AgeMate's Daily Longevity Blend and AG1 look like neighbours on the daily-scoop shelf, and the search term treats them as rivals. The two products actually sit in different regulatory boxes: one is a listed medicine on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, the other is a food made and sold under the Food Standards Code.
AgeMate is anchored on NMN, with a shorter list of vitamin, mineral and amino acid actives beside it. AG1 is a greens powder: a long ingredient list, a food-format nutrition information panel, and small amounts of protein and dietary fibre. This page walks each label and prices them per serve on 28 October 2026; a single note on the Formulated Supplementary Food category sits at the end, because the Code does not allow a food to be compared with a listed medicine inside the same table.
Is AgeMate a food or a medicine?
AgeMate's own site prints AUST L 529272 against the Daily Longevity Blend on its Our Standards page. The TGA's own register confirms the entry: product name Daily Longevity Blend (529272), registration date 23 July 2026, sponsor Agemate Australia Pty Ltd, licence category LI, status A (TGA, ARTG 529272, retrieved 28 October 2026, HTTP 200).
A listed medicine on the ARTG uses only pre-approved low-risk ingredients, is restricted to low-level health claims, and is not individually examined by the regulator before supply; the sponsor itself certifies the medicine against the applicable requirements for safety, quality and efficacy under the Act (TGA, Listed medicines, read via an archive snapshot captured on 21 September 2026 because the live page refused automated requests). Carrying an AUST L number records a registered supply pathway and a licensed facility, which is a separate question from whether the finished formula actually delivers the outcomes it is marketed against.
AG1 does not carry an AUST L or an AUST R number on its Australian pages. It is a food, so its label follows the Food Standards Code: a nutrition information panel in the Australian format with the standard rows (energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, sugars, sodium, dietary fibre) reported per serve, added vitamins and minerals, and a percentage daily intake column indexed to the 8,700 kJ labelling reference under Standard 1.2.8 (Standard 1.2.8).
What does one AgeMate scoop supply?
The pack directs adults to stir one 3.325 g level scoop into 240 ml cold water in the morning, for a maximum of twelve weeks unless a healthcare professional advises otherwise (AgeMate product page, retrieved 28 October 2026, HTTP 200). Fifteen declared actives sit on the label, grouped below by role.
- NAD precursor: 500 mg of nicotinamide mononucleotide, specifically the CellVive branded form.
- Amino acids: 850 mg glycine, 200 mg L-theanine (AlphaWave), 50 mg dimethylglycine hydrochloride.
- Minerals: 328.74 mg magnesium glycinate (= 46 mg elemental magnesium) and 12 mg zinc citrate dihydrate (= 4 mg elemental zinc).
- Vitamins: 250 mg ascorbic acid (C), 25 mg thiamine hydrochloride (B1), 300 mcg levomefolate calcium (an active folate), 180 mcg menaquinone 7 (K2), 100 mcg biotin, 50 mcg mecobalamin (methylated B12), 25 mcg colecalciferol (D3, 1,000 IU).
- Other actives: 300 mg dimethyl sulfone (MSM) and 55 mg choline bitartrate.
Beyond the actives the pack also lists carrier ingredients (acacia; maltodextrin; maize starch; MCT oil; starch sodium octenyl succinate), the flavour and colour system (natural flavours, blue spirulina, beetroot, thaumatin as sweetener, citric acid, sodium citrate), flow aids (silicon dioxide, colloidal anhydrous silica), and preservation additions (mixed tocopherols concentrate alongside ascorbyl palmitate, extra ascorbic acid, soya oil). Soy and phenylalanine are declared on the label; the brand's product page also lists sulfites in its warnings panel.
The scoop is deliberately small: the brand's dose density lives in milligrams of a few targeted compounds, not a broad food base. Printed figures across all fifteen actives come to roughly 2.57 g inside each 3.325 g scoop; the remainder is carrier, flavour and colour. Our AgeMate review is the long read on each ingredient.
What does one AG1 serve supply?
Our automated request to drinkag1.com returned HTTP 429 on 28 October 2026, the fifth consecutive block from that address. The figures below are therefore the brand's own Australian label for the AG1 Pouch, supplied to this engagement on 2 September 2026 (01-seo-geo/run-3/research/competitor-labels-2026-09-01.md). Formulations and flavours do change; always confirm the panel printed on the pouch you were sold.
