Alpha-Ketoglutarate (Ca-AKG)
Written by Sophie Chabloz Calcium Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG) is a master regulator of metabolism. It helps stimulate protein synthesis and inhibits protein degradation in muscles. In the context of collagen, AKG is a necessary cofactor for the enzymes that stabilize the collagen helix. Studies suggest AKG can support a younger biological age by influencing cellular energy pathways and reducing frailty.
