What it is

Calcium salt of alpha-ketoglutarate, a Krebs-cycle intermediate. Animal data including a notable mouse longevity study show extended median lifespan and reduced frailty. Small human trials suggest improvements in biological-age markers, with the Buck Institute / Ponce de Leon Health work being the most-cited human dataset. Evidence remains preliminary and product quality varies widely.