The AG1 Pouch's nutrition information panel for one 13 g serve (one scoop or single-serve pack, with 30 serves per pouch):
- Energy: 172 kJ (41 calories).
- Protein: 2 g; fat 1 g total of which 0.4 g saturated.
- Carbohydrate: 5 g, sugars under 1 g.
- Sodium: 35 mg; dietary fibre 2 g.
Added vitamins, minerals and other actives on the same panel:
- Magnesium 16 mg; calcium 120 mg; zinc 15 mg; potassium 220 mg.
- Vitamin B12 at 400 mcg per serve, with vitamin C at 500 mg per serve.
- Live cultures: 10 billion CFU across five named strains.
- Other quantified actives: coenzyme Q10 60 mg, alpha-lipoic acid 100 mg, myo-inositol 100 mg, boron 500 mcg.
The ingredient list opens with organic apple powder, then pea protein isolate; the sweetener is monk fruit extract, and the label declares soy. AG1's five live-culture strains are Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, with Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM; Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 and Lactobacillus casei LC-11 sit beside Lactobacillus plantarum LP-115. The panel's percentage daily intake column is indexed against a label-reference figure of 8,700 kJ, which sits higher than most adults' Nutrient Reference Values recommend; a figure in that column reads as arithmetic against a label value, not against an individual's recommended intake (Standard 1.2.8).
What does the evidence show for each ingredient?
Separating ingredient evidence from product trials matters here, because neither finished blend has a published trial that showed up in our PubMed and Europe PMC search for the brand and product names on 28 October 2026. The two bodies of evidence sit in different places; they should not be read as proof of the specific blend you are buying.
For NMN, two single-ingredient trials come up repeatedly. The first ran 60 days with 80 middle-aged, healthy participants randomised across placebo and three NMN arms (300, 600 and 900 mg a day). All three NMN arms raised blood NAD; all three recorded longer six-minute walk distances than placebo; the authors reported no safety signals (Yi et al, GeroScience, 2023). Several co-authors sit at pharmaceutical companies, and none of the three doses matches AgeMate's 500 mg.
The pooled picture is more cautious. A 2026 systematic review pulled 15 oral-NMN trials in adults together and found no statistically significant change in body weight, fasting glucose, HbA1c, blood lipids or systolic blood pressure, with doses between 250 mg and 2 g daily over a fortnight to 24 weeks (Yang et al, Nutrients, 2026).
For AG1, the published base is one brand-funded 2024 crossover study: 20 healthy adults took AG1 for four weeks and placebo for four weeks in random order, with shifts in some faecal microbiota measures and no changes in short-chain fatty acid output or the primary gastrointestinal symptom scores it set out to test (Khine et al, Scientific Reports, 2024).
The honest reading: each product rests on single-ingredient research at doses that may not match its own serve, plus small early studies of its own blend. This article is general information, not medical advice; decisions about any medication belong with your doctor.
How much does AG1 cost?
AG1 is subscription-first in Australia and prices in Australian dollars on its own storefront. On the Internet Archive snapshot of drinkag1.com/en-au dated 6 March 2026, the AG1 Pouch was listed at $149 a month on subscription (30 serves per pouch) with a one-off price of $187, plus a first-order Welcome Kit valued at $114 (web.archive.org/web/20260306114109/https://drinkag1.com/en-au, retrieved 28 October 2026, HTTP 200).
By arithmetic, $149 for 30 serves works out at about $4.97 a serve on subscription; $187 for 30 is roughly $6.23 as a one-off. Both figures sit well above AgeMate's own current pricing: $79 a month on the Single Subscription ($2.63 a serve), $149 for the Double Subscription at 60 serves ($2.48 a serve), and $99 for a one-off thirty-serve tub ($3.30 a serve, that is $99 split 30 ways; both retrieved from the AgeMate product page on 28 October 2026, HTTP 200).
Is AgeMate vegan?
AgeMate declares no animal-derived actives on the label, and the brand's FAQ page confirms that the Daily Longevity Blend is vegan-friendly (AgeMate FAQs page, retrieved 28 October 2026, HTTP 200). The caveats are the ones the label itself flags: a soy allergen, phenylalanine, and sulfites. Anyone allergic to soy, sensitive to sulfites, or told to limit phenylalanine should check with a pharmacist before taking it.
