We track down families who lost their homes in 'Chris the Kiwiâ Ashendenâs property dealings. And what happens next is what Powder Keg, the podcast, is all about â Ashenden, his unorthodox billion-dollar business and his magical mystery powder.
All we know is that his company AG1 is headquartered at an address in Carson City, Nevada. If it comes to the crunch and he doesnât front, weâll need to go there to talk with the companyâs founder.
What we didnât know is the story of criminal offending that will emerge â a story that Chris the Kiwi didnât want told.

When investigative journalist Jonathan Milne started slugging back an expensive, vivid green AG1 shake every morning to get in shape for his 50th birthday, he knew what the companyâs chief science officer said â that the green powder product would make him healthier.
What he didnât know about were the adverse reports to the Food and Drug Administration of liver damage, nor of the scrutiny by the courts, and now of a national regulator.

Chris Ashenden and Jonathan Milne are both Kiwi blokes in their late 40s. Chris has an unrelenting personal ambition â itâs served him well. The business leaderâs quest wasnât for the Holy Grail, it was for a holy green drink.
Jonathan is an investigative journalist. Whatâs served him well is his doggedness. And when Chris wouldnât front for an interview about the success of his green powder shake and his US$1.2 billion company, Jonathan began asking questions.
At first, Chrisâs AG1 supplement had been targeted at sportspeople and gym freaks â but by last year, we reveal heâd rebranded to target the widest possible market of middle-AmericaâŠdesk-bound 30- or 40-something mums and dads, anxious to get back in shape.

Some stories grow from a green shoot; some explode like a powder keg. The global supplement market is worth $200 billion a year, and Chris Ashenden is a rock star of the industry.

A baby taken, a mother jailed, a couple forced apart and facing deportation without their daughter.
