Intact Digest™ vs AG1

Intact Digest™ vs AG1
AG1 is the category-defining "foundational nutrition" drink — 75 ingredients in one scoop, a sleek brand, and a price tag to match. This page compares it honestly to Intact Digest™: what each is actually designed to do, what's in the formula, and what the per-day cost looks like over a year.
The short answer
AG1 is a kitchen-sink greens-and-multivitamin powder built around the idea that one drink should cover as many bases as possible. It tastes reasonable, the brand is dialed in, and a lot of people genuinely like the ritual. Intact Digest™ is built on a different philosophy: fewer ingredients, dosed at meaningful amounts, with magnesium as the foundation rather than a footnote. If you want one scoop that hits dozens of micronutrients at modest doses, AG1 makes sense. If you want a tighter, fully-disclosed formula focused on the foundational minerals — with no proprietary blends — Intact Digest™ is built for that buyer. They're not the same product trying to do the same job.

Why each row actually matters
Formulation philosophy
This is the actual difference between the two products. AG1's bet is "more inputs, each at a moderate amount, will cover more bases." Intact Digest™'s bet is "a smaller number of inputs, each at a clinically meaningful amount, will move the needle more for the foundational job and you can layer specialty stuff on top if you need it." Both are defensible. Which one is right for you depends on whether you'd rather have broader coverage or deeper coverage on fewer ingredients.
Ingredient transparency
AG1 lists several of its sub-formulas as named blends with a total weight — you can see what's in the blend, but not how much of each ingredient. Intact Digest™ publishes per-ingredient milligrams for every active, no blends. The team's view: for a daily foundation you're going to take for years, you should be able to see every mg.
Magnesium specifically
Magnesium is the headline mineral in Intact Digest™ — ~360 mg per ¾-tsp serving (per the published mineral assay), in a seawater-derived ionic form. In a multi-ingredient greens product like AG1, magnesium is one ingredient among many [verify against current AG1 label for exact mg per serving].
Cost per day
At $49.99 per bottle, Intact Digest™ runs ~$0.78/day at single-bottle pricing and ~$0.70/day on Subscribe & Save — well under AG1's typical ~$2.63/day [verify against current AG1 pricing]. Subscription pricing matters: Intact Digest™ takes 10% off every shipment, indefinitely.
Money-back guarantee
30 days, full refund, on Intact Digest™. If it doesn't work for you, send it back. The team would rather refund you than have you stuck.
When AG1 might be the right choice
- You want broad micronutrient coverage in one drink. If your diet is genuinely inconsistent and you want to hedge across dozens of inputs, the kitchen-sink approach has real appeal.
- You like the AG1 ritual. Habit adherence matters more than formulation purity. If you'll actually take AG1 every morning, that's worth a lot.
- You value NSF Certified for Sport specifically. If you compete in a tested sport where NSF Certified for Sport is the requirement, that's a hard checkbox AG1 publicly meets [verify against current AG1 quality page].
When Intact Digest™ is the right choice
- You want a tighter, more focused foundation. Fewer ingredients, each at a meaningful dose, with no blends hiding ratios.
- You're already taking specialty supplements. If you have a protein powder, a creatine, a vitamin D you trust, you may not need a kitchen-sink greens product. You may just need a clean mineral-and-magnesium foundation.
- You care about per-ingredient mg. If you've been frustrated by proprietary blends, this label is built for you.
- You want a 30-day refund window. No long-term contract, no auto-renew penalty.
Quick questions
Can I switch from AG1 to Intact Digest™?
Yes. Most people finish their current AG1 pouch, then start Intact Digest™ the next morning at ¾ teaspoon in juice or water. Same time of day works fine.
Do I need to taper off AG1 first?
No taper is needed when swapping between daily greens/foundation products at maintenance dose.
What's the dosing difference?
AG1 is one scoop in water; Intact Digest™ is ¾ teaspoon in 2–3 oz of juice or water. The difference is what's in the dose — AG1 spreads across a larger ingredient count at moderate doses; Intact Digest™ focuses on a smaller set at meaningful doses with full per-ingredient disclosure.
Cost over a year?
At $49.99 per bottle, Intact Digest™ runs ~$285/year at single-bottle pricing (~6 bottles), or ~$257/year on Subscribe & Save. AG1 at single-bag pricing runs roughly $940/year [verify against current AG1 pricing]. Run your specific math.
Is Intact Digest™ a greens powder?
No — it's a foundational mineral-and-magnesium daily, not a greens product. If a green ingredient profile is the specific thing you want, AG1 is closer to that. If you want a clean mineral foundation with no proprietary blends, Intact Digest™ is closer to that.
