Arginine AAKG 90 capsules

AAKG (arginine alpha-ketoglutarate) is a compound of the amino acid L-arginine and alpha-ketoglutarate, used in sports nutrition primarily as a pre-workout supplement. Alpha-ketoglutarate improves the absorption of arginine and extends its release time in the body compared to L-arginine alone. One dose of BodyWorld Arginine AAKG (5 capsules) contains 3500 mg of AAKG, of which 2310 mg is pure L-arginine. The product is suitable for athletes and active individuals looking to supplement their arginine intake as part of their training routine.

The recommended dose is 5 capsules taken with plenty of water about 30–60 minutes before training. The pack contains 90 capsules, which equates to 18 servings, meaning 18 workouts if used daily. There is no need to split the dose throughout the day; the capsules should be taken in one go before physical activity. Precisely following the timing before training helps maximise the effect due to the prolonged release of arginine from the alpha-ketoglutarate.

BodyWorld Arginine AAKG is primarily intended to be taken before training, specifically 30–60 minutes beforehand, with plenty of water. It is not a supplement intended for morning use independent of a workout; its purpose is to support performance and blood flow during physical exertion. The manufacturer does not provide specific recommendations for non-training days, so it is advised to take the product mainly in connection with a planned training session.

The product contains only two components: L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate and a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose capsule. It contains no colourings, fillers, or unnecessary additives. One dose (5 capsules) provides 3500 mg of AAKG, of which 2310 mg is pure L-arginine. This simple and clean formulation is one of the main benefits of the product compared to more complex pre-workout supplements containing many ingredients.

No, the product does not contain any allergens. The composition consists only of L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate and a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose capsule of plant origin. Thanks to its simple composition, free from lactose, gluten, soy, or other common allergens, it is suitable for a wide range of consumers, including those with food intolerances. However, we recommend consulting a doctor regarding any health limitations.

Yes, the product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The capsule is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), which is a plant-based material replacing animal-derived gelatine. The active ingredient itself, L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate, is of synthetic or plant origin and contains no animal components. The product therefore meets the requirements for a plant-based diet without compromising on composition.

AAKG is a compound of L-arginine and alpha-ketoglutarate, which is described as a more advanced form than pure L-arginine. Alpha-ketoglutarate improves the absorption of arginine in the body and extends its release duration, which can lead to more stable arginine levels in the blood compared to arginine alone. In BodyWorld Arginine AAKG, of the total 3500 mg of AAKG, exactly 2310 mg is pure L-arginine, with the remainder being the alpha-ketoglutarate component that ensures better absorption.

The choice depends on user preference – capsules like BodyWorld Arginine AAKG offer simple and accurate dosing without the need for mixing and have no taste, which is an advantage for those who do not like drinking powdered beverages. Powdered forms of AAKG usually absorb faster and can be easier to combine with other pre-workout ingredients in a single drink. Capsules are more practical for travelling and accurate dosing, while powder may be more economical for higher doses.

Yes, AAKG is commonly combined with other pre-workout supplements such as creatine, beta-alanine, or caffeine, because it works via a different mechanism – promoting blood flow through nitric oxide. The product does not contain stimulants or other active substances that would interact with common supplements. When combining multiple products, we recommend tracking your total arginine intake from various sources and, if in doubt, consulting a professional or doctor about the dosage.

L-arginine and AAKG are generally considered safe supplements when following the recommended daily dose of 5 capsules. In sensitive individuals, higher doses of arginine may rarely cause digestive discomfort such as bloating or mild gastrointestinal issues. The product does not contain stimulants, so it does not cause the typical side effects associated with caffeinated pre-workout supplements. People with low blood pressure or those taking blood pressure medication should consult a doctor before use due to the vasodilatory effect of arginine.

The product is particularly suitable for athletes and active individuals who want to supplement their L-arginine intake as part of their pre-workout routine. Due to its simple composition, lack of allergens, and plant-based capsule, it is also suitable for vegans and individuals with food intolerances. It is not intended for children, pregnant women, or breastfeeding women without medical advice. Individuals with cardiovascular conditions or those taking blood pressure medication should consult a doctor before use due to the effects of arginine on blood circulation.
