What is Ca-AKG?
Ca-AKG is calcium alpha-ketoglutarate, the calcium salt of AKG. Your cells make AKG every day in the Krebs cycle, the process that turns food into energy, and levels fall as you get older. The calcium salt is the stable form used in the ageing research, and it's what's in every capsule.
How does Ca-AKG support healthy ageing?
AKG is a key molecule in cellular energy production. It also acts as a nitrogen scavenger, helping clear cellular waste, and it's needed by the enzymes that manage DNA's chemical tags. In a 2021 study, adults taking a Ca-AKG formulation scored an average of 8 years younger on a DNA-methylation age test.
Will it help my training?
Ca-AKG supports cellular energy production and may enhance exercise performance. It also supports bone and muscle health, which is why it's popular with people who train. Many people who train report faster recovery and steadier energy.
Is Ca-AKG the same as AAKG?
No. AAKG is arginine alpha-ketoglutarate, a pre-workout ingredient. Ca-AKG is calcium alpha-ketoglutarate, the form used in the ageing research. Check the ingredient list before you buy anywhere.
How do I take it?
Take 1 capsule a day on an empty stomach, or as directed by your physician. Pick a time you'll remember. Many people take it with their morning supplements. If it sits badly on an empty stomach, take it with a meal.
How long does a bottle last?
At 1 capsule a day, a bottle lasts 90 days. Two bottles last six months, three last nine and five last fifteen. Take more than one a day and it runs out sooner.
How long until I notice anything?
Ca-AKG isn't a stimulant, so there's no jolt on day one. People who take it daily tend to report steadier energy and quicker recovery after the first month or two. The human research measured biological age after 4 to 10 months of daily use, so plan for the long run.
Can I take Ca-AKG with NMN?
Yes, it's a popular pairing. NMN feeds NAD+, while Ca-AKG works in the Krebs cycle, so they cover different pathways. Both of ours come in 90-capsule bottles at one a day, so they run out together.
Is it safe to take long term?
AKG is a natural compound your body already makes as part of energy metabolism. Stick to one capsule a day. Don't use it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, and check with your doctor first if you take prescription medicines, have kidney problems or another medical condition, or already take calcium.
