Dietary supplement with alpha-ketoglutaric acid.
alpha-ketoglutaric acid benefits:
Alpha-ketoglutarate is a natural compound that works in many pathways in the body, including making muscle and healing wounds. It's also used as medicine. Alpha-ketoglutarate seems to help the body rebuild muscle and reduce muscle loss after surgery or trauma. It might also have anti-aging effects.
What is the function of alpha Ketoglutaric acid?
Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG) is a biological substance that plays important roles in cell metabolism and physiology. AKG is synthesized from glucose or oxaloacetate plus pyruvate. As an intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, AKG is essential for the oxidation of fatty acids, amino acids, and glucose.
What does AKG do to the body?
AKG helps maintain nitrogen balance within the body, is a precursor to several amino acids, is a source of energy for cells, and functions as an antioxidant. It is used to produce glutamine.
Is AKG anti-aging?
Dietary alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) declines aging and prolongs lifespan in model organisms. AKG promotes longevity acting more likely as a hormetin than as a mimetic of dietary restriction.
What are the side effects of alpha ketoglutaric acid?
No significant side effects caused by alpha-ketoglutarate have been reported in humans but as with any supplement, if you do experience any adverse effects you should cease taking it immediately and consult your doctor.

What does alpha-ketoglutarate bring about?
α - ketoglutarate dehydrogenase brings about oxidation & decarboxylation.
Is AKG good for skin?
AKG also plays a role in maintaining stem cell health (R), and in bone and gut metabolism (R). Calcium alpha-ketoglutarate is also involved in collagen production, can reduce fibrosis, and can thus play a role in maintaining healthy, youthful skin and delaying aging (R,R).
What are natural sources of AKG?
Sourcing Ca-AKG from Food

When should I take the AKG supplement?
For our Ca-AKG supplement, we recommend taking one capsule in the morning after breakfast or lunch. Please always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
Where does alpha-ketoglutaric acid come from?
Oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate in the TCA cycle and oxidative desamination of glutamate are main sources of AKG in the cell. As a TCA cycle intermediate, AKG is involved in ATP production via mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.
