AG1 Reports Short‑term Micronutrient Gains, Targeted Microbiome Effects
A 2026 Frontiers in Nutrition study found that daily AG1 supplementation markedly improved micronutrient adequacy in trained adults, closing gaps in vitamins A, C and E without altering calorie intake. The formula also produced modest, targeted shifts in gut microbiota, enriching probiotic strains such as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Bifidobacterium animalis, and altered fecal metabolites toward fiber‑fermenting profiles.

The company has committed $20 million over three years to fund independent research on the full blend.
