What is the function of alpha Ketoglutaric acid?


Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG) is a biological substance that plays important roles in cell metabolism and physiology. AKG is synthesized from glucose or oxaloacetate plus pyruvate. As an intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, AKG is essential for the oxidation of fatty acids, amino acids, and glucose.

What does AKG do to the body?


AKG helps maintain nitrogen balance within the body, is a precursor to several amino acids, is a source of energy for cells, and functions as an antioxidant. It is used to produce glutamine.

Is AKG anti-aging?


Dietary alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) declines aging and prolongs lifespan in model organisms. AKG promotes longevity acting more likely as a hormetin than as a mimetic of dietary restriction.

α - ketoglutarate dehydrogenase brings about oxidation & decarboxylation.

AKG also plays a role in maintaining stem cell health (R), and in bone and gut metabolism (R). Calcium alpha-ketoglutarate is also involved in collagen production, can reduce fibrosis, and can thus play a role in maintaining healthy, youthful skin and delaying aging (R,R).

What are natural sources of AKG?
