Ornithine Ketoglutarate
Benefits for Bodybuilding

Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate, a powerful compound & precursor, has beneficial effect on hormones, the immune system, promotes healing in surgical and trauma cases and has anabolic properties.

RECOMMENDED TO ENHANCE STRUCTURE & FUNCTION RELATING TO NUTRITIONAL NEEDS AND DEFICIENCIES PERTAINING TO:

Glutamine production, since OKG is a precursor for, and regulator of this amino acid.

Protein synthesis, especially for Arginine, Proline and Polyamines.

Metabolic reaction to trauma, since OKG helps counteract its effects.

Increasing nitrogen and nitrogen balance, which is especially necessary for burn patients and those with low nitrogen levels.

Stimulating the immune system.

Beneficial metabolic properties for wound and post surgical healing.

Anabolic effects on muscle catabolism.

Athletes who require anabolic results.

Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate when combined has a greater anabolic effect than when the individual properties are given separately. It is the precursor to Glutamine (the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue), increases Arginine in muscles, and is involved in the production of the branched chain amino acids as well. OKG has an effect on anabolic hormones, such as insulin and human growth hormone and dramatically increases the blood levels of human growth factor-1. It can also help with ammonia detoxification. High ammonia levels are prevalent in body builders and other athletes. There also appears to be a connection between the Polyamine biosynthesis pathway and the anabolic effects of the Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate.

OKG (a salt formed from one molecule of a-Ketoglutarate (a-KG) and two molecules of Ornithine) is a metabolic regulator and precursor for Glutamine and Arginine. Glutamine availability promotes protein synthesis in skeletal muscle. There is a correlation of low Glutamine levels with a reduction of protein synthesis, and increasing protein degradation. OKG is also a precursor for other amino acids and keto acids, which are important for protein synthesis, such as Proline and a-Ketoisocaporate. Ornithine-a-Ketoglutarate has a secretalogical effect on hormones such as insulin and human growth hormone, and has an anabolic effect on muscles.
