Akg Alpha Ketoglutarate (α-KG) is a naturally occurring intermediate of the Krebs cycle, a key metabolic pathway in cells. It is typically obtained through fermentation or chemical synthesis and supplied as a high-purity, water-soluble powder. In the body, α-KG acts as a core molecule connecting energy production, amino acid metabolism, and nitrogen balance. Its biochemical functions enable it to participate in oxidative energy supply, promote protein and amino acid synthesis, and help maintain cellular homeostasis.
Due to its stability and solubility, Akg Alpha Ketoglutarate can be easily added to various matrices without affecting product quality, making it suitable for dietary supplements, functional foods, and nutraceuticals. For international B2B buyers, alpha-ketoglutarate is a reliable, scientifically backed raw material with consistent quality, traceable sourcing, and broad applications in the health, nutrition, and functional food industries.
