Xyne vs. AG1 — An Honest Comparison
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 line of dissolvable oral strips. Here's where each one fits, what's actually in them, and the side-by-side cost math.
The 30-second version
- AG1 is a greens powder with 75 ingredients in proprietary blends. Good if you want a single morning ritual covering a wide nutritional baseline, and you don't mind mixing a drink. Roughly $3.30 per serving on subscription.
- Xyne is a line of 8 targeted strips, each with 2–4 named actives and every dose printed on the label. Better if you want to pick the specific formula you care about, don't want to mix or swallow anything, and want no sugar. About $1 per strip.
Format
| Trait | AG1 | Xyne |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery | Powder + 8oz water | Thin film, dissolves under your tongue |
| How long it takes | Scoop, mix, drink 8oz, rinse the shaker | Dissolves in about 30 seconds — nothing to swallow |
| Water required | Yes | No |
| Travel-friendly | Travel packs, still needs a shaker + water | Tin in a pocket, no logistics |
| Added sugar | None listed | None — stevia, monk fruit, erythritol |
| Taste | Sweet-grassy powder | Flavored film (cranberry, mango-orange, mixed berry, etc.) |
Ingredients
AG1 packs 75 ingredients into a single 12g daily serving — vitamins, minerals, adaptogens, mushroom extracts, probiotics, digestive enzymes, prebiotics and antioxidants. Most are grouped into proprietary blends, so individual ingredient doses aren't disclosed.
Xyne offers 8 separate strips, each with 2–4 named actives and the exact dose 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 sit behind proprietary blends. You don't know how much vitamin D, how much probiotic or how much of any adaptogen you're getting per serving — only the total weight of the blend.
Xyne. Every active appears on the supplement-facts panel with its exact dose. No proprietary blends, nothing hidden inside a "complex."

Who AG1 is for
- People who want a single morning ritual covering a wide nutritional baseline
- People who like the ritual of mixing a drink
- People who don't mind paying a premium for breadth and brand
- People comfortable with proprietary-blend dosing
Who Xyne is for
- People who can't or won't swallow pills and capsules
- People who don't want to mix powders, carry a shaker or rinse a bottle
- People who dislike the taste and texture of greens powders and gummies
- People avoiding sugar — Xyne strips have none
- People who want exact doses on the label, with no proprietary blends
- People who want to pick one or two specific formulas instead of paying for 75 ingredients
- People who need a lower per-serving cost
Where they coexist
These products aren't strictly competitors. We've heard from customers who drink AG1 in the morning for the baseline and keep a tin of Xyne Energy Strips in a bag for the afternoon, or who use AG1 for general coverage and Xyne Bone Support because they want a D3 and K2 dose they can actually read on a label.
If you want both, both fit. They solve different problems.
