Why Ca-AKG

Age well, with steady energy and strength

AKG is one of the molecules your cells run on, and levels fall as you get older. Ca-AKG tops it back up with one capsule a day, to support healthy ageing, steady energy, and strong muscle and bone.

How Ca-AKG works

Top up. Age well.

  1. 1
    AKG fades with ageBlood levels fall about tenfold from 40 to 80
  2. 2
    One capsule tops it up500mg of calcium AKG, the form used in the research
  3. 3
    Your cells keep goingFuels the energy cycle and healthy-ageing pathways

Top up what time takes

Ca-AKG gives your cells back the AKG that age takes away, one 500mg capsule a day. It's the same calcium form the Buck Institute used in its landmark ageing study.

Younger on the inside

In a 2021 study, adults taking a Ca-AKG formula for about 7 months scored 8 years younger, on average, on a DNA-methylation age test.

Strong muscle and bone

AKG feeds the protein building behind muscle and bone. In a 6-month trial, calcium AKG lowered a blood marker of bone breakdown by 37%.

Randomised controlled trial, 2007 · 76 women

Steady energy, no stimulants

AKG is a core part of the energy cycle in your mitochondria. No caffeine, so there's nothing to crash from, and people who train describe quicker bounce-back.

One active ingredient: calcium alpha-ketoglutarate

Inside your cells

AKG keeps your energy cycle turning

Inside every cell, your mitochondria run the Krebs cycle: a loop of eight molecules that turns the food you eat into the energy your body runs on. Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is one of the eight, and your body leans on it for three big jobs.

  • Energy. It keeps the cycle turning, so your mitochondria can make usable energy.
  • Muscle and bone. It feeds the amino-acid metabolism behind protein building.
  • Healthy ageing. The enzymes that add and remove chemical tags on your DNA need it to work. DNA-methylation age tests read those tags.

Ca-AKG is not AAKG. AAKG (arginine AKG) is a pre-workout ingredient, and the ageing research didn't use it. Ours is the calcium form used in the studies below.

What to expect

How it builds, month by month

Ca-AKG isn't a stimulant, so steady daily use matters more than timing. Here's how the first months usually go at one capsule a day.

  1. Weeks 1–2

    Lock in the habit

    Your daily AKG top-up starts. No jolt and no crash, so it's easy to keep up.

  2. Weeks 4–8

    Steadier energy

    People who take it daily report more even energy and quicker bounce-back after training.

  3. Month 3

    Feeling good overall

    Bottle one is done, and energy holds steady through the day.

  4. Months 4–10

    The research window

    The 2021 human study measured biological age after 4 to 10 months.

The research

Studied in people, not just in the lab

Ca-AKG has been tested in human studies on biological age and bone, and a placebo-controlled trial is under way. Here's the clearest result, then three more.

Human study · 2021 · 42 adults · about 7 months

After about 7 months, people scored 8 years younger on a biological age test, on average

The adults took a Ca-AKG formula (1g a day with vitamins). Most of them lowered their biological age, and people who started out biologically older saw the biggest drops.

The study had no placebo group. The ABLE trial, now under way, adds one.

Randomised controlled trial · 2007 · 76 women

In postmenopausal women with low bone density, 6 months of calcium AKG (6g of AKG a day) cut CTX, a blood marker of bone breakdown, by 37%. That was significantly more than calcium alone.

Placebo-controlled trial · under way

The ABLE trial in Singapore gives 120 adults aged 40 to 60 either 1g of Ca-AKG or a placebo for six months, with biological age as the main measure.

Lab studies · 2014 and 2020

How to take it

One capsule. Once a day.

How to take it

One capsule, once a day

  1. Take 1 capsule a day on an empty stomach, or as directed by your physician. That's the full 500mg serve.
  2. Take it at the same time each day. Mornings with your other supplements are easy to remember. Good to know: if it sits badly on an empty stomach, take it with a meal.
  3. Stay consistent for months. The human research measured results after 4 to 10 months. At 1 capsule a day, one bottle lasts 90 days.

What's inside

One active ingredient. Nothing else.

Calcium alpha-ketoglutarate is the stable calcium form of AKG, and the form used in the ageing research. Each capsule holds 500mg of it with a little rice flour, in a plant cellulose shell.

FAQ

Questions, answered

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.

How fast is delivery, and what does it cost?
