Recommended Usage: As a dietary supplement take 1 level scoop (10.85g) mixed into water or your favorite beverage twice daily on an empty stomach. Take first dose in the morning and second dose one hour prior to workout. If workout is in the morning then take second dose ½ hour prior to lunch. To maximize results, drink at least 64 oz of water daily while using AKG-Stack.
Hypoallergenic: contains no yeast, dairy, egg, gluten, corn, soy, wheat, sugar, starch, salt, preservatives, or artificial color, flavor or fragrance.
For best results with AKG-STACK: Drink at least 64 oz of water daily with AKG Stack and don’t let your carbohydrate intake fall below 40% of your total daily caloric intake. Don’t eat for at least 30 minutes before or after taking AKG-STACK. Not recommended for continuous, high-level use for more than 90 days. Don’t take products that contain ephedrine while using Arginine Alpha-ketoglutarate (AAKG is in this product) as they may act as a vasoconstrictor reducing AAKG effects.
Warning: Do not use if you are pregnant or nursing or if you are at risk or are being treated for high blood pressure, liver, thyroid, psychiatric disease, diabetes or hypoglycemia. Do not use if you have had a myocardial infraction (heart attack). People with known medical conditions and/or taking drugs should consult with a licensed physician and/or pharmacist prior to taking dietary supplements.
Active Ingredient #1 - Arginine Alpha-ketoglutarate:
Nitric Oxide Performance Enhancing Hemodilator: AAKG promotes increased nitric oxide (NO) production for enhanced blood flow and better delivery of oxygen and nutrients to working muscle. AAKG increases the volume of blood to flow through muscle tissue (hemodilation) which leads to increased oxygen and nutrient delivery, glucose uptake, muscle velocity and power output. AAKG helps amplify muscle-growth signals giving faster gains in lean mass and accelerates both fast and slow twitch muscle fiber for greater strength, improved muscle recovery, and increased endurance. The increased blood flow may also contribute to enhanced sexual performance. In addition, L-Arginine stimulates the production of human growth hormone (HGH), a chemical produced by the body that promotes growth and plays an essential role in metabolism. HGH is popular among athletes because it's believed to play a part in building lean muscle mass and increasing strength. Used in conjunction with your exercise program, AAKG may support myodilation, the expansion of muscle tissue.
AAKG contains 100% L-Arginine-alpha-ketoglutarate in its purest form to give you perpetual pumps and rock hard muscles.
Active Ingredient #2 - Ornithine Alpha-ketoglutarate:
Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate, also known as OKG, is an advanced anabolic and anti-catabolic amino acid supplement designed for serious strength athletes. Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (OKG) 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 muscle mass and recovery. NutraBio.com OKG comes in a pure powder form with absolutely no additives or fillers, just pure active OKG.
OKG increases tissue levels of glutamine and arginine, which increase growth hormone levels and are regulators of 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 pro-anabolic and anti-catabolic effects improve the performance of athletes by speeding muscle recovery time while boosting protein synthesis.
Active Ingredient #3 - Glutamine Alpha-ketoglutarate:
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body. It plays a crucial role in cell volumizing and has powerful anabolic and anti-catabolic effects, promoting protein synthesis while inhibiting protein breakdown. Loading with glutamine may even increase the secretion of growth hormone. Studies show that supplementing with as little as two grams of free-form L-glutamine may boost your growth hormone levels by as much as 400%. AKG-STACK contains glutamine alpha-ketoglutarate, a glutamine precursor that efficiently bypasses the gut and has the ability to enter the muscle cell for superior absorption and cell volumization. Alpha-ketoglutarate is is transport molecule that increases absorption rate and bioavailability over regular glutamine. Glutamine is high in demand throughout the body and is used in the gut and immune system extensively to maintain optimal performance. Studies show that training over an extended period of time, rapidly depletes both muscle and blood glutamine levels. What's worse, during periods of stress, glutamine is further depleted, and if not reversed, glutamine is pulled directly from the muscle. For strength athletes and bodybuilders, glutamine is extremely important. When supplemented, it may help body builders reduce the amount of muscle deterioration that occurs because other tissues that need glutamine will not rob the glutamine stored in the muscle cells.
Glutamine boosts growth hormone and reduces muscle deterioration.
Active Ingredient #4 - Creatine Alpha-ketoglutarate:
Creatine is the most popular and effective bodybuilding supplement on the market today because of its ability to give fast gains in muscle size and strength. AKG-STACK use ultra-micronized Creatine Alpha-ketoglutarate to make it more bio-available and to prevent bloating and stomach cramping. Creatine-Alpha-Ketoglutarate consists of one molecule of alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) chemically bonded to two molecules of creatine. AKG aids in absorption and uptake creatine and is a precursor to glutamine, an essential amino acid required for muscle growth.
Creatine-AKG is absorbed by the intestines, which eliminates the possibility of gastrointestinal problems associated with other forms of creatine, such as creatine monohydrate. It also does not need the help of a creatine transporter like sugar to enter cellsbut it taken directly into muscle cells. After the creatine is taken in, the remaining AKG is used as energy for the muscles by being converted into creatine phosphate. The combination of Creatine Alpha-Ketoglutarate and Glutamine Alpha-Ketoglutarate work synergistically to pull in more water than ever before, creating a phenomenal anabolic environment for muscle growth!
Active Ingredient #5 - L-Taurine:
Taurine (2-Aminoethane sulfonic acid) is a conditionally essential free-form amino acid that is the most abundant free amino acid in many tissues and participates in a variety of metabolic processes. Taurine is found at high levels in the heart and skeletal muscle, white blood cells, the central nervous system, and is a building block for all other amino acids.
Taurine works as an ion and pH buffer in the heart, skeletal muscles and central nervous system and is instrumental in preventing loss of potassium from heart muscle. Taurine aids in the digestion of fat, soluble vitamins, and the management of cholesterol levels and aids electrolyte balance and proper utilization of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Taurine improves cell volumization making muscles appear larger and improves anabolic processes and protein synthesis. Taurine works synergistically with any form of Creatine and helps maintains glucose uptake.
