Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate
Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG)
Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) is a supplement that has been around for awhile. It is being studied for its many virtues including maintaining muscle mass , but that was not always the case.
OKG is an ionic salt made up of one molecule ornithine and two molecules of alpha-ketoglutarate. OKG has been reported to speed up healing time among burn patients and those with severe wounds, such as post-operative patients. Other studies have examined its role in cancer, gut health, chronic malnourishment among the elderly, childrens’ growth in disease states and those with a compromised immune system. It has also been examined among healthy individuals who want to maintain or increase muscle mass.
OKG has been taken in levels of 10g per day for as long as six weeks without reported side effects. The only side effect that has been reported is diarrhea in dosages above 15g per day.3 OKG has not been reported in scientific literature to negatively interact with other nutritional supplements or medications. It has been reported as a popular amino acid supplement among healthy individuals taken in recommended amounts without side effects.
OKG has had a wonderful journey through science and seems to be a great addition among healthy individuals who want to maintain muscle mass and/or to increase muscle mass; and among those who are challenged with clinical conditions involving muscle breakdown. Research has shown that in these individuals, OKG helps to lower protein breakdown in muscles, maintain protein production and keep nitrogen in balance. These functions are what help maintain muscle mass and keep muscles strong. Of course, other studies are needed to help uncover additional benefits of OKG. So whether you are young or old, challenged with clinical conditions or a little concerned about Sarcopenia, OKG can be an amazing addition to your supplement regimen.
