α-Ketoglutaric Acid (AKG) Anti-Aging & Cellular Support

AKG Antioxidant & Longevity Ingredient

α-Ketoglutaric Acid (AKG) – Premium Functional Ingredient for Longevity, Antioxidant, and Cellular Health

α-Ketoglutaric Acid (AKG) is a dicarboxylic acid with a ketone group, naturally occurring as a key intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. AKG is widely recognized for its versatile physiological benefits, including cellular energy support, antioxidant defense, anti-aging, immune modulation, muscle preservation, and metabolic balance.

AKG participates in amino acid metabolism by reacting with ammonia to produce glutamate, which can further form glutamine, supporting protein synthesis and nitrogen balance. It also contributes to succinate production via hydration, generating CO₂ and H₂O, and scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). AKG serves as a critical energy donor for intestinal and other metabolically active cells, and helps maintain cellular redox homeostasis.
