production or damage to the digestive tract could be at fault, leading to these unpleasant symptoms.

Digestive enzyme supplements may be an excellent solution to these symptoms and nutritional goals, provided you select an enteric-coated product with multiple different digestive enzymes or blends that survive stomach acidity to reach their intended destination in your small intestine for maximum effectiveness.

VHI Clinical’s top pick contains an array of digestion-supportive ingredients such as papain, lipase and protease enzymes to aid in digestion. Ginger root and gentian extract have also been shown to ease digestive discomfort such as bloating and heartburn.

Important considerations when selecting a digestive enzyme supplement include its target foods, as well as any intolerances or allergies you have. For example, if you suffer from galactosemia (avoiding alpha-galactosidase) or take certain medications to manage diabetes then sucrase and lactase should be avoided as well as cellulase and hernoglobin enzymes which digest cell walls such as cellulase and hernoglobin.

Use AG1 as Whole Food Phytonutrient

Plants contain phytonutrients that provide numerous advantages to human health, beyond vitamins and minerals. These chemical constituents give foods their distinct colors, flavors and aromas; some known as phytochemicals or flavonoids have even been studied as potential treatments for cancer, heart disease and other illnesses. Incorporating phytonutrients into diet may act as antioxidants in the body while helping prevent fat oxidation, inflammation reduction and supporting healthy cell growth.

Natural sources of antioxidants include plants such as colorful fruits and vegetables, herbs, and whole grains. To get maximum benefit from them, it is advisable to consume a variety of these foods regularly.

Addition of these foods to your daily diet can provide essential phytonutrients needed for good health, with many of the best sources being available within our Whole Food Phytonutrient Complex.

Organic ingredients make this blend truly nutritious, providing your body with essential vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients it needs for good health. Its super greens (comprising of spirulina, kale and wheat grass) contain vitamins B1, B2, B3, C, E and A as well as chlorophyll to balance pH levels, promote detoxification, promote weight loss and support energy levels – while moringa and fennel seeds add fiber, lignans (which support healthy gut bacteria) and other important phytonutrients to this special mix!

Probiotic Powers of AG1

Gut bacteria play an essential role in supporting digestive function and many digestive issues stem from decreased levels of these organisms. Clinical Effects has developed a probiotic supplement with multiple strains of bacteria to reenergize and promote digestion.

This formula uses a blend of shelf-stable probiotic strains that are resilient against stomach acid and can reach both small and large intestines, as well as supporting immune response by strengthening specific responses such as recognizing and neutralizing toxins.

Each capsule includes Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus sporogenes, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Saccharomyces boulardii as proven probiotics for improving intestinal health and relieving digestive symptoms such as constipation and diarrhea. Prebiotic inulin also aids these probiotics as they thrive within your digestive tract.

This formula can also provide relief for IBS and bloating, without adding sugar, sodium or artificial ingredients to its composition.
