What is Ca-Akg ? Ca-AKG is the abbreviation of Calcium Alpha-Ketoglutarate (C5H4CaO5-H2O). It is a special form mineral calcium that can be used to bring the calcium concentration in the blood back to a normal level. Calcium alpha-ketoglutarate binds excess phosphate and disposes it as waste, restoring the normal balance of calcium and phosphate in the body. Ca-AKG has been proven to increase lifespan and health span (healthy age-ing without symptoms). AKG is a key metabolite in the KREBS (energy) cycle and plays a role in metabolism, stem cell growth, collagen synthesis and epigenetic regulation. As with many other important health traits, AKG levels decline with age. It has been proven that your AKG levels at 80 are only 10% of when you were 40! AKG cannot be increased through your diet.

Calcium alpha-ketoglutarate extends lifespan and compresses morbidity in aging mice As we age, our metabolism—all the chemical reactions that keep our bodies alive—doesn't work as well as when we were younger. Our bodies don't get nutrients from food and don't convert them as efficiently into energy and the building blocks of our cells. As we age, the levels of many compounds in our bodies also change, such as those for alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG). This important metabolite has been reported to extend the lifespan of both worms and flies and acts as an antioxidant in mammalian cells. But its role in aging and longevity in mice, let alone humans, is relatively unknown. Shahmirzadi and colleagues report that a diet supplemented with Ca-AKG extends the lifespan of middle-aged female mice and improves health in both sexes. With the simultaneous reduction in frailty and an increase in longevity and reduced morbidity. Calcium alpha-ketoglutarate exerts these effects in part by s
