Magnesium Alpha-Ketoglutarate (Mg-AKG) is a chelated form of alpha-ketoglutaric acid (AKG) bound with magnesium, combining two bioactive compounds into one synergistic ingredient.
Alpha-Ketoglutarate is a key intermediate in the Krebs cycle, essential for energy metabolism, nitrogen balance, and cellular repair.
Magnesium is a vital mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, supporting bone strength, cardiovascular health, and nervous system balance.
Together, Mg-AKG is widely studied for its role in healthy aging, mitochondrial function, and metabolic support, making it a promising raw material in nutraceuticals, sports nutrition, and anti-aging formulations.
