L-Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AAKG) 2:1
L-Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AAKG) combines L-Arginine with Alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid — a key Krebs cycle intermediate — in a 2:1 molar ratio. The AKG component both enhances the stability of the arginine fraction and independently participates in energy metabolism. AAKG is associated with improved exercise performance, increased muscle pump, and enhanced nitrogen retention compared to equivalent doses of free-form L-Arginine alone. Its improved solubility and stability profile also make it more suitable for dry powder blending applications.

Key Benefits
- 2:1 molar ratio provides 84% arginine equivalent with improved stability over free-base arginine.
- Alpha-Ketoglutarate is a direct Krebs cycle intermediate — supports aerobic energy production.
- Improved nitrogen retention compared to equivalent free-form arginine supplementation.
- Enhances muscle pump and vasodilation through sustained NO precursor supply.
- Better physical stability and flowability than L-Arginine Base in powder formulations.
