Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (OKG 2:1)

99.98% pure pharmaceutical grade for maximum bioavailability.

Ornithine alpha hetoglutarate (OKG) improves the performance of athletes by speeding muscle recovery time while boosting protein synthesis. Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate, is an advanced anabolic and anti-catabolic amino acid supplement designed for serious strength athletes. Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate consists of the amino acid ornithine bonded to alpha-ketoglutarate molecules. Research has shown that supplementation of OKG assists with increased protein synthesis, decreased protein catabolism, improvements in insulin and somatropin secretion and increased uptake of amino acids and glucose to the muscles. OKG's anabolic potential makes it a must for all athletes desiring to improve muscle mass and recovery. NutraBio.com OKG comes in a pure powder or capsule form with absolutely no additives or fillers, just pure active OKG.

This product is Kosher in powder form only.

Ornithine Alpha Ketoglutarate's pro-anabolic and anti-catabolic effects improve the performance of athletes by speeding muscle recovery time while boosting protein synthesis:

• Boost Protein Synthesis.
• Improves Pro-Anabolic Potential.
• Works as a Vitamin & Mineral Co-factor.
• Decreases Protein Catabolism.

OKG increases tissue levels of glutamine and arginine, which increase growth hormone levels and protein synthesis. Studies show that OKG generates more glutamine and arginine in the systemic circulation than when these substances are given separately. OKG is a salt formed by combining two molecules of the amino acid ornithine and one molecule of alpha-ketoglutarate. Because OKG seems to be involved in amino acid synthesis and protein availability, many athletes supplement with OKG as a way to increase muscle mass, hormone levels and strength.

Taking OKG decreases muscle protein catabolism (breakdown) and increases protein synthesis, in addition to promoting wound healing. OKG fulfills these functions by encouraging the secretion of insulin and human growth hormone, and by up regulating glutamine and arginine production. When given to trauma patients, there are significant increases in both IGF-1 and growth hormone levels.

OKG is a potent anabolic muscle building food: OKG increases energy, endurance and muscle mass while inhibiting muscle breakdown, fatigue, and the build up of fat. OKG also has the ability to speed up recovery time which is why it has become a popular choice among many athletes. Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) is a combination of the amino acid L-Ornithine, used by athletes to improve performance, and alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG). AKG is a precursor to the amino acid glutamine and it also plays an important role in the physiological process known as the Krebs cycle which responsible for breaking down carbohydrates in your body to produce energy.

L-Ornithine and alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) work synergistically in Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) to induce favorable conditions for any exercise and training regimen by regulating glutamine levels. L-Glutamine is an essential source of cellular fuel, which helps drive metabolic processes.

Normally your body is forced to break down muscle in order to do this, but the alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) component of ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) curbs this breakdown of muscle by combining with ammonia, a toxic by-product that accumulates during intense workouts, to restore glutamine and energy levels back to normal. This prevents the attack on lean muscle mass and the accumulation of ammonia, which is highly toxic and can cause impaired cognition. By encouraging the excretion of ammonia (released during exercise), Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) also prevents the build up of lactic acid - known to accumulate with ammonia - which causes muscle fatigue, soreness and poor stamina.

Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) also stimulates the growth-promoting action of insulin, which encourages muscle growth and increases strength. It provides the amino acid arginine which stimulates your pituitary gland to release Growth Hormone (GH). This hormone boosts body fat metabolism and protects your muscle tissue from being broken down for energy, resulting in a leaner appearance.

We guarantee our supplements to be the freshest and purest: Our powders and capsules contain only pure active ingredient with absolutely no additives. Other manufacturers, in an effort to keep costs down, dilute their products with cheap fillers and add chemical excipients to their products to speed up their manufacturing output. These practices cheat you out of the active ingredient. At NutraBio, we've perfected our manufacturing technology so that excipients aren't needed, that means no microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, silica or other fillers, just 100% pure active ingredient. NutraBio supplements are manufactured under the strictest standards producing the highest quality and purest supplements available anywhere. Our raw ingredients undergo state of the art HPLC analysis to insure zero tolerance for impurities.

Truthful and Clear Supplement Facts Panels - No BS Proprietary Blends:

A proprietary blend is a cheap gimmick used by manufacturers to hide the real truth about what's in their product. By listing a bunch of ingredients under one blend on the label, the manufacturer only has to tell you how much of the blend is in a serving while hiding how much of each ingredient is in a serving. They pretend to this to protect their secret formula, that’s bull, they do it so they can cheapen their product without their customers knowing. In the industry we call this “Window Dressing” the product the label looks good on the outside but there is nothing really happening on the inside. At NutraBio our Supplement Facts panels list the exact amount of each and every active ingredient in the supplement. No guessing, you know exactly what you are getting in every product we sell.

Purchase manufacturer direct at wholesale price:

Buy directly from the manufacturer and save. We cut out the middlemen and pass the savings on to you. With NutraBio, you pay the same low wholesale price that the chain stores pay.
