AKG is a TCA cycle intermediate and longevity compound. Ca-AKG extended mouse lifespan by 12% and reduced frailty (Ames 2021). AKG levels decline 10x from age 40 to 60 in humans. Also enhances collagen synthesis (proline precursor), improves exercise performance (TCA cycle fuel), and may lower biological age (TruAge epigenetic clock reduction in human pilot). Dose: 1-2g/day calcium-AKG. --- *Reviewed by the Dose AI Research Team and Clinical Advisory Board* *Last updated: 2026-04-06*
