TimeWarp vs. AG1 Next Gen
AG1 covers your daily nutrition.TimeWarp targets the biology of aging.
AG1 Next Gen combines 75 vitamins, minerals, probiotics and whole-food ingredients in one daily scoop. The TimeWarp Longevity Protocol brings together 25 longevity compounds across its daily protocol and monthly pulse, with advanced delivery formats, pre-portioned capsules and integrated longevity tracking.
The short version
AG1 is designed to cover your nutritional bases. TimeWarp is engineered to go beyond them.
AG1 Next Gen is one of the most popular daily health drinks for good reason: a broad multivitamin with methylated B vitamins, 10 billion probiotic cells across five strains, prebiotic fiber, CoQ10 and alpha-lipoic acid, third-party tested, with a 90-day money-back guarantee on subscription. AG1 has also funded its own randomized, placebo-controlled trials, which measured nutrient intake, gut bacteria and digestion over two to four weeks. That is good evidence for what AG1 is built to do: daily nutrition, not the biology of aging.
The TimeWarp Longevity Protocol is built for a different job: the biology of aging. It brings 25 compounds across six daily capsules and a two-day monthly pulse, including NMN with apigenin, Ca-AKG, cycloastragenol, 500 mg urolithin A, spermidine, a four-part sulforaphane system and a monthly senolytic pulse. AG1 includes none of these as dedicated ingredients, and every TimeWarp dose is disclosed on the label. On our scorecard method, TimeWarp reaches full strength on 10 of 12 drivers to AG1's 1.

The drivers of aging
How each formula covers the drivers of aging.
AG1 is built as foundational nutrition, not a longevity formula, so we rated it with the same method we use for longevity products: every disclosed ingredient mapped to the twelve drivers of aging a supplement can target, at the dose on the label. Ingredients in AG1's proprietary blends get credit where relevant, but without disclosed doses they can't reach full strength. That limits how confidently we can score them. It doesn't mean they do nothing. On that test, TimeWarp reaches full strength on 10 of the 12 and AG1 on 1, with 5 covered at moderate or above. Tap any driver to see the compounds behind each rating.
Genomic instabilityWhyStrongModerate
TimeWarpBeta-NMN 350 mg, 5-MTHF 500 mcg and methylcobalamin 200 mcg support DNA repair and methylation, with pterostilbene 50 mg and the sulforaphane complex for antioxidant defense.
AG1Vitamin C 500 mg, vitamin E, zinc, selenium and methylated folate and B12 support DNA maintenance. Rated Moderate because there is no NAD+ precursor for DNA repair.
Telomere attritionWhyStrongWeak
TimeWarpStandardized cycloastragenol 10 mg, one of the few compounds shown to activate telomerase, the enzyme that rebuilds telomeres. In a one-year randomized, placebo-controlled trial of an astragalus-derived telomerase activator, telomeres grew while the placebo group's shortened. Supported by vitamin D3 50 mcg, which slowed telomere loss in the 1,031-person VITAL trial.
AG1Astragalus root extract appears in a proprietary blend at an undisclosed dose. Rated Weak because the amount can't be checked and it is not a standardized telomerase activator like cycloastragenol.
Epigenetic alterationsWhyStrongModerate
TimeWarpCa-AKG 1,000 mg as a TET enzyme cofactor, the complete methylation cycle (5-MTHF, B12 and B6) and pterostilbene 50 mg.
AG1Methylated folate (680 mcg DFE), methylcobalamin 400 mcg, P5P and choline support methylation. Rated Moderate because there is no Ca-AKG or sirtuin activator.
Loss of proteostasisWhyStrongWeak
TimeWarpThe sulforaphane complex activates NRF2, alongside spermidine 10 mg and liposomal EGCG 80 mg.
AG1Antioxidants and plant extracts in the blends offer general support. Rated Weak because there is no spermidine or NRF2 activator at a disclosed dose.
Deregulated nutrient sensingWhyStrongWeak
TimeWarpBeta-NMN 350 mg, dihydroberberine 100 mg through AMPK, Ca-AKG 1,000 mg and pterostilbene 50 mg.
AG1Alpha-lipoic acid 100 mg, myo-inositol 100 mg and chromium support blood sugar handling. Rated Weak because these doses are below those used in most human studies, and there is no AMPK activator.
Mitochondrial dysfunctionWhyStrongModerate
TimeWarpBeta-NMN 350 mg, Ca-AKG 1,000 mg and magnesium bisglycinate 200 mg.
AG1CoQ10 60 mg, alpha-lipoic acid 100 mg, benfotiamine and B vitamins support energy metabolism. Rated Moderate because there is no NAD+ precursor.
Cellular senescenceWhyStrongVery weak
TimeWarpThe monthly pulse: liposomal fisetin 300 mg, isoquercetin 150 mg and bromelain 480 mg on each of two days, following the intermittent schedule used in senolytic research. Human evidence for senolytic supplements is still early.
AG1No senolytic compound at a disclosed dose.
Stem cell exhaustionWhyModerateVery weak
TimeWarpCa-AKG 1,000 mg and beta-NMN 350 mg support the energy metabolism stem cells rely on. Rated Moderate because human evidence for any supplement on stem cell function is still early.
AG1No ingredient aimed at stem cell function.
Altered intercellular communicationWhyStrongModerate
TimeWarpVitamin D3 50 mcg, vitamin K2 MK-7 150 mcg, liposomal curcumin 150 mg and rhodiola 200 mg.
AG1Vitamin C 500 mg, zinc 20 mg, beta glucan and vitamin K2 support immune signaling. Rated Moderate because the formula has no vitamin D (AG1 sells D3 separately).
Disabled macroautophagyWhyStrongVery weak
TimeWarpSpermidine 10 mg, a polyamine studied for its role in autophagy.
AG1No spermidine or other autophagy-focused compound.
Chronic inflammationWhyStrongWeak
TimeWarpLiposomal curcumin 150 mg through NF-κB, the sulforaphane complex through NRF2, apigenin 50 mg and liposomal EGCG 80 mg.
AG1Ginger, bromelain, licorice and grape seed extract appear in the blends, but at undisclosed doses that can't be checked against research.
DysbiosisWhyModerateStrong
TimeWarpDihydroberberine 100 mg, from the berberine family studied for its effects on the gut microbiome, with liposomal EGCG, curcumin and the sulforaphane complex supporting a healthy gut environment. The TimeWarp app builds fiber and diet habits into your day. Rated Moderate because the formula has no probiotic.
AG110 billion probiotic cells across five researched strains, plus inulin and other prebiotic fibers. The strongest gut support in our comparisons.
This comparison rates the 12 hallmarks in the 2023 framework, the molecular and cellular drivers a formula can target. A 2025 update in Cell proposed two more, extracellular matrix changes and psychosocial isolation, which are shaped largely by daily habits. The TimeWarp formula targets pathways linked to the first 12, and the TimeWarp app supports the habits associated with the newest two, like strength training and social connection. Together, the TimeWarp Longevity Protocol covers all 14.
“Full strength” is TimeWarp's own classification, not a clinical standard: a compound with an established mechanism for that driver, at a dose consistent with published human research, including clinical trials and human intake studies, in a form whose bioavailability supports that dose. Ratings measure formulation coverage, not proven clinical benefit. See the full scorecard method.
Senolytics
Hit and run, or every day?
Senolytics help clear senescent cells, the worn-out cells that build up with age. Senolytic research doses them in short bursts with weeks off in between, an approach known as hit and run, because cleared cells take weeks to build back up. A low daily dose takes a different approach.

