Premium Calcium AKG (Calcium-Alpha-Ketoglutarate) is a particular form of mineral calcium that is involved in the epigenetic modulation, collagen synthesis, metabolism, mitochondrial energy production, and cellular aging. The substance that our bodies produce naturally begin to decline with age, just like many other important health indicators. One study found at the age of 80 our levels can be 10 times lower than they are at age 40.
Ca-AKG plays a key role in the body by activating AMPK signaling and inhibiting the mTOR pathway. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) are two of the principal pathways that affect aging and lifespan.
One explanation for the longevity effect is that Ca-AKG affects epigenetic processes. The complex molecular system that surrounds the DNA and controls when genes are turned “on” or “off” is known as the epigenome. These chemical modifications regulate gene expression while it does not change the DNA itself. The epigenome becomes progressively dysregulated as we age, which means that some genes that ought to be silent are turned “on”, while others that need to be active, like cancer protective genes, are turned “off”.
With time this dysregulation results in an ever increasing accumulation of epigenetic errors, which we can see as methylation of our epigenome. In recent years scientists have developed biological clocks, such as the Horvath clock, which can measure the aging of our bodies much more exactly than the chronological age. Calcium-alpha-ketoglutarate helps by modulating the methylation of the epigenome.
The metabolism of amino acids and carbohydrates is also connected to the supplement. Our cells’ ability to switch between using amino acids and carbohydrates to make energy decreases as we age. However, Ca-AKG can support cells’ continued maintenance of this metabolic adaptability. Moreover, it functions as an energy source for the cellular mitochondria and enhances mitochondrial health. This is why the compound is popular among athletes and bodybuilders that strive to increase energy and endurance.
Function
People take premium calcium AKG for a variety of reasons.
- Healthspan. Several studies find animals have longer lifespans and healthspans when given Ca-AKG. For instance, in a study of mice it enhanced healthspan by 41% and lifespan by 12%.
- Cellular Energy. The power generators of our cells, the mitochondria, use alpha-ketoglutarate as fuel and the health of the mitochondria is improved by the substance.
- Epigenome. Our epigenome benefits as Ca-AKG can help to control which genes in the epigenome are activated or deactivated.
- Weight. It assist in maintaining weight and in altering our unhealthy white fats into brown fats.
- Anti-Inflammatory. Calcium Alpha-Ketoglutarate decreases levels of inflammatory cytokines and reducing the inflammation caused by senescent cells
Suggested use
The suggested dose is 800 – 1200 mg daily. This corresponds to 2–3 scoops.
