Creatine Alpha-Ketoglutarate 2:1

Description

Creatine AKG is a salt formed from alpha-ketoglutaric acid (AKG) and creatine. 

Creatine-AKG transports more creatine directly into muscle cells and these results in a higher muscular creatine concentration.

 

One of the most innovative and increasingly popular forms of creatine available today is creatine alpha-ketoglutarate (a.k.a., creatine-AKG). It has a wealth of advantages over regular creatine that any bodybuilder, powerlifter, or athlete can certainly use to help make incredible gains in muscular size and strength.

Benefits

Creatine-AKG transports more creatine directly into muscle cells and this results in a higher muscular creatine concentration. With a higher creatine concentration in the muscle, strength and power performance is significantly enhanced.

 

This means more reps and heavier weights in the gym, which can quickly translate into greater muscle growth. Also, with more creatine being shuttled directly into muscle cells, more water is pulled inside cells.

 

This is a benefit because it can trigger an immediate anabolic response, whereby muscle cells quickly expand due to the influx of water (cell volumization), and protein synthesis is stimulated (new muscle fiber growth) to fill up the intracellular space.4

This is a fascinating process and the key to creatine-AKG's powerful muscle-building effects. Another benefit of creatine-AKG is that it doesn't cause transporter downgrade. Regular creatine requires a creatine transporter protein for its uptake into muscle cells.
