Calcium Alpha-Ketoglutarate
Calcium Alpha-Ketoglutarate (Ca-AKG) is a calcium salt of alpha-ketoglutaric acid, playing a significant role in the body's metabolic processes. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water.
MAIN FUNCTIONS
Energy Metabolism: As an intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle), it participates in the process of intracellular energy production. It helps oxidize and decompose nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), providing energy for cells. This can enhance physical strength and endurance and improve fatigue.
Amino Acid Metabolism: It is involved in the transformation and metabolism of amino acids. Through transamination with amino acids, it generates new amino acids or alpha - keto acids, regulating the balance and utilization of amino acids. It also serves as an oxidative substrate for amino acids, participating in their oxidative metabolism to produce energy and carbon dioxide, which is crucial for maintaining the homeostasis of amino acids and protein metabolism in the body.
Antioxidant and Immune Regulation: It acts as an antioxidant, scavenging free radicals and protecting cells from oxidative damage. Additionally, it can regulate the function of the immune system, promoting the activation and proliferation of immune cells, thereby enhancing the body's resistance to diseases and infections.
Bone Health Support: The combination of calcium and AKG can improve bone mineral density, increase bone formation markers, and reduce bone loss, which is beneficial for maintaining bone health, especially in preventing age - related bone loss and osteoporosis.
Muscle Function Enhancement: For athletes and fitness enthusiasts, it may help enhance muscle function and promote recovery. After high - intensity exercise training, it can increase endurance to some extent, reduce fatigue, and help the body recover from exercise - induced fatigue more quickly, preparing for the next training session.
DOSAGE
The recommended daily dose of Calcium Alpha - Ketoglutarate is 1000 - 3000 mg. However, the optimal dosage may vary depending on individual health factors and specific therapeutic goals. It is best to consult a healthcare professional before use to determine the appropriate dosage based on your specific situation.
COMMON SPECIFICATIONS
