Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate, or AAKG. As its name implies, it contains L-arginine, an essential amino acid which our bodies naturally produce. It also contains A-ketoglutarate, a multi-functional molecule also produced in the body.
Function: L-Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AAKG) enhances nitric oxide (NO) production to improve blood flow and exercise performance, such as increasing muscle pump and reducing fatigue, while its alpha-ketoglutarate component supports energy metabolism by clearing ammonia, delaying fatigue, and stimulating growth hormone to promote muscle protein synthesis and post-workout or post-surgical recovery.
Application: Exercise Performance: Increases muscle “pump” during workouts, reduces fatigue, and enhances endurance in strength training or high-intensity exercise. Cardiovascular Health: May improve vascular elasticity and blood pressure regulation (human studies are still limited).
