What the brand says

Sold as “Source Naturals OKG, Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate - 4 oz Powder”

Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate, or OKG, is a combination of the amino acid ornithine and alpha-ketoglutaric acid (AKG). AKG is an important component in the Krebs cycle, the chief energy-producing cycle in the body. Free-form ornithine is used by athletes and those who want to improve performance. OKG spares muscles the need to break down their BCAAs (branch chain amino acids) in order to generate glutamine, an important energy fuel. Glutamine is generated when AKG combines with ammonia released during intense muscle activity. The suggested use is 1 teaspoon daily, mixed with water or juice.
