What is Ornithine Alpha Ketoglutarate?
Ornithine Alpha Ketoglutarate (OKG) is formulated from two amino acids, ornithine and glutamine. These two amino acids are considered “conditionally essential”, which means under conditions of severe stress, the body requires them from a dietary source or supplementation. OKG stimulates the growth promoting action of insulin, thereby promoting muscle growth and increasing strength. It provides L-Arginine, which stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone. OKG also prevents the buildup of lactic acid, reducing muscle fatigue, soreness and poor performance. It inhibits muscle breakdown while increasing energy, endurance and muscle mass and speeding up recovery time. What are the benefits of Ornithine Alpha Ketoglutarate? • Improves athletic performance • Helps heal wounds • Boosts the immune sysytem • Stimulates new muscle growth • Has anabolic effects • Increases endurance • Increases energy • Inhibits muscle breakdown • Speeds muscle recovery time • Regulates L-glutamine l
