What the brand says

Founded by an internationally recognized team of scientists and clinical researchers from leading research institutions, our mission is to slow down the ageing process and reduce age-related diseases. We developed our cutting-edge nutritional supplements through evidence-based research. Alpha Ketoglutarate (AKG) is a ketone derivative of glutaric acid which is found naturally in the human body. It is not to be confused with AAKG which is a combination of Arginine and Alpha-Ketoglutarate. AKG is a precursor for Arginine and Nitric Oxide and has been the subject of a number of aging studies and may be more effective than AAKG. It has a number of functions in the body including acting as an intermediate step in the Krebs cycle, helping to form amino acids, transporting nitrogen, and acting as an antioxidant. While AKG plays many roles in the body, it is commonly used as a supplement to support healthy aging. This function has been demonstrated through multiple animal studies, including by our own scientific founders at UCLA. MyLife Therapeutics’ AKG is Manufactured in the USA, is non-GMO and is Gluten Free. It contains 60 capsules and each serving is two 500mg capsules (1,000mg). It is recommended to take 2 capsules daily in the morning with meals or as directed by a healthcare professional.
