* Bloom: the Amazon page for Original lists 7 blend names but shows no Supplement Facts panel, and an image on that page says buyers may get the old or the new formula while Bloom changes it. The starred facts come from the latest Bloom label filed with the NIH (Berry flavor, Nov 22, 2024). Its scoop is the 5.3 oz tub divided by 30 servings. "Vitamins & minerals with %DV" counts rows above 0%, leaving out sodium and choline. Some labels print "about" a number of servings (for example, about 20 for Orgain); we use that number.
How we worked out the cost
We divide the Amazon price by the servings printed on the label. Then we multiply by 30 for one serving a day, which is what each label directs.
cost per serving = Amazon price ÷ servings in the containercost per 30 days = cost per serving × 30
Example: AG1 is $99.99 ÷ 30 = $3.33 a serving, or $99.99 for 30 days. Sports Research Organic Greens is $29.95 ÷ 20 = $1.50 a serving, or $44.93 for 30 days, because its tub holds 20 servings. These are one-time Amazon prices. Subscription prices on brand sites are often lower, and we do not compare them.
Which greens powders are on a testing list
We checked five public lists. A product counts only if the list names the same product. For NSF Certified for Sport, the listing must also include the pack size we link. A product that is not found reads "not found". That does not mean it was never tested; it means we did not find it on these lists.

AG1 has three NSF Certified for Sport listings that include the 360 g pouch: 1749844, 1680503 and 1700817. Informed Sport lists AG1 for the EU and the UAE, not the US. None of the 14 products is on the USP Verified list.
Lists checked: NSF Certified for Sport (each listing page read October 1, 2026); NSF/ANSI 173 dietary supplements (list dated August 25, 2026); Informed Choice (list read October 1, 2026; it lists product lines and does not show a country); Informed Sport (list as saved September 9, 2026); USP Verified. Informed Sport and Informed Choice list product lines, not flavors or sizes. Designs for Sport is listed by NSF under its parent brand, Designs for Health, as "Pro Greens + Reds".

What is in the scoop
- Proprietary blend. The label gives one total for a group of ingredients, not the amount of each one. AG1 has 4 blends that add up to 10,328 mg of its 12 g scoop. 4 of the 14 products print an amount for every ingredient: Transparent Labs Greens, Vibrant Health Green Vibrance, Gnarly Performance Greens and Thorne Daily Greens Plus.
- CFU. The count of live bacteria printed on the label, in colony-forming units. Some labels print it and some do not. Transparent Labs, BPN, Sports Research, Thorne and Designs for Sport list no probiotic.
- Scoop size. Scoops run from about 5 g (Bloom) to 16.17 g (Transparent Labs). The grams alone do not tell you what is in the scoop. The amounts on the label do.
- Vitamins and minerals. We count the rows with a % Daily Value above 0. AG1, Huel, IM8 and Gnarly list 20 or more. Bloom and Designs for Sport list iron only.
Not on Amazon
Live it Up Super Greens, Greenify and 1st Phorm Optigreens 50 often come up in AG1 alternative lists. We did not find them sold on Amazon on October 1, 2026, so they are not in the table. Optigreens 50 is on the NSF Certified for Sport list as listing 1639971.
Frequently asked questions
What is a cheaper alternative to AG1 on Amazon?
On October 1, 2026, Amazing Grass Super Greens cost $0.75 a serving and Bloom Greens & Superfoods cost $1.17, compared with $3.33 for AG1. Their labels are different from AG1’s. Amazing Grass lists 6 vitamins and minerals with a % Daily Value, and Bloom’s filed label lists iron only. AG1 lists 20.
Is AG1 third-party tested?
Yes. NSF Certified for Sport lists AG1 under listings 1749844, 1680503, 1700817, and each one includes the 360 g pouch (30 servings) we link. We checked them on October 1, 2026. AG1 is also on the NSF/ANSI 173 dietary supplement list, and Informed Choice lists the AG1 product line. Informed Sport lists AG1 for the EU and the UAE, not the US.
Which greens powders are NSF Certified for Sport?
Of the 14 we compared, NSF Certified for Sport lists BPN Strong Greens, Gnarly Performance Greens, Designs for Sport Pro Greens + Reds, AG1 Greens Powder and IM8 Daily Ultimate Essentials. Each listing includes the pack size we link. 1st Phorm Optigreens 50 is also listed, but we did not find it sold on Amazon.
How much does AG1 cost per day?
On Amazon, $99.99 for 30 servings is $3.33 a day at one scoop a day (October 1, 2026). AG1’s own site sells a subscription for less. We compare Amazon one-time prices for every product.
What is the difference between AG1 and AG1 Next Gen?
They are two formulas. The classic pouch we compare has a 12 g scoop and a 360 g pouch. Next Gen has a 13 g scoop and a 390 g pouch, also 30 servings. Both were $99.99 on Amazon on October 1, 2026. NSF Certified for Sport lists them separately: Next Gen is listing 1725966.
Does AG1 use a proprietary blend?
Yes. Four blends make up 10,328 mg of the 12 g scoop. The label gives the total for each blend, not the amount of each ingredient. Transparent Labs Greens, Vibrant Health Green Vibrance, Gnarly Performance Greens and Thorne Daily Greens Plus print an amount for every ingredient.
Which greens powders have no stevia?
By their labels: Amazing Grass Super Greens, Orgain Organic Superfoods, Garden of Life Raw Organic Perfect Food Juiced Greens, Vibrant Health Green Vibrance, Thorne Daily Greens Plus and IM8 Daily Ultimate Essentials. Amazing Grass lists fructose, and Green Vibrance and Thorne use monk fruit. The rest list stevia.
Is Huel Daily Greens like AG1?
Both list many vitamins and minerals with a % Daily Value (Huel 25, AG1 20) and both use blends. Huel cost $1.53 a serving on Amazon on October 1, 2026. We did not find Huel Daily Greens on NSF Certified for Sport, NSF/ANSI 173, Informed Sport or Informed Choice. Huel says it is third-party tested.
Is AG1 sold on Amazon?
Yes. AG1 sells the classic pouch, Next Gen, travel packs and refill pouches on Amazon. We link the classic 30-serving pouch.
