L-Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AAKG) is an amino acid that may build and maintain muscle and improve athletic endurance. It is a 2:1 salt formed from two parts arginine and one part alpha-ketoglutarate. Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AAKG) can boost short term nitric oxide (NO) levels which creates a muscle growth environment in your body by increasing the volume of blood flowing through muscle tissue which leads to increased oxygen and nutrient delivery, glucose uptake, muscle velocity and power output. AAKG helps amplify muscle-growth signals giving faster gains in lean mass and accelerates both fast and slow twitch muscle fiber for greater strength, improved muscle recovery, and increased endurance.

- AAKG serves as a precursor to nitric oxide (NO) production in the body. Nitric oxide is a vasodilator, meaning it relaxes blood vessels, leading to increased blood flow and nutrient delivery to muscles during exercise.
- L-arginine is also involved in protein synthesis and serves as a precursor to other important molecules, such as creatine and polyamines, which play roles in energy metabolism and cell growth.3.AAKG supplementation is commonly used to enhance exercise performance, endurance, and muscle pump during resistance training and high-intensity workouts.
