Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG) is a food-grade key Krebs-cycle intermediate used in sports nutrition, anti-aging and clinical nutrition for energy metabolism, nitrogen disposal and cellular longevity support.We supply bulk Alpha-Ketoglutarate sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder form for food and beverage manufacturers worldwide. Our Alpha-Ketoglutarate is widely used in performance supplements, longevity formulas, parenteral nutrition, amino acid chelates and animal nutrition.
Alpha-Ketoglutarate is a five-carbon dicarboxylic acid and central metabolite of the Krebs cycle.
Produced commercially by fermentation or chemical synthesis, AKG serves as an energy substrate, nitrogen scavenger and cofactor for dioxygenase enzymes. Applied in sports nutrition (performance, recovery), anti-aging supplements (longevity research) and clinical nutrition (parenteral amino acid formulations).
