They are designed to fill nutritional gaps and support overall health, particularly for individuals who struggle to consume adequate servings of whole fruits and vegetables. AG1 is one of the most well-known formulations, containing 75+ ingredients including vitamins, minerals, prebiotics, probiotics, and plant extracts.

    Safety & Cautions

    Side Effects

    • Bloating or gas when first starting
    • Mild nausea on an empty stomach
    • Digestive discomfort from probiotic adjustment
    • Metallic or earthy aftertaste
    Greens powders are generally well-tolerated, though individuals on blood thinners should be cautious due to vitamin K content, and those with allergies should review ingredient lists carefully given the large number of components. Consult a healthcare provider if pregnant, nursing, or taking medications that interact with specific vitamins or herbs.
