AAKG is an acronym for L-Arginine-alpha-ketoglutarate which is an amino acid that is used to help rid the body of ammonia and other toxins. It is useful for assisting the immune system in boosting its efficacy. It contains cellulose, stearic acid silica and vegetable coating as active ingredients. Sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg, shellfish and preservatives are not included in the ingredients so it is perfect for vegetarian or vegan customers. AAKG is sold often as a dietary supplement that is best used for a temporary boost in overall health and should not be used on a continual, permanent basis.
