Klaire Labs Alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid – Energy & Metabolism Support – 300mg AKG in Hypoallergenic, Vegetarian Capsules, Dairy & Gluten-Free (60 Capsules)
$26.99
Alpha-ketoglutaric acid (AKG) is a ketone derivative of the organic compound glutaric acid. It is important for the proper metabolism of all essential amino acids and the transfer of cellular energy in the citric acid, or Krebs, cycle.* It is a precursor to glutamic acid, the non-essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis.* In combination with L-glutamate, AKG can reduce levels of ammonia formed in the brain, muscles and kidneys, as well as help balance the body’s nitrogen chemistry and prevent nitrogen excess in body tissues and fluids. Individuals with high protein intake or gastrointestinal microbiota imbalance may benefit from supplemental AKG to help balance ammonia levels and protect tissues.*

I don’t know of another manufacturer/distributor.
For Alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid I don’t know of another manufacturer/distributor. If you don’t what Alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid is for, do some investigation. It may increase cell longevity, but of course if your on a chemo regimentation, then this is likely not something compatible. Klaire Labs seems reasonably concerned with quality and manufactures in the U.S. — a plus. Had one sales rep that pretended to know what she was talking about and didn’t. Upon further contact with Klaire the confusion (from the bad reps information) was resolved and Klaire was very interested in who the bad rep was.

Best thing ever
Trying to recover after a blood parasite infection left me with fatigue, insomnia, etc. This did the trick. Energy and metabolism returned. I added additional mitochondrial support such as PQQ, NADH, NAD+ and L-carnitine with phospholipids for even better results. Now my energy producing cells are matching my workout efforts and I’m sleeping at least 8 hours per night. Also, improved blood sugar after the blood parasite infection caused it to spike after meals.

I had heartburn issues with this.
I had to stop taking these as the produced a significant amount of heartburn for me. I was taking the Kirkman brand before this and didn’t realize those too were giving me heartburn. I thought it was due to something else. So once I ran out of the Kirkman stuff I had a couple of weeks before I started to take these. Then I took these and got really bad heartburn. So I have had to stop taking them altogether. So I can’t say if they worked or not. Figured I would write this because others may be having heartburn from taking this and not realize it is this. Not saying it is bad. I seem to have an issue with this chemical from any source.

Mellow out America
Our order came a bit late but met all our expectations. What the hell, we need to mellow out. If things don’t get here by yesterday we get all bent. America needs to wake up. If we complain about a couple of days late on a package, things are too good. Sorry! Oh ya, the products are great!

Excited to find in quality capsule form
Learned about this from a Japanese aging researcher. Fountain of youth for your mitochondria they say. Lengthens life in research studies but most importantly, it increases stamina and health during aging so you age with less debility! Here’s hoping it works! Check back with me in a few of decades

My skin felt softer within days and I experienced unexpected increase in staying power.
I liked the research on this product and I was not disapointed after using it. The order arrived on time and in excellent condition. I would use this seller again. A good anti aging product.

Prop 65 lead warning
Very disappointed that the label photo on the product listing didn’t show that there’s a prop 65 lead warning. I’ve bought hundreds of supplements over the years from various companies and have never seen this on a supplement label so I contacted the company directly and the rep I spoke with clarified it means the amount of lead in this product exceeds what is acceptable in California, which has stricter standards than the federal limit. If this was a common thing to see on supplement labels I might not feel bad about taking it but because I’ve never seen it before I’m not taking this product. They need to update their label pictures on here.

Bladder problems no more
Like the decrease in the number of times I need to run to the bathroom.
