Description
Each vegetarian capsule of Calcium alpha-ketoglutarate (Ca-AKG) contains 450 milligrams of calcium alpha-ketoglutarate. Each jar contains 100 vegetarian capsules.
As the name indicates, calcium alpha-ketoglutarate is the calcium salt of alpha-ketoglutarate. The bio-availability of calcium alpha-ketoglutarate is excellent.
Alpha-ketoglutarate is an intermediate in the Krebs cycle. It’s a precursor of both the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate and the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). It plays a pivotal role in the removal of ammonia in the body in multiple organs, at the same time decreasing the levels of oxygen radicals like hydrogen peroxide.
The body needs alpha-ketoglutarate for the conversion of proline to hydroxyproline, which is a component of type 1 collagen.
A study has shown that Calcium alpha-ketoglutarate (Ca-AKG) increases lifespan in mice: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32877690/ . Dr. David Sinclair uses Ca-AKG in his daily longevity stack. Patients with Hyperparathyroidism have been shown to benefit from Calcium-alpha-ketoglutarate by reducing elevated concentration level of phosphate in the blood.
