Do you prefer capsules over weighing out powder? AAKG capsules give you a fixed dosage without a shaker or scoop. AAKG Ultra Caps from German Elite Nutrition provide 1150 mg of L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate per capsule, in a 2:1 ratio. A tub contains 365 capsules, so one pack will last you a long time.
AAKG stands for arginine alpha-ketoglutarate: the amino acid L-arginine bound to alpha-ketoglutarate, an intermediate product of metabolism. In the 2:1 ratio, two parts arginine face one part alpha-ketoglutarate, which gives you a relatively large amount of arginine per capsule. L-arginine is an amino acid that your body uses particularly in the production of nitric oxide, a small signaling molecule that plays a role in blood vessel width and circulation. In fitness circles, AAKG is therefore often associated with the pump during training, that feeling of fuller muscles when blood flows well. Whether you notice it varies from person to person. For L-arginine and alpha-ketoglutarate, there are currently no authorized European health claims, so we only describe the substances here as components and explain what they are. AAKG is one of the well-known raw materials in pre-workout formulas and sports nutrition, widely used by strength athletes and fitness enthusiasts. It is found in powders and boosters, and therefore also in the form of AAKG capsules like these Ultra Caps.
Powder gives you dosing freedom, but capsules are significantly more convenient. You don't have to weigh or prepare anything, and you don't taste the rather acidic taste of pure AAKG powder. On the go, at work, or in your gym bag: a tub of capsules slips in easily, whereas with powder you always need to have a shaker and water at hand. Each capsule contains a fixed dose of 1150 mg, so you know exactly how much you're getting without dosing or estimating. Many athletes take AAKG around training. With these AAKG capsules, you simply count the number you want and swallow them with water. For those who like to keep their routine simple, this is a pleasant way to use AAKG without complications. Hesitating between powder and capsules? Choose powder if you want to dose and mix yourself, and capsules if convenience and portability are more important to you.
With 1150 mg per capsule, you are at the high end compared to many AAKG capsules that provide 500 to 1000 mg. If you take four capsules, you get 4600 mg of AAKG. You can spread them throughout the day or take them together before training, depending on what suits your schedule. Since the content per capsule is high, you swallow less for the same amount of active substance. Convenient, because nobody likes to swallow handfuls of capsules a day. The 2:1 formula also provides more arginine than a standard 1:1 mix, which particularly appeals to experienced athletes who consciously build their intake. If you are new to AAKG, stick to a lower amount and observe how you react before moving to the full daily dose. This allows your body to gradually get used to the supplement and you don't suddenly reach a high intake.
German Elite Nutrition deliberately chooses a pure composition without magnesium stearate, colorings, or other superfluous excipients. The capsule contains only L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate, with the capsule shell. This gives you the active substance you are looking for and not a handful of excipients that you don't really need. Keep the tub dry and well-sealed, and the capsules will remain in good condition. In summary, these are highly dosed AAKG capsules with 1150 mg per unit, 365 capsules per tub, for athletes who prefer to swallow their arginine rather than drink it. Take them as a supplement to a varied diet and do not exceed the recommended dose. This maintains a simple and fixed way to integrate AAKG into your routine. A tub of 365 units lasts well over three months at four a day, so you don't need to reorder often. For athletes who don't want to weigh powder, these capsules are a simple alternative that you can take anywhere. Many users combine AAKG with other isolated sports supplements like creatine or citrulline, each in its own dosage alongside. As the capsules contain no taste or sweetener, they are easy to take alongside a pre-workout or protein shake without clashing flavors. For those who eat vegan, this product is less suitable, as the capsule shell is made of gelatin; in this case, choose the powder form.
A high dosage per capsule, whereas many AAKG capsules are between 500 and 1000 mg. Four capsules provide 4600 mg of L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate.
Two parts arginine to one part alpha-ketoglutarate, so relatively a lot of arginine per capsule compared to a 1:1 mixture.
Fixed-dose capsules, without the rather acidic taste of pure AAKG powder. Convenient for on-the-go and in your gym bag.
A jar of 365 capsules, without magnesium stearate or colorants. Only L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate and the capsule shell.

AAKG (L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate) is the amino acid L-arginine bonded to alpha-ketoglutarate, in a 2:1 ratio. It is a well-known raw material in sports nutrition.
The daily dose is four capsules, which is 4600 mg of AAKG. You can spread them throughout the day or take them all together before your workout with plenty of water.
Capsules have a fixed dosage, so you don't have to weigh or prepare anything. Plus, you avoid the acidic taste of pure AAKG powder.
This is a high dosage per capsule, so you take fewer capsules for the same amount of AAKG compared to lower-dosed capsules.
No. The capsule shell is made of gelatin, an animal-derived component. The powdered form of AAKG, however, is plant-based, if you are looking for a vegan option.
There is no fixed time. Many athletes take AAKG around their workout. You can also spread the four capsules throughout the day, depending on what suits your routine.
