Impact of Alpha-Ketoglutarate on Skeletal Muscle Health and Exercise Performance: A Narrative Review (2024)
Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is a pivotal metabolic intermediate within the Krebs cycle and it plays a vital role in cellular energy production and nitrogen metabolism. Table 1 is summary of AKG's various roles.

Alpha-ketoglutarate
Did you happen to see if L-Arginine a-Ketoglutarate is just as beneficial?
I should rephrase, in other words do studies delineate on the amino acid conjugated? -
@bio3nergetic - Arginine α-ketoglutarate (AAKG) containing supplements have been associated with adverse effects requiring hospital admission.
Adverse effects associated with arginine
α-ketoglutarate containing supplements (2009)Risk assessment of "other substances"
– L-arginine and arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (2016)Most the recent work has been performed using calcium α-ketoglutarate (Ca-AKG) which is more expensive but not life-threatening.

Thanks @DavidPS I am some how not surprised! Arginine anything is a major risk.
