L-Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate - Feed Ingredient

L-Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AAKG) is a compound consisting of the amino acid L-arginine bonded to alpha-ketoglutaric acid, an intermediate in the Krebs cycle. This combination is used to enhance the bioavailability and metabolic utilization of L-arginine.

In equine nutrition, AAKG is occasionally included in supplements targeted at performance or recovery. L-arginine serves as a precursor to nitric oxide, which plays a role in vasodilation and blood flow regulation. Alpha-ketoglutarate contributes to cellular energy production and nitrogen metabolism.
