Product Description
Calcium 2-oxoglutarate (AKG) is an intermediate metabolite of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, participating in the synthesis of amino acids, vitamins, and organic acids, as well as energy metabolism. It can be used as a dietary supplement with broad application prospects. Beyond its biological functions in the human body, calcium 2-oxoglutarate is widely applied in the medical field, becoming a crucial component of many health products and medical treatments.
Firstly, calcium 2-oxoglutarate plays a significant role in energy metabolism. As an intermediate product of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle), it participates in the process of energy production within cells. Through the TCA cycle, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are oxidized and decomposed to generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate), providing energy for cells. As a key intermediate of the TCA cycle, calcium 2-oxoglutarate promotes cellular energy metabolism, enhances the body's energy levels, helps improve physical strength and endurance, and alleviates feelings of fatigue.
Secondly, calcium 2-oxoglutarate has a crucial role in amino acid metabolism. Amino acids are the basic units that make up proteins, and calcium 2-oxoglutarate participates in their conversion and metabolic processes. During the transformation of amino acids into other metabolic products, calcium 2-oxoglutarate undergoes transamination with amino acids to produce new amino acids or α-keto acids, thereby regulating the balance and utilization of amino acids. Additionally, calcium 2-oxoglutarate can serve as a substrate for amino acid oxidation, participating in the oxidative metabolism of amino acids to produce energy and carbon dioxide. Therefore, calcium 2-oxoglutarate is important for maintaining amino acid homeostasis and protein metabolism in the body.
Furthermore, as an antioxidant, calcium 2-oxoglutarate can eliminate free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage. It also regulates the function of the immune system, promoting the activation and proliferation of immune cells, and enhancing the body's resistance to diseases and infections. Thus, calcium 2-oxoglutarate is significant in maintaining immune balance and resisting diseases in the body.
