Our Members Asked:
AGZ for Sleep – Is It Worth It?

Answer:
AGZ, a dietary supplement by Athletic Greens (the company that manufactures Athletic Greens AG1), claims to "support restful, restorative sleep" without melatonin. The supplement can be mixed with water or milk and taken before bedtime allegedly to "cue your body and mind to start winding down."
