Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate is a salt formed of two molecules of the non-protein amino acid, l-ornithine, and one molecule alpha-ketoglutarate. OKG has been used both enterally and parenterally in burn, trauma, surgical and chronically malnourished patients. This includes appetite loss associated with aging, gastroenteritis, depression and cancer. It appears to decrease protein catabolism and/or increase protein synthesis. OKG is a popular nutritional supplement for athletes as it has anticatabolic and/or anabolic actions. OKG is a source of l-glutamine and l-arginine precursors land possesses immunomodulatory effects.
