Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate (AAKG) is the primary ingredient in most pre-workout, cell volumising supplements. It's an amino acid compound that's been shown to help increase muscular 'pump' and vascularity as well as the delivery of blood, oxygen and nutrients to the working muscles during exercise.
Looking more specifically at the profile of Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AAKG), it is a conditionally essential amino acid that plays a number of vital roles in human biochemistry. In particular, it has an important role to play in protein synthesis, the process by which the muscles use protein to repair and regrow bigger.
The addition of the -Ketoglutarate compound helps improve the delivery of L Arginine in metabolic pathways. In simple terms, this helps the L Arginine to work more effectively within the body which is designed to assist you in achieving superior results.
Although Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AAKG) has been historically used by strength athletes and bodybuilders looking to increase muscle size and nutrient uptake, it's more recently been used by endurance athletes too. This is because AAKG is known as a vasodilator, which means it widens the blood vessels within the body, and it's theorised by experts that this vasodilation could allow more oxygen, blood and nutrients to be delivered to the muscles, therefore improve an athlete's aerobic fitness.

L-arginine is found in a variety of foods and is also manufactured within the bodies of adult humans. Preterm babies cannot yet produce it; making it "conditionally" essential for humans.
The L-form of arginine is directly associated with the synthesis of nitric oxide, a substance known for its vasodilation capacity. Because of this, AAKG supplements are popular with weightlifters, bodybuilders and other athletes that demand enhanced performance.
