AAKG is Arginine with a malic acid attached. The effects are said to be more pronounced over Arginine HCl, with users gaining advantages in nitric oxide production and oxygen delivery to muscle cells. AAKG can help give users higher energy levels in the gym and create a pump effect.

If you want to train full instead of flat, Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AAKG) is here to help!
AAKG is actually two different compounds bonded together. The salt of an arginine molecule is bonded alpha-ketoglutarate, a precursor to the amino acid l-glutamine. The amino acid l-arginine is found naturally in foods like cottage cheese, oatmeal, beef and chicken. Arginine is a precursor to nitric oxide production and vasodilation.
It’s commonly found in most NO products to aid workout performance.
AAKG is thought to offer better absorption than regular l-arginine, thereby offering enhanced NO production. Essentially, AAKG offers all the support of arginine in a form designed to absorb quickly and efficiently.
