AKG (Alpha Ketoglutaric Acid)
ALPHA-KETAGLUTARIC ACID
Food supplement, 180 capsules
The nutritional supplement ALPHA-KETAGLUTARIC ACID of the American company Double Wood Supplements provides energy and tone throughout the day.
Alpha-ketoglutaric acid (AKG) is an organic acid that is important for the proper metabolism of all essential amino acids, as well as for the transfer of cellular energy in the Krebs cycle. In addition to being a precursor of glutamate and glutamine, AKG also acts as an antioxidant. It plays a major role in many metabolic processes in humans and animals.
Alpha-ketoglutaric acid reduces the levels of ammonia formed in the brain, muscles and kidneys. It also helps to improve nitrogen balance in the body. People who suffer from bacterial infections or gastrointestinal inflammation can take AKG to control ammonia levels in their body and protect their tissues from damage.
As a precursor to glutamate and glutamine, it is a central metabolic fuel for cells involved in building the gastrointestinal tract. AKG can reduce protein catabolism and increase protein synthesis to improve connective tissue formation in skeletal muscle.
In addition to these health benefits, a recent study found that AKG may extend the lifespan of the elderly by inhibiting ATP synthase and the rapamycin receptor. Alpha-ketoglutaric acid not only prolongs life, but also slows down the development of some age-related diseases.
- Modulates protein synthesis and bone development
In cellular metabolism, AKG is an important source of glutamine and glutamate. In this way, alpha-ketoglutaric acid stimulates protein synthesis, inhibits the breakdown of muscle proteins, and is an important metabolic fuel for cells in the gastrointestinal tract.
- It can stabilize the homeostasis of the immune system
Alpha-ketoglutaric acid plays an important role in general immune metabolism. As a precursor of glutamine, it has immunostimulating properties, can support the health of the gastrointestinal flora, increase the defenses of immune cells and reduce bacterial translocation.
- It has the ability to modulate aging
Alpha-ketoglutaric acid plays an important role in suppressing a large number of diseases, including diabetes mellitus, obesity, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Recent studies also show that AKG has an alleviating effect on oxidative stress, which is a major cause of cell aging.
