What is L-Arginine-AKG L-Ornithine-AKG

L-Arginine-AKG L-Ornithine-AKG combines the power of the amino acids arginine and ornithine with alpha-ketoglutarate (AAKG).

It promotes increased nitric oxide (NO) (Wikipedia_ production for enhanced circulation leading to better delivery of oxygen and nutrients to working muscle.

L-Arginine-alpha-ketoglutarate (AAKG) is a compound made from the amino acid L-arginine and alpha-ketoglutarate, a substance produced during the body's energy-generating process.

L-arginine promotes circulation as a precursor to nitric oxide (NO), a key regulator of vasodilation (the process by which blood vessels dilate, allowing a greater volume of blood to flow through).

Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) is made up of the amino acid ornithine and alpha-ketoglutarate.

Ornithine AKG is a precursor to glutamine and helps break down carbohydrates in the body to produce energy. L-ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) aids performance in hypercatabolic states associated with strenuous sports like weightlifting.

The nitrogen-sparing quality of OKG may be related to its ability to reduce the rate of glutamine loss, since glutamine plays a role in protein turnover during the catabolic states.

Health Benefits of L-Arginine-AKG L-Ornithine-AKG

L-Arginine-AKG L-Ornithine-AKG supports energy and endurance during exercise.

L-ornithine and alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) work to regulate glutamine levels. L-glutamine is a primary source of cellular fuel, which makes metabolic processes possible.

By encouraging the excretion of ammonia (released during exercise), L-arginine-AKG L-ornithine-AKG inhibits lactic acid buildup, which causes muscle fatigue.
