AG1 Next Gen review

A widely known greens powder. Vitamin and mineral amounts are listed individually, while the botanical, enzyme, and probiotic groups are presented as named blends.

The label serving is Powder, one daily scoop.

Readers who want a familiar reference point for comparing other products.

Vitamin and mineral amounts are listed individually, but we have not verified the per ingredient amounts inside the botanical and probiotic groups against a current facts panel.

We keep organic certification, supplier documentation and finished product testing as separate fields. Where a manufacturer states something we cannot confirm from a primary source, we record it as a claim rather than a verified fact.

Certified organic: Not stated as certified organic

• Supplier certificates of analysis: Not publicly verified. No published document from an identifiable source.
• Incoming ingredient testing: The brand publishes a quality standards page describing contaminant, heavy metal and pesticide screening across the formula.
• Finished product third party testing: NSF Certified for Sport. AG1 Next Gen appears on the NSF certified products listing.

These three layers are reported separately on purpose. A supplier document or an incoming ingredient check is not the same thing as an independent test of the finished product.

At the listed price of $99.00 for 30 servings, this works out to $3.30 per serving on the one time purchase, 30 serving pouch basis. Promotions and subscription pricing change often.

One of the highest prices per serving in the greens group, and the grouped blend amounts limit what the label tells you.

• Ingredient quality18%4.6 / 10

  Weighted across the ingredient attributes: not certified organic (4). Organic certification carries the most weight, then whole food sourcing, then named amounts and freedom from artificial additives. Attributes we could not publicly verify are held at the neutral baseline of 5.0 out of 10 rather than left out, so an unverified attribute earns no credit.

• Nutrient density15%Not publicly verified

  Not scored. We have not verified a nutrition facts panel and a serving weight for this product, so nutritional substance cannot be measured.

• Label transparency14%Not publicly verified

  Not scored. We have not verified the current supplement facts panel, so the disclosure level is unrecorded.

• Value per gram18%3.0 / 10

  $0.41 per gram of powder, scaled against the 8 products with both a verified price and a verified serving weight.

• Product per dollar5%3.0 / 10

  2.4 g of product per dollar, from the listed price and the total container weight, scaled against the 8 products where both are verified.

• Serving grams delivered5%4.7 / 10

  8 g delivered per label serving, scaled inside the greens powders group so scoops are compared with scoops and meals with meals. No verified nutrition panel yet, so the quantity is recorded as published without a density adjustment. This measures quantity delivered only; cost is handled by value per gram and ingredient sourcing by ingredient quality.

• Price per serving5%5.5 / 10

  $3.30 per label serving, scaled against the 11 products in the database with a verified price. A labeled serving is not a standard unit, which is why this criterion carries only 5% of the rubric.

• Testing and certifications10%10.0 / 10

  Finished product third party testing published: NSF Certified for Sport. AG1 Next Gen appears on the NSF certified products listing..

• Packaging protection10%10.0 / 10

  High barrier, amber or dark glass, foil laminate, or high barrier mylar with oxygen or moisture control. Sold as a resealable opaque foil laminate stand up pouch, with single serve travel packs offered separately. The foil layer blocks light and provides a strong oxygen and moisture barrier despite the pouch being light duty. Recyclability is not claimed for the pouch.

How this figure is calculated. Each criterion is multiplied by its rubric weight and the total is divided by the full 100 points of the rubric. A criterion we could publicly verify earns the points its evidence supports. A criterion we could not verify is held at the neutral baseline of 5.0 out of 10 and still occupies its full weight, so unverified evidence can never be excluded from the division and cannot earn the credit a verified strength earns.

For AG1 Next Gen the verified criteria contribute 4.6 x 18 + 3.0 x 18 + 3.0 x 5 + 4.7 x 5 + 5.5 x 5 + 10.0 x 10 + 10.0 x 10 = 402.8 points. The 2 criteria that are not publicly verified cover 29 points of rubric weight and contribute 5.0 x 29 = 145.0 points at the baseline. The total divided by 100 gives 5.5 out of 10.

71% of the rubric weight here is backed by publicly verified evidence. Not publicly verified means Greens Powder Guide could not independently verify this criterion from publicly available evidence. It does not necessarily mean the brand does not meet the criterion, which is why the baseline sits at the middle of the scale rather than at zero.
