1 lb. L-Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate 2:1 AKG Powder 1000mg (454g) AAKG Nitric Oxide USP & FCC Maximum Strength Pharmaceutical Grade By Dual Health

Facts: Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate, or AAKG, is a form of arginine in which two arginine molecules are attached to an alpha-ketoglutarate molecule. Arginine is an amino acid and alpha-ketoglutarate is a form of another amino acid called glutamine. It is believed that this formulation improves arginine's absorption, thereby further increasing nitric oxide (NO)production. Benefits: AAKG has been shown to be used by the cells in your blood vessels to make nitric oxide, or NO. NO causes the blood vessels to dilate, which may increase blood flow to the muscles when working out. The benefits of arginine alpha-ketoglutarate are similar to those of arginine, mostly due to the increased NO production, which increases blood flow to muscles and all parts of the body. Research shows that arginine may help the body repair wounds, may help some kidney disorders, may help decrease the severity or incidence of migraine headaches, AAKG appears to help speed wound healing. AAKG is a precursor to the substances ornithine, proline and hydroxyproline. These three substances are all involved in the production of the protien collagen which is the main component of your skin.
