Prices are estimates from public sources, checked Jul 2026, and change often, verify on the merchant’s site. A “lower-cost ingredient match” shares overlapping ingredients and a similar intended use; it is not a medically equivalent product or a guaranteed result.

AG1 costs about $79 a month. Strip away the branding and the daily greens and multivitamin it competes with comes down to commodity ingredients. Matched with budget greens powder, multivitamin, and probiotic, the same overlapping ingredients cost roughly $32 a month, an estimated $564 a year less. Because the brand uses a proprietary blend, its exact per-ingredient doses are not published, so some amounts cannot be matched or verified.
