AG1 breaks a strict fast. One scoop has about 40 to 50 calories, with around 6 g of carbohydrate and 2 g of protein from greens, fruit powders and probiotics. For a weight-loss fast the effect is small; for a clean or autophagy fast, drink it in your eating window.

AG1 blends vitamins and minerals with powdered greens, fruit extracts, mushrooms and a probiotic. The plant powders bring a few grams of carbohydrate and a little protein. That is enough energy to end a strict fast, though it is far less than a meal.
The brand suggests taking AG1 first thing in the morning, which is also when many people are still fasting. If you follow a 16:8 schedule, take it with your first meal instead; the vitamins are absorbed just as well, and fat-soluble ones even better with food.
One scoop a day, taken at the start of your eating window, keeps your fasting hours clean.
