Product Description: Supplement Third-party quality tested in the USA Vegan Safe - Heavy Metal Tested GMP Certified How it works: Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is a compound that is naturally produced in the body but tends to decrease as we age. When taken as a supplement, AKG can bind to calcium salts (Ca-AKG), which studies have shown play a role in metabolic function and longevity. Calcium-AKG is an essential component of the Krebs cycle, the process by which food creates ATP (energy), and therefore is involved in stimulating protein synthesis and energy production in the body. Calcium-AKG is also a source of essential amino acids needed to make collagen, a protein that helps with bone and muscle health. Calcium-AKG promotes an internal recycling process known as autophagy. This process eliminates dysfunctional cells, cell parts, and proteins. Since autophagy tends to decrease as we age, calcium-AKG can help support this process. Adding calcium to AKG slows down the absorption of AKG, allowing it to work longer in the body.
