Arginine Alpha KetoGlutarate (AAKG) Powder
Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate, or Arginine AKG, is a form of Arginine where two Arginine molecules are attached to an Alpha Ketoglutarate molecule. Alpha Ketoglutarate is a form of Glutamine. Both Arginine and Glutamine are amino acids. It is thought that the Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate formulation improves Arginine's absorption by the body. Arginine is a precursor for the synthesis of Nitric Oxide (NO), which aids in increasing blood flow to muscles and all parts of the body. Arginine is thought to improve overall immune function and reduce healing time from injuries and strenuous workouts.
