L-Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate(1:1) CAS:16856-18-1

L-Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate, shortened simply to AAKG, is comprised of two important compounds to your health. Arginine is a semi-essential or conditionally essential amino acid, meaning that it is necessary to proper health and bodily functions but can only be created in the body under specific situations. Normally, it comes from supplements or from diet sources, including soy beans, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, dairy products, and poultry and other lean cuts of meat. Alpha ketoglutarate is an important compound created during the Krebs cycle, which breaks down molecules to create a pool of energy. When combined, alpha ketoglutarate has actually been shown to increase the intestinal uptake of arginine. AAKG presents a wide range of potential benefits and uses that may improve your health and wellbeing.
