FAQs
What is AAKG?
AAKG stands for Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate. It is a compound formed by bonding the amino acid L-arginine with alpha-ketoglutarate. Arginine is a precursor involved in various bodily functions, including protein synthesis and nitric oxide production.
What is the difference between L-arginine and AAKG?
L-arginine is a standalone amino acid. AAKG is a compound where L-arginine is bonded to alpha-ketoglutarate. This combination is often used in supplements with the aim of improving the absorption and effectiveness of arginine.
How should I take MyProtein AAKG Powder?
Typically, it is recommended to mix one serving with water or your preferred beverage 30-60 minutes before a workout. Always refer to the specific dosage instructions on the product packaging.
Can I mix AAKG with other supplements?
Yes, the unflavoured powder can generally be mixed with other supplements like protein powders or creatine. However, always check the recommended usage for each supplement.
What is the 2:1 ratio mentioned?
The 2:1 ratio indicates that the product is formulated using two molecules of arginine for every one molecule of alpha-ketoglutarate.
Is this product suitable for vegetarians/vegans?
The product description does not specify its suitability for vegetarians or vegans. Please check the product packaging or Myprotein's official website for detailed ingredient and dietary information.
