L-Arginine alpha-Ketoglutarate (AAKG)

L-Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (AAKG) is a salt formed between the amino acid L-arginine and alpha-ketoglutaric acid (2-oxoglutaric acid), an intermediate of the citric acid cycle, combining one molecule of each. Nustras supplies it as a white crystalline powder used in sports-nutrition and amino-acid supplements; a vegan-suitable grade is available.

It is formulated into pre-workout and amino-acid powders, capsules, tablets, effervescent and ready-to-mix beverage powders, and into nutritional blends alongside other arginine forms and amino acids.

The material is a white to off-white crystalline powder, odourless; CAS number 16856-18-1, molecular formula C11H20N4O7, molecular weight 320.30. Arginine and alpha-ketoglutarate content, loss on drying, pH and specific rotation are standardised to specification; identity is confirmed by infrared spectroscopy and assay by HPLC or titration, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate is marketed as a sports-nutrition and supplement ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm its regulatory status, permitted level and claim for their application.