AG1's Australian label lists pea protein isolate second in its ingredient list and declares that it contains soy. The panel is marked non-GMO and gluten "Not Detected", with monk fruit extract as the sweetener; AG1 is marketed as compatible with a plant-based diet, with no animal-derived actives declared.
Is there a difference between AG1 and AG1 next gen?
AG1's Australian pages have published two scoop sizes since 2024: an earlier 12 g scoop and the current 13 g AG1 Pouch described above, with the 13 g formula having replaced the 12 g one. The two formulas share the same five probiotic strains and the same broad ingredient families, and the current label is the one that ships today. AG1 markets the newer version as its upgraded standard, so a tin or sachet whose panel declares a 12 g serve predates the current product.
The practical rule is the same one that applies to every daily powder: read the panel on the pouch you were actually sent. If the serve size is printed as 13 g and the probiotic blend above appears on the ingredient list, you are holding the current version; if it is 12 g, you are holding the earlier formulation.
What else should you weigh beside the labels?
Three details do not appear on either panel: flavour (AgeMate is a berry powder tinted with beetroot and blue spirulina; AG1 publishes several flavour profiles per market), daily intent (a 500 mg NMN dose and a greens-base micronutrient scoop are built for different reasons), and return terms (both brands run month-to-month plans with their own refund windows). Over 90% of Australian adults do not meet dietary guidelines on the AIHW poor-diet measure (AIHW, Poor diet in adults), so if you are shopping for breadth of nutrition rather than a targeted compound, protein and dietary fibre are the lines worth checking first, and neither of these two scoops carries much of either.
Where HLTH+ sits in the Food Standards Code
Comparing a food with a listed medicine inside the same table is not permitted under Standard 1.2.7-8(b), so HLTH+ is not placed inside the tables above and this page does not rank it against the AgeMate blend. HLTH+ is a Formulated Supplementary Food under Standard 2.9.3; it is taken alongside meals, and the two categories are regulated differently from the ground up.
For context only: HLTH+ in a Women's 55g sachet carries 30g protein per serve as its headline figure, alongside 7g of dietary fibre, 5g of collagen and 60mg DHA. The same sachet lists 10 billion CFU Lactobacillus Plantarum Postbiotic and 30 essential daily nutrients in total, at RRP $6.00, dairy-free and gluten-free.
The life-stage range (Women's and Men's at a Women's 50+ and Men's 50+ step) references the Nutrient Reference Values, jointly developed in 2006 by the National Health and Medical Research Council, the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing and the New Zealand Ministry of Health. Because the recommendations themselves move with age and sex, one blanket scoop for every adult is a different design choice; a quick thirty-second ✦ Find My Formula quiz on the HLTH+ site surfaces the gaps your existing routine leaves across protein, dietary fibre and the balanced multivitamin profile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you take AgeMate and AG1 together?
Both brands list warnings on their own pages telling anyone on prescribed medication or managing a health condition to speak with a health professional first. No published study has tested the two blends taken together. A pharmacist can read the two labels against anything else you already take and advise you from there.
Does AG1 have NMN?
AG1's Australian label for the 13 g pouch does not declare NMN among its actives, and there is no NMN figure on its published ingredient list. AgeMate's Daily Longevity Blend declares 500 mg of NMN in the CellVive form, per 3.325 g scoop. On that specific compound, the two products are not substitutes.
Which is better for everyday nutrition?
Neither scoop is designed to replace meals. AG1's label declares 2 g protein with 2 g dietary fibre inside its 13 g serve; AgeMate's 3.325 g scoop supplies NMN, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, not food. For useful protein and dietary fibre every day, a food-based option carrying meaningful amounts of each is a different product.
Is AgeMate NMN approved by the TGA?
AgeMate's Daily Longevity Blend is listed as AUST L 529272 on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods. In the TGA's own words, listed medicines are not evaluated for efficacy before supply and the sponsor attests to compliance itself, so the common word "approved" overstates what listing means. "Listed" is the accurate description, consistent with the ARTG entry.
Where is AG1 made?
AG1 publishes an Australian label with Australian-dollar pricing and ships Australian orders from an Australian facility, as the March 2026 Internet Archive snapshot records. The live drinkag1.com site did not load for us on 28 October 2026, so the current pouch is the authoritative source for the specific supplier when you buy.
