AG1 (Athletic Greens)
Claim →Performance

One scoop. 75 vitamins, minerals, and whole food nutrients.

The world's most successful podcast-advertised supplement. AG1 built a $1B+ valuation largely through podcast sponsorships, starting with Joe Rogan. The "one and done" supplement positioning created a new product category.

💡

AG1 didn't invent greens powder — they invented the concept of greens powder as a complete daily supplement. Then they bought every podcast ad available. Category framing + owned channels.
