Biogena ONE vs AG1: Which Greens Powder Is Better?

Our own photo: Biogena ONE (left, first generation) and AG1 side by side.

Since Biogena ONE came onto the market in 2023, AG1 has had a serious competitor. The Austrian manufacturer makes no secret of the fact that it takes AG1 as its model: even the name “ONE” sounds like the “1” in AG1. We have been drinking AG1 for over ten years and Biogena ONE since 2023, and we compare both here point by point, with the recipes and prices of November 2026.

Both manufacturers offer a 30-day money-back guarantee for first-time buyers: Try AG1 with gifts or Try Biogena ONE on the Flex subscription.

Price comparison: what does one day cost?

On the regular subscription Biogena ONE is €4.40 a month cheaper than AG1, with code SuperfoodGreens5 even €8.53. But if you order now and want to drink AG1 for longer anyway, you are clearly better off with the AG1 Black Friday offer. For both, watch the follow-on price after the first delivery.

With our discount code SuperfoodGreens5 the price of Biogena ONE on the Flex subscription falls to €78.47 (€2.62 per serving), tested in the basket. Biogena no longer has subscriptions with a fixed term; the Biogena ONE Flex subscription can be cancelled at any time. More under Biogena ONE subscription.

Ingredients: similarities and differences

Our own photo: Biogena ONE (left) is much lighter than AG1.

Both powders share many basic ingredients: apple, spirulina, chlorella, wheat and barley grass, broccoli, spinach, carrot, papaya, inulin, reishi, blueberry, artichoke, dandelion, rosemary, grape seed, coenzyme Q10 and MK-7. The difference lies in the weighting. With AG1, apple powder is directly followed by the strongly green spirulina. With Biogena ONE a fruit powder blend, monk fruit extract, potassium citrate and natural flavourings come first. You can see that too: Biogena ONE is light and apple-like, AG1 dark green.

With vitamins and minerals the differences are bigger than you might think:

Our conclusion on the ingredients: Biogena ONE is more broadly based and covers vitamin D as well. AG1 uses higher doses for individual nutrients such as B12, zinc and the bacterial cultures. If you already take vitamin D, you should keep an eye on the total amount with Biogena ONE. You can find a detailed analysis under Biogena ONE ingredients.

Money-back guarantee

Both manufacturers offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. With AG1 it applies via the promotion page for first-time orderers, with Biogena ONE for first-time buyers who report the withdrawal in the subscription portal. Some sites recommend ordering both powders at the same time and sending one back. We do not think that is fair to the manufacturers. The guarantee is meant for the case that a product really does not suit you. How the return at Biogena works in detail is described by the manufacturer in its terms and conditions.

Taste compared

Biogena ONE

The first recipe tasted very apple-like because of the fruit powders at the front of the list, and we could only guess at the kiwi. Even half an hour after the shake the room still smelled of apple. With version 2 (since March 2026, monk fruit instead of sucralose) the taste has become much better: fresher, more balanced and no longer as apple-heavy.

AG1

AG1 is harder to describe; we have tried on the page AG1 taste . In a direct comparison AG1 is more restrained: less sweet, less sour, and the taste stays on the tongue for less time. In return AG1 forms a light crema, Biogena ONE hardly at all.

We rate taste neither as an advantage nor a disadvantage, because it is very personal. If you are unsure, first order the trial at Biogena for €3.90. To the Biogena ONE shop.

Packaging: sachets or pouch?

AG1 comes as a large pouch with 30 servings or as individually packed travel packs. You decant the pouch into the stainless steel tin that first-time orderers get for free and store it in the fridge. Biogena ONE only comes in sachets. That creates more waste but is practical: no measuring spoon, no refrigeration, exactly the same dose.

Our own photo: the slim Biogena sachet (left) is easier to pour into the bottle opening, while the AG1 travel pack is easier to tear open.

We have now got into the habit of sometimes drinking AG1 with half a scoop. That works less well with sachets. In the end it is a matter of taste, so there is no point here for either of them. View Biogena ONE sachets.

What is missing from both?

Neither AG1 nor Biogena ONE contains omega-3 fatty acids. Biogena offers a separate “ADD+ ONE Omega-3” for that. Protein and filling fibre are only present in small amounts in both. That is not a flaw: both are dietary supplements and not meal replacements. They do not replace a varied diet.

Frequently asked questions: Biogena ONE vs AG1

AG1 vs Biogena ONE: our conclusion

Both powders are good. After more than ten years our heart still beats for AG1, because of the weighting of ingredients and the higher doses of individual nutrients. But Biogena ONE is the first product that really comes close to AG1, and on transparency and vitamin D it is even ahead. That is why we drink them in rotation: AG1 one day, Biogena ONE the next.

For getting started in November 2026: if you want to try AG1, take the Black Friday offer until 2 December. You can get Biogena ONE here in the shop. If you want to try Biogena ONE, start with the Flex subscription and you can cancel after the first month. You can find more on the individual powders in our Biogena ONE review and the AG1 reviews.
