L-Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (OKG) salts ornithine with alpha-ketoglutarate. Binding the two together lets the body take up ornithine more easily than from standard ornithine supplements.
People reach for OKG when recovering from heavy training, surgery, or injury. The compound helps slow muscle breakdown and aids tissue repair. Most users take it as a powder or capsule on an empty stomach or between meals. Some pick OKG over other ornithine forms for wound healing and anti-catabolic support. Solid proof for everyday wellness is still thin.
Digestive upset can happen at high doses. Anyone with kidney or liver trouble should tread carefully.
