The “core component” of the cellular energy factory AKG (Alpha-Ketoglutarate) is a key intermediate metabolite in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle), also known as the Krebs cycle. Simply put, it is an essential “hub molecule” in the process by which cells convert food into energy. If we compare a cell to a 24-hour power plant, then AKG is the central transformer that connects the boiler (mitochondria) to the power grid (ATP, the energy currency). Without it, energy production would come to a halt. **The three main functions of AKG from Jingjing Pharmaceutical:** 1. **Addressing signs of aging:** AKG intervenes at the cellular level through scientific principles to combat aging-related issues. 2. **Boosting energy and reducing fatigue:** It ensures adequate “power supply” to cells, leading to increased energy levels and reduced fatigue. 3. **Rejuvenating the cellular energy engine:** As the core fuel of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, AKG enhances mitochondrial function, efficiently producing energy (ATP) for all cells in the body, thereby improving overall energy levels. **How AKG works:** - **Slow metabolism and delayed recovery:** AKG regulates cellular “scheduling” processes, improving the efficiency of energy metabolism. - **The “central processor” of energy metabolism:** It acts as a crossroads for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It is not only crucial for ATP production but also involved in amino acid synthesis (especially glutamate and glutamine), affecting the overall nitrogen metabolism in the body. - **Supporting collagen synthesis:** As an essential cofactor in collagen synthesis, AKG promotes the healthy production and maintenance of collagen in the skin, bones, and blood vessels, strengthening the body’s structural foundation. **Additional benefits of AKG:** - AKG is a necessary cofactor for various epigenetic modification enzymes, such as TET DNA demethylases and JmjC histone demethylases. This means it can directly influence which genes are activated or deactivated, including those related to longevity and anti-aging pathways. **Jingjing Pharmaceutical’s AKG product:** Produced using the “bio-enzyme fermentation method,” Jingjing Pharmaceutical’s AKG has higher bioactivity and is safer to use.
