Product Name: Calcium Alpha-Ketoglutarate (Ca-AKG)

CAS No.: 56095-64-8

Description:

Ca-AKG is a stable form of the naturally occurring substance, alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) which is produced by our bodies up until the age of approximately 40, after which it radically decreases. During the earlier phases of life AKG is manufactured by our body during the energy-producing process, which takes place within our cells. We have amino acids called glutamine and glutamic acid; AKG is the nitrogen-free element of these acids and it provides fuel for our cells, giving a protective effect during our years of growth. It also supports our body at times of injury, particularly injury to muscular tissue. The cellular fuel it provides also helps our digestive system and kidney function as well as assisting with the building of bone tissue.

AKG restores cellular energy and facilitates cell renewal, thereby inhibiting the onslaught of age-related illnesses and frailty. It protects from many of the negative aspects of ageing, many of which are caused by age-related inflammation and loss of bone mineral density. It also gives protection to patients undergoing heart surgery by reducing metabolic abnormalities and giving improved myocardial protection.
