Maximum-Strength Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate
Supports physical energy and faster muscle recovery
Supports healthy blood flow for optimal delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells

Alpha-ketoglutarate, an amino acid compound used for energy metabolism, accelerates absorption of L-arginine. You'll enjoy steadier energy levels with the more efficient exchange of cell nutrients and wastes and speedier delivery of oxygen to the tissues. Supplementing with Arginine AKG also promotes faster muscle recovery after exercise and may support greater gains in anaerobic power when combined with a resistance training program.

Title:BEST BUY

Date:February 1, 2012

"! have felt much better since I stated using arginine. It was expence at the health store and was sold as a mans product. I found this product in swanson's catalog with the enhancement and tried it. It was far better that the store bough product at about half the price. Upon doing some research on the product I found that it has many health benefits and my wife now uses it too."

Title:Worth IT!!

Date:November 2, 2010

"If you are buying this thinking you are getting Nitric Oxide, you are wrong. This product ENHANCES the production of nitric oxide. I use this every time I work out. I take 2 about 30 min before working out. You are not going to be able to lift a train after you take this, but what you will be able to do is go longer and stronger. You will see and fell the difference. I gave a half a bottle to a co-worker and he is now buying them. In two weeks he has gone from 60 lb dumbell flys to 90 lbs. It doesn't make you stronger, it helps you last longer to get stronger. You still have to work out but now you can go longer and harder with less exhaustion."
