Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG) is a naturally occurring compound found in the body with a growing list of potential health benefits. While it's been studied for its role in muscle health and exercise performance, research suggests AKG may also offer anti-aging properties, immune system support, and wound healing benefits. AKG is involved in various metabolic processes, including energy production and amino acid synthesis. As we age, AKG levels decline, which may contribute to age-related health issues. Supplementing with AKG could potentially slow down aging processes, boost immunity, and improve overall healthspan.
