Calcium alpha-ketoglutarate (CaAKG) high purity, muscle, anti-aging
Ca-AKG powder / Calcium alpha-ketoglutarate / High activity, anti-aging, bone and muscle function maintenance / Nutritional supplements, functional foods, cosmetic ingredients
Calcium α-ketoglutarate (CaAKG) is a high-purity calcium salt derived from TCA cycle intermediates, involved in bone, muscle, antioxidant, immune, and aging regulation.
Calcium α-ketoglutarate (CaAKG) is a functional ingredient manufactured in high purity as a calcium salt of α-ketoglutarate (AKG). AKG is an important intermediate metabolite in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and has been reported to have a wide range of physiological effects, including maintenance of bone density, protection of muscle protein, stabilization of the immune system, antioxidant effects, regulation of aging, and enhancement of physical strength and endurance. CaAKG has low acidity and is less burdensome on the gastrointestinal tract, leading to improved absorption rates in the body, making it widely applicable in supplements, functional foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical auxiliary materials. It is particularly expected to have multidimensional health benefits, such as preventing muscle atrophy, inhibiting bone resorption, promoting collagen production, improving wound healing, enhancing brain oxygen utilization, and protecting cardiovascular and liver-kidney functions. In the livestock sector, AKG contributes to growth promotion, improved nitrogen utilization, enhanced immunity, intestinal mucosa repair, and skeletal development. In humans, it is utilized for postoperative recovery, aging-related diseases, and nutritional supplementation, also contributing to the improvement of vascular elasticity and neuroprotection through its antioxidant functions, as well as the removal of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Our CaAKG is produced using advanced manufacturing equipment, achieving high purity and low impurities for stable quality.
