Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (AAKG) is the salt of arginine and alpha-ketoglutaric acid bonded together.
Both arginine and alpha-ketoglutaric acid are precursors to nitric oxide (NO) production.
NO increases blood flow and therefore also increases nutrient transport to the skeletal muscles, nutrients which provide performance and recovery benefits.
Increased blood flow is believed to be linked to an increase in protein synthesis post workout.
Both arginine and alpha-ketoglutaric acid are precursors to nitric oxide (NO) production.
Nitric oxide vasodilates blood vessels, thereby increasing blood flow.
Exercise also creates an increase in blood flow which is made greater with AAKG supplementation.
This significant increase in blood means higher volumes of amino acids are delivered to the muscles to be utilised for protein synthesis and performance.
Arginine is involved in hormone secretion, wound healing, and immune system functioning.
Alpha-ketoglutaric acid is a vital intermediate in the Kreb's energy cycle, used in the formation of amino acids and is a nitrogen/ammonia transporter.
The combination of alpha-ketoglutaric acid's benefits with arginine's benefits give AAKG a clear edge over standard L-arginine.
