What is Calcium Alpha-Ketoglutarate (Ca-AKG)?
It is an important biomolecule found in the body, it's one of the important intermediate products in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, a transporter of nitrogen, and a symbiotic substance in molecular oxidation. It plays an important role in the metabolism of microbial cells and is also an important precursor material for the synthesis of a variety of amino
acids and proteins.
It is one of two ketone derivatives of glutaric acid and a metabolite involved in energy production and amino acid synthesis. It is also part of the Krebs cycle and a precursor for several amino acids (e.g. glutamate, glutamine, leucine, and proline).
Studies reported that Ca AKG prolongs lifespan.

How does it work:
It works in numerous pathways within the body and follows the same catabolic pathways as amino acids, working by improving the digestion of protein in the body. It restores cellular energy and facilitates cell renewal which reduces the progression of age-related illnesses and frailty. It has protective properties from a number of the natural progression of aging, many of which are caused by age-related inflammation and loss of bone mineral density.
