Quick answer: AG1 is a well-marketed greens powder, but at roughly £79–£97 per month it is one of the most expensive ways to buy micronutrients in the UK. Credible alternatives fall into three camps: cheaper greens powders with transparent labels, food-form greens capsules (no taste, no mixing), and simply pairing a quality multivitamin with real vegetables. Which is right depends on why you wanted AG1 in the first place.
What are you actually buying with a greens powder?
Greens powders are dried, concentrated plant ingredients — typically grasses, algae, vegetables and fruit extracts — plus added vitamins. The honest assessment: they are a convenience layer over a good diet, not a replacement for one, and much of AG1's price is brand, not ingredients. Our evidence review of the category is here: Are greens powders worth it vs AG1?
The three credible alternatives
1. Transparent-label greens powders
If you like the daily-drink ritual, choose a powder that declares every ingredient dose rather than hiding behind a proprietary blend, and skip anything with artificial sweeteners — we cover the clean options in our guide to greens powders without sweeteners.
2. Greens capsules — the no-taste route
If the real goal is covering micronutrient gaps and you never loved the taste, capsules solve the compliance problem entirely. SuperBio packs 35+ organic superfoods with digestive enzymes into food-form capsules — halal approved, vegan, UK made — at a fraction of AG1's monthly cost.
3. Multivitamin + actual vegetables
The least glamorous option and often the most rational: a quality multivitamin covers the vitamin layer for pennies a day, and the fibre, polyphenols and satiety of whole vegetables cannot be powdered. See how the two categories compare: greens powder vs multivitamin.
What about halal certification?
This is where most greens products — AG1 included — leave UK Muslim buyers guessing: vitamin D source, capsule material and processing aids are rarely certified. Every BioBodyBoost greens and wellness product is halal approved with supply chain verification, which removes the label detective work entirely.

Frequently asked questions
Is AG1 halal?
AG1 does not carry halal certification. If certification matters to you, choose a certified product rather than relying on ingredient-list guesswork.
Do greens capsules work as well as powders?
The delivery format matters less than the ingredient quality and dose. Capsules trade the large scoop volume for compliance — the best supplement is the one you take daily.
Can greens powders replace vegetables?
No — powders concentrate micronutrients but lose most fibre and the satiety of whole food. Treat them as a top-up, not a substitute.
