AKG is a more bio-available form of Arginine (or L-Arginine) which is a crystalline, free-form amino acid involved in numerous areas of human biochemistry, including muscle metabolism, ammonia detoxification, hormone secretion, and the immune system. L-Arginine is considered a semi-essential amino acid because although it is normally synthesized in sufficient amounts by the body, supplementation is sometimes required. Arginine supports protein synthesis as it is involved in the transport and storage of nitrogen and is important for proper physical performance because it is used by the body to produce creatine.
Benefits
1. Supports protein synthesis.
2. May increase levels of Growth Hormone (GH).
3. Increases nitric oxide to extend muscle pump.
4. Increases blood flow and nutrient delivery to muscle tissue.
Some Application
Boost Nitric Oxide to extend muscle pump, enhance muscle growth and get rock-hard muscle: Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AAKG) can boost short-term nitric oxide (NO) levels which creates a muscle growth environment in your body by increasing the volume of blood flowing through muscle tissue which leads to increased oxygen and nutrient delivery, glucose uptake, muscle velocity, and power output. AKG helps amplify muscle-growth signals giving faster gains in lean mass, and accelerates both fast and slow twitch muscle fiber for greater strength, improved muscle recovery, and increased endurance.
