Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 PecanbreadAll- I was wondering if anyone had heard of alpha ketoglutamic acid to help reduce ammonia levels.? Klaire Labs sells this. It looks as tho it may be legal - see ingredients listed below. or got the website: http://www.klaire.com/V135-06_proddetail.htm Alpha-ketoglutaric (AKG) is an organic acid that is important for the proper metabolism of all essential amino acids and the transfer of cellular energy in the citric acid cycle. It is a precursor to glutamic acid, the non-essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis and the regulation of blood glucose levels. In combination with L-glutamate, AKG can reduce levels of ammonia formed in the brain, muscles and kidneys, as well as help balance the body's nitrogen chemistry and prevent nitrogen excess in body tissues and fluids. Individuals with high protein intake, bacterial infections, or gastrointestinal dysbiosis may benefit from supplemental AKG to help balance ammonia levels and protect tissues. Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement take one capsule daily or as directed by a physician. V135-06 60 vegetarian capsules For pricing and purchasing information please see: About Purchasing Klaire Products Supplement Facts Serving Size 1 Capsule Amount Per Capsule Alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid 300 mg * *Daily Value not established Other Ingredients: Cellulose, VcapsT vegetarian capsule, water, and L-leucine. I think the Klaire products are great. Just a thought -- Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I was wondering about this too. Is it excitotoxic or anything? My daughter isn't at the point of tolerating many supplements. She reacts to everything! Jen > > PecanbreadAll- > > I was wondering if anyone had heard of alpha ketoglutamic acid to help reduce ammonia levels.? > > Klaire Labs sells this.
