04Product Process & Advantages

Natural Botanical Origin

Precise 2:1 Salt Form & Stable Dihydrate:Strict 2:1 molar ratio of L-Arginine to AKG, stabilized as dihydrate. Low moisture absorption, high stability, long shelf life.

Synergistic Dual Action:

L-Arginine

NO precursor → vasodilation, enhanced blood flow, nutrient delivery to muscles, immune & male health support.

Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG)

TCA cycle substrate → boosts mitochondrial energy, improves nitrogen utilization, reduces urea waste, supports muscle protein synthesis.

High Purity & Safety:≥98% purity with strict heavy metal and microbial control. Manufactured under cGMP, compliant with USP/FCC standards. Full CoA, MSDS, and TSE/BSE declarations available.

Excellent Formulation Compatibility:Good water solubility and flowability. Ideal for:

Sports nutrition

powders, shakes, energy drinks, capsules, tablets

Clinical nutrition

post-surgical recovery, elderly nutrition, nitrogen balance formulas

Male health, cardiovascular support, longevity nutrition blends

05Product Functions & Mechanisms

Vasodilation & Endurance Enhancement (NO Pathway)

Arginine → NO → vasodilation → increased muscle perfusion, oxygen/nutrient delivery, delayed fatigue, improved endurance.

Muscle Synthesis & Faster Recovery (Nitrogen Metabolism)

AKG optimizes arginine metabolism, reduces nitrogen loss, boosts nitrogen utilization, promotes muscle protein synthesis, minimizes muscle breakdown, accelerates recovery, supports lean mass gain.

Mitochondrial Energy Support & Anti-Fatigue

AKG directly fuels the TCA cycle, improves ATP production efficiency, reduces lactic acid buildup, enhances high-intensity performance.

Post-Surgical & Elderly Nutrition (Muscle Maintenance)

Optimizes nitrogen balance, prevents muscle loss, supports immunity and tissue repair; suitable for post-surgical recovery and sarcopenia prevention in aging populations.

Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health

Supports endothelial function, maintains healthy blood pressure, improves microcirculation; ideal for metabolic health and longevity nutrition formulations.
