Description

Alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid (AKG) is a ketone derivative of glutaric acid which is found naturally in the human body where it has a number of functions including acting as an intermediate step in the Krebs cycle, helping to form amino acids, transporting nitrogen, and acting as an antioxidant.

While AKG plays many roles in the body, it is commonly supplemented by athletes to support athletic performance, and as a supplement to support longevity. This function has been established in multiple animal studies but there has yet to be any human trials to see if this benefit is also true for humans.

Recommended Dosage

As a supplement for athletic performance, we recommend taking between 2-4 capsules of Alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid (1000 – 1500 mg) about an hour before competing. As a daily supplement for longevity, we recommend taking two capsules per day (1000 mg).

As AKG is water soluble it does not need to be taken with food for proper absorption. We do not recommend exceeding 4 capsules per day.

Side Effects

As a naturally occurring compound in the body, Alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid is extremely safe and well tolerated. Studies on AKG have found adverse side effects to be extremely rare even after years of daily use. Reported side effects include dizziness, vomiting, and diarrhea.

We don’t recommend that pregnant women use AKG as there is no research on its safety in pregnant women.

Really hard on the stomach

My girlfriend almost wanted to go to the hospital because her stomach hurts so much after taking these… I take one per day after meal and it’s not that bad…

One big problem with it....

Well, AKG is very acidic, and can wreck your gut. I started out using it and could not tolerate it. Then, I thought well if it is the acidity, why not dump the capsule into a glass and apply some baking soda water {one tsp BS to a few oz. of water}, which I do by the teaspoonful until it stops fizzing, then I know it is neutralized. Have had zero problems with it since I have done that. but, it would be nice to have an affordable Ca-AKG supplement where I didn't have to do this procedure.

I am a physician who pracitices anti-aging/life extension medicine. I take (and recommend to my patients) to take multi-gram doses of AKG for its demonstrated anti-aging effects. I recommend the Double Wood brand, primarily because they are clearly involved in the science supporting their choice of products to carry.

Krebs cycle

I take this with my pre workout. Combined with HMB gives a little energy for workouts. If you understand the science behind this product then I recommend it. Giving 4 stars because it took me 3 weeks to get order as the first one never arrived.

AKG suppliments

I discovered a definite improvement in my general mobility & an additional benefit was little to no lactic acid burn
