AKG is a TCA cycle intermediate that declines with age. Supplementation reduces inflammatory cytokines, improves stem cell function, and extends healthspan in mice. Calcium salt form provides sustained release. Also supports collagen synthesis and reduces frailty markers.
Phospholipid concentrated in brain cell membranes. Supports neurotransmitter production (acetylcholine, dopamine), cortisol regulation, and membrane fluidity. Improves cognitive function, reduces exercise-induced cortisol, and supports HPA axis recovery.
