OverviewDietary Supplement3rd Party Lab Tested in the USAVeganSafe - Heavy Metal TestedGMP CertifiedHow it works:Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is a compound that is created naturally in the body but tends to diminish with age. In supplement form, AKG can be attached to a calcium salt (Ca-AKG), which has been studied for its role in supporting metabolic function and longevity.Ca-AKG is involved in stimulating protein synthesis and energy production in the body, as it is a vital component of the Krebs cycle - the process that creates ATP (energy) from food. Ca-AKG is also a source of the essential amino acids needed to make collagen, which is a protein that helps to support bone and muscle health.Ca-AKG facilitates our internal recycling process known as autophagy, which removes dysfunctional cells, cell parts and proteins from the body. Autophagy tends to decrease with age, so Ca-AKG may be able to help support this process.Adding calcium to AKG helps to slow the absorption of AKG allowing it to work longer in the body.
