AAKG Ultra Caps 1150mg | 365 capsules | German Elite Nutrition

AAKG Ultra Caps by German Elite Nutrition

Prefer capsules over weighing out powder? AAKG capsules provide a fixed dose without a shaker or measuring scoop. German Elite Nutrition's AAKG Ultra Caps deliver 1150 mg of L-arginine alpha-ketoglutamate per capsule in a 2:1 ratio. One bottle contains 365 capsules, so one package will last you a long time.

What AAKG is

AAKG stands for arginine alpha-ketoglutamate: the amino acid L-arginine combined with alpha-ketoglutamate, an intermediate product of metabolism. In the 2:1 ratio, there are two parts arginine to one part alpha-ketoglutamate, so you get a relatively high amount of arginine per capsule. There are currently no approved European health claims for L-arginine and alpha-ketoglutamate, so we only describe the substances here as an ingredient and explain what they are. AAKG is one of the well-known raw materials in pre-workout and sports nutrition, widely used by strength athletes and fitness enthusiasts. You will find it in powders and boosters, and also as AAKG capsules like these Ultra Caps.

Why capsules instead of powder

Powder gives you freedom in dosing, but capsules are much more practical. You don't have to weigh out or mix anything, and you don't have to taste the rather sour flavor of loose AAKG powder. On the go, at work, or in your gym bag: you can easily throw a bottle of capsules in there, while with powder you always need to have a shaker and water at hand. Each capsule contains a fixed 1150 mg, so you know exactly how much you are taking without scooping or estimating. Many athletes take AAKG around training. With these AAKG capsules you simply count out the number you want and wash them down with water. For those who like to keep their routine simple, this is a convenient way to use AAKG without the hassle. Torn between powder and capsules? Choose powder if you want to dose and mix yourself, and capsules if convenience and portability are more important to you.

1150 mg per capsule, to be divided throughout the day

With 1150 mg per capsule, you are on the high side compared to many AAKG capsules that deliver 500 to 1000 mg. If you take four capsules, that is 4600 mg of AAKG. You can spread that throughout the day or take it all together before training, whatever fits your schedule. Because the content per capsule is high, you need to swallow fewer of them for the same amount of AAKG. Convenient, because no one likes swallowing handfuls of capsules a day. The 2:1 formula also delivers extra arginine compared to a standard 1:1 blend, which especially appeals to experienced athletes who consciously build up their intake. If you are just starting with AAKG, stick to a lower amount and see how you react before moving to the full daily dose. This way your body gradually gets used to the supplement and you don't suddenly end up with a high intake.

Pure and without unnecessary additives

German Elite Nutrition deliberately chooses a pure composition without magnesium stearate, colorings, or other unnecessary additives. The capsule contains only L-arginine alpha-ketoglutamate, along with the capsule shell. This way you get the AAKG you are looking for and not a handful of fillers that you don't really need. Store the bottle in a dry place and keep it tightly closed, then the capsules will stay in good condition. In short, these are AAKG capsules with 1150 mg each, 365 capsules per bottle, for athletes who prefer to swallow their arginine rather than drink it. Take them as a supplement alongside a varied diet and do not exceed the recommended dosage. This way you maintain a simple, fixed way to incorporate AAKG into your routine. A bottle of 365 pieces lasts over three months at four per day, so you don't have to reorder often. For athletes who don't feel like weighing out powder, these capsules are a straightforward alternative that you can take anywhere. Many users combine AAKG with other separate sports nutrition products such as creatine or citrulline, each in its own dosage alongside each other. Because the capsules contain no flavor or sweetener, they are easy to take alongside a pre-workout shake or a protein shake without the flavors clashing. For those who eat plant-based, this product is less suitable, because the capsule shell is made of gelatin; in that case, choose the powder form.
