AG1 vs Bloom: which greens powder is dosed better?
AG1, 52 against 48, and only because half its label is disclosed. Bloom puts everything inside six proprietary blends, including 75mg of adaptogens where one ingredient alone is studied at 300mg.
Short answer: AG1, 52 against 48, and the margin is about disclosure rather than quality. AG1 discloses its vitamin panel with real amounts, so half of it can be checked. Bloom puts everything inside six proprietary blends, including an adaptogenic blend of 75mg where a single adaptogen is typically studied at 300mg or more.
Two of the best known greens powders, both scanned off their own supplement facts panels. Neither scores well and they lose their points in different places.
The scores, and where they come from
| AG1 | Bloom | |
|---|---|---|
| Score | 52 | 48 |
| Vitamin panel | disclosed, with amounts | inside blends |
| Everything else | one blend | six blends |
AG1's advantage is narrow and real. Its vitamins and minerals carry their own figures and their own percentages, so that section behaves like a multivitamin and can be compared against what research uses.
Bloom does not give you that. Every ingredient sits inside one of six blends.
Bloom's six blends, and the arithmetic
This is the whole problem in one table.
| Blend | Weight |
|---|---|
| Fiber Blend | 1.506g |
| Green Superfood Blend | 1.337g |
| Pre and Probiotic Blend | 792mg |
| Fruit and Vegetable Blend | 527mg |
| Antioxidant Beauty Blend | 375mg |
| Adaptogenic Blend | 75mg |
The adaptogenic blend is the one to look at. 75mg, shared across multiple adaptogens. Ashwagandha on its own is studied at roughly 300mg to 600mg of a standardised extract. If that 75mg were entirely ashwagandha it would be a quarter of the low end, and it is not entirely ashwagandha.
The fibre blend is 1.506g, which lands exactly where greens powders always land: around 5% of a day's fibre target.
Why a blend weight cannot be credited
Ingredients inside a blend are listed in descending order by weight, and nothing requires an even split. So a 375mg blend of six antioxidants might be 340mg of the cheapest one and 7mg each of the rest, and the label would be equally accurate either way.
That is why an undisclosed ingredient scores nothing here. Crediting it means assuming a dose the manufacturer specifically declined to state.
What both get right
Both are pleasant to drink and both will get some vitamins into someone who otherwise gets none. That is a low bar and it is a real one.
Neither replaces vegetables, and the fibre line on either label tells you why in one number.
Which to buy
AG1 if you want the disclosed vitamin panel and accept you are paying a premium for a blend you cannot verify.
Neither, if what you actually wanted was the greens. A plain multivitamin plus actual vegetables costs less and you can check every number on it.

Verdict reads the label, not the reputation. Photograph the supplement facts panel and it pulls every dose, compares each against the amounts used in published research, and adds up your whole stack. It reports the arithmetic. It does not tell you what to take.
