Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AAKG) is a salt formed from the amino acid L-Arginine and Alpha-Ketoglutarate, a key intermediate in the Krebs cycle. AAKG is widely recognized in sports nutrition for its role in enhancing nitric oxide (NO) production, thereby improving blood flow, muscle pumps, endurance, and nutrient delivery.
Unlike regular L-Arginine, AAKG provides superior absorption and sustained nitric oxide release, making it a preferred ingredient in pre-workout formulas and endurance supplements.
