L-Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (AAKG) is formed when two arginine molecules combine with one molecule of alpha-ketoglutarate .
alpha-ketoglutarate is an intermediate compound in the series of reactions that produce energy for the body,it is the source of the amino acid glutamate and glutamine.Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain and can increase bone formation.glutamine is the main source of energy for cell.
To improve absorption in the stomach,alpha-ketoglutarate supplements come in the form of various salts,the most common combination is ornithine and alphar-ketoglutarate.
Alpha-ketoglutarate also regulates amino acid synthesis,energy production,and formation of free radicals.it functions as a messenger molecule in may chemical reactions in the body.
Arginine also known as L-Arginine,apart from being a component of proteins,stimulates the release of hormones such as insulin,glucagon,prolactin,and growth hormone.
Arginine also plays a critical role in maintaining normal blood pressure,heart function,and immunity.these functions are mediated through the production of nitric oxide.arginine is broken down into ornithine and creatine,ornithine is essential for cell growth and division,while creatine is important for muscle contraction.
Arginine in combination with alpha-ketoglutarate(as arginine alpha-ketoglutarate) has been mainly manufactured and marketed to athletes for its performance -enhancing potential .AAKG is also made as a health supplement in the treatment of diabetes, erectile dysfunction and overall vascular conditioning.
It is a kind of effective health care product for enhancing muscle stamina. It is mainly used in sports health and health improvement in European and American market.
