This powder from German Elite Nutrition contains only L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate in a 2:1 ratio. Per 6-gram serving, you get 6000 mg of AAKG. A 500-gram bag contains about 83 servings, so it will last you a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat AAKG is\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAAKG stands for Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate: the amino acid L-arginine bonded to alpha-ketoglutarate, an intermediate product of metabolism. In the 2:1 ratio, there are two parts arginine to one part alpha-ketoglutarate, allowing you to absorb a relatively large amount of arginine per gram of powder. L-arginine is an amino acid that your body uses, among other things, in the production of nitric oxide, a small signaling molecule that plays a role in the caliber of your blood vessels and thus in circulation. This is also why arginine and AAKG are often associated in the fitness world with the concept of \"pump.\" For L-arginine and alpha-ketoglutarate, there are currently no approved European health claims, so we describe these substances here only as components and explain what they are. AAKG is one of the well-known raw materials in pre-workout and sports nutrition, long used by bodybuilders and strength athletes and now also by endurance athletes. This AAKG powder is part of the same series of isolated raw materials. You find it in powders, capsules, and liquid shots, but the core always remains the same substance: arginine bonded to alpha-ketoglutarate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy athletes choose the 2:1 form\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2:1 ratio provides more arginine per serving than a 1:1 blend, while alpha-ketoglutarate completes the package. You'll find AAKG as a fixed ingredient in countless pre-workout boosters, but bulk powder gives you more control. Since this powder is tasteless, you can easily mix it into water, juice, or your existing pre-workout shake without changing the taste. This makes AAKG powder popular with people who stack their supplements. Many athletes wonder how much to take per serving. In practice, it's often about 6 grams before training, precisely one serving of this powder. Some compare AAKG to citrulline, another popular pump ingredient. Both revolve around the arginine pathway in the body, but they are different substances. With bulk AAKG powder, you deliberately opt for the arginine aspect and determine the added amount yourself. The fact that you control the dosage yourself is precisely why many experienced athletes prefer to work with bulk powder rather than a fixed blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDose yourself and combine freely\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe big advantage of powder over capsules is that you completely determine the dosage yourself. Do you want half a serving on a quiet day, or do you want to combine AAKG with, for example, citrulline, taurine, or beta-alanine in your own pre-workout? With the provided scoop, you can easily weigh the amount you need. Mix about 6 grams (two scoops) in 300 ml of water and drink it twenty to thirty minutes before training. Since nothing is added to the powder, you know exactly what you are consuming, and you don't accumulate double additives if you use multiple products at once. For those who like to experiment with their own blend, this is a clear advantage over ready-made boosters. Also practical: since you weigh it yourself, you can slowly increase the dose and see what works for you, instead of being stuck with a fixed dosage per capsule. Take the powder as a supplement to a varied diet, not as a replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePure, vegan, and additive-free\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product contains only L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate, without fillers, flavorings, or other unnecessary additives. This makes it suitable for athletes with specific dietary needs, as well as vegans and vegetarians. The powder is also gluten-free and lactose-free. Store it dry and tightly closed, so the powder remains loose and easy to dose and does not clump. Since it contains no sugars or flavorings, the taste of your shake is entirely up to you. In short, this is AAKG powder with 6000 mg per serving, tasteless and self-dosable, in a 500-gram bag with about 83 servings. A direct choice for those who prefer to build their own pre-workout rather than grab a ready-made box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis way, you keep your pre-workout in your own hands. A pure and vegan AAKG powder source without ballast, with which you add exactly as much arginine as you want.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49386100064484,"sku":"gen-020","price":27.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/AAKGPoederGEN.jpg?v=1783854593","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.fr\/en\/products\/gen-aakg-2-1-poudre-500g","provider":"LUTO Supplements France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
