AAKG – AN AMINO ACID FOR MEN!
For the first time on the market, the top quality AAKG in an staggeringly high, unprecedented dose of 1250 mg in one capsule of Mega Caps®/Mega Capsules®.
AAKG Extreme in form of a well-assimilable arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (AAKG) supplements the diet with L-arginine.
Arginine is a food ingredient from which many important biologically-active substances in the body are made, e.g. nitric oxide (NO). Moreover, arginine acts as a provider of the formamidine group in the biosynthesis of creatine.