The real price
The real monthly cost of each.
As sold, AG1 costs less, and it is built for a different job. It includes none of the TimeWarp formula's core longevity compounds. Below, we price what it would take to add the main ones as separate supplements.
About $10.03 a day. A hypothetical, partial regimen, not a product AG1 sells. It still leaves out pterostilbene, dihydroberberine, liposomal curcumin and EGCG, and other TimeWarp compounds.
$249/mo
About $8.30 a day for 25 compounds at disclosed doses: six capsules in one daily sachet, the monthly senolytic pulse and the TimeWarp app. No powders, scoops or bottles to manage.

Questions
TimeWarp vs. AG1, answered.
How does TimeWarp compare with AG1?
They do different jobs. AG1 Next Gen is foundational daily nutrition: vitamins, minerals, probiotics and whole-food ingredients. The TimeWarp Longevity Protocol is a longevity system built around the drivers of aging, with NMN, Ca-AKG, cycloastragenol, urolithin A, spermidine, a four-part sulforaphane system and a monthly senolytic pulse. On our scorecard method, TimeWarp covers all 12 drivers of aging a supplement can target, 10 at full strength, and AG1 covers 5, 1 at full strength, with its strength in gut health. These ratings compare formulations, not clinical outcomes.
Has AG1 been clinically studied?
Yes. AG1 has funded randomized, placebo-controlled trials. In a four-week study of 30 healthy adults, AG1 increased several probiotic species in the gut, with no significant change in overall microbiome diversity and a trend, not statistically significant, toward better digestive quality of life. A 14-day crossover study of 20 adults found AG1 helped participants meet more of their daily nutrient requirements. These studies measure nutrition and gut health, not biological aging. TimeWarp is built on ingredient-level research; the full protocol has not been tested in its own clinical trial.
Does TimeWarp cover all 14 hallmarks of aging?
Yes. The formula targets pathways linked to the 12 molecular and cellular hallmarks in the 2023 framework, 10 of them at full strength on our scorecard. A 2025 update proposed two more, extracellular matrix changes and psychosocial isolation, which are shaped largely by daily habits. The TimeWarp app supports habits linked to them, such as strength training and social connection. We compare formulas on the 12 because those are the ones a capsule can target.
Can I take TimeWarp and AG1 together?
They do different jobs, so some people use both. But they overlap on some vitamins, such as the B vitamins and vitamin C, and both contain botanicals that can interact with medications. Compare the two labels and check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them, especially if you take medication, are pregnant or have a health condition.
Is AG1 cheaper than TimeWarp?
Yes, as sold. AG1 Next Gen is $79 a month on subscription, or $99 one-time. The TimeWarp Longevity Protocol is $249 a month on the quarterly plan, about $8.30 a day. AG1 includes none of TimeWarp's core longevity compounds. Bought separately at retail, adding NMN, Ca-AKG, cycloastragenol, urolithin A, a sulforaphane supplement, spermidine and a monthly senolytic pulse would bring an illustrative, partial regimen to about $301 a month. That regimen is not an AG1 product.
Is TimeWarp a powder like AG1?
No. Every compound is in capsules: six a day from one daily sachet, plus two days a month of the senolytic pulse. Capsules can carry bitter or strong-tasting compounds at full dose, with nothing to mix and nothing to taste.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Your first quarterly order of the TimeWarp Longevity Protocol comes with a 30-day guarantee.
