AAKG contains Arginine, a conditionally essential amino acid that has a number of vital roles in human biochemistry.  Arginine plays a pivotal role in the urea cycle, helping to rid the body of excess ammonia.  This amino acid is also important in protein synthesis as well as for the support of healthy  immune function.  NOW® AAKG has paired Arginine with Alpha-Ketoglutarate, another key player in amino acid metabolism, as well as in energy production.*

Approximately 66 servings per container.

Amino Acids

As the building blocks of protein, amino acids are vital to health. Next to water, amino acids in the form of proteins make up the greatest portion of our body weight. They comprise tendons, muscles and ligaments; organs and glands; hair and nails; important bodily fluids, and are a necessary part of every cell in the body.

There are over 20 amino acids, separated into two categories – essential and non-essential. Essential amino acids are those that cannot be manufactured by your body, hence, it is essential that you obtain them from your diet. Non-essential amino acids can be manufactured by your body, however, your body must have the right combination of essential amino acids and supporting nutrients to optimize healthy protein maintenance, so supplementation may be desirable.
