Message: | Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG)
Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) is a supplement that has been around for awhile. It is being studied for its many virtues including maintaining muscle mass , but that was not always the case.
OKG is an ionic salt made up of one molecule ornithine and two molecules of alpha-ketoglutarate. OKG has been reported to speed up healing time among burn patients and those with severe wounds, such as post-operative patients. Other studies have examined its role in cancer, gut health, chronic malnourishment among the elderly, childrens’ growth in disease states and those with a compromised immune system. It has also been examined among healthy individuals who want to maintain or increase muscle mass. |
