Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is a biological compound that the body makes on its own, however, production decreases with age especially after the age of 40.
The naturally occurring compound, Alpha-ketoglutarate, works naturally with the body.
Supplementation has been used for health conditions that include kidney disease, intestinal and stomach disorders, oxidative stress, senescence (zombie) cells, increased energy and mental focus, DNA methylation, ammonia removal from the body, and many other conditions.
Alpha Ketoglutarate plays a vital role in the Krebs cycle which is a series of chemical reactions involved in the release of stored energy.
Because of the Krebs cycle function, Alpha ketoglutaric has also been associated with athletes for enhanced athletic performance and improved metabolism.
AKG has been widely studied with over 1,200 published papers for its health benefits for supporting a well-functioning body by institutions such as the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the prestigious Buck Institute for Research on Aging.
