Comparison

Xyne vs. AG1: an honest comparison.

Two different products solving overlapping problems. AG1 is a powdered all-in-one greens drink; Xyne is a sublingual oral strip lineup. Here's where each one fits, what they actually do, and the side-by-side cost math.

The 30-second version

• AG1 is a meal-replacement-adjacent greens powder with 75 ingredients in proprietary blends. Great if you want a single morning ritual that covers a wide nutritional baseline. Roughly $3.30 per serving on subscription.
• Xyne is a line of 8 targeted sublingual strips, each with 2-4 named actives at clinical doses. Better if you want to pick the specific outcome (energy, sleep, recovery, bone, gut) and pay only for that. $1 per serving.

Format

Ingredients

AG1 contains 75 ingredients packed into a single 12g daily serving. The full ingredient list includes vitamins, minerals, adaptogens, mushroom extracts, probiotics, digestive enzymes, prebiotics, and antioxidants — most of which are grouped into proprietary blends where individual ingredient doses aren't disclosed.

Xyne offers 8 separate strips, each with 2-4 named active ingredients at exact doses on the label:

• Energy Strips — L-Theanine + Caffeine + Vitamin B12
• Cognitive Relax Strips — L-Theanine 50mg + GABA 25mg + Vitamin B6 6mg
• Bone Support Strips — Vitamin D3 2,000 IU + Vitamin K2 (MK-7) 120 mcg
• Iron Strips — Iron 19mg + Folate 400 mcg
• Appetite Balance Strips — Saffron 10mg + Chromium 75 mcg + Molybdenum 10 mcg
• Probiotic + Metabolism Strips — Bifidobacterium lactis 10B CFU + Polydextrose 50mg
• Mushroom Focus Strips — Lion's Mane + Maitake + Cordyceps + Shiitake fruiting-body extracts
• Hangover Strips — Curcumin, Andrographis, Phyllanthus, traditional botanicals

Dose transparency

AG1. Most ingredients are listed but doses are hidden behind proprietary blends. You don't know how much vitamin D, how much probiotic, how much adaptogen you're getting per serving — only the total weight of the blend.

Xyne. Every active is listed with its exact dose on the supplement-facts panel. The doses match published research where applicable. No proprietary blends.

Cost

Who AG1 is for

• People who want a single morning ritual to cover wide nutritional baseline
• People who like the ritual of mixing a drink
• People who don't mind paying a premium for breadth + brand
• People comfortable with proprietary-blend dosing

Who Xyne is for

• People with specific targeted outcomes (energy, cravings, bone, sleep, iron, etc.)
• People who want exact doses on the label, no proprietary blends
• People who don't want to mix powders or rinse shakers
• People with slowed gastric emptying (on GLP-1s, post-bariatric, IBD)
• People who need lower per-serving cost
• People with low B12, vitamin D, or iron who specifically benefit from sublingual delivery

Where they coexist

These products aren't strictly competitors. We've heard from customers who drink AG1 in the morning for the baseline and take a Xyne Energy Strip at 3 PM when they need a focused lift, or who use AG1 for general support and Xyne Bone Support to specifically backfill the D3 + K2 dose that AG1's proprietary blend doesn't disclose.

If you want both, both fit. They solve different problems.
