“AAKG” (arginine) is a conditionally essential aliphatic amino acid that helps increase muscle volume and improve its relief, stimulates the body to produce growth hormone somatotropin, increases vitality, has a fat-burning, regenerating, potency-enhancing effect and an immunostimulating effect. We will tell you in detail how to properly take AAKG from Pureprotein in this article.
Benefits of Arginine
Content
Arginine is a supplement widely used in sports nutrition to increase endurance, increase working weight and pump.
This amino acid works without noticeable side effects, unlike supplements such as:
- Energy drink "Guarana".
- "Caffeine sodium benzoate", used in sports as a powerful energy drink.
- Other energy drinks for athletes.
The above supplements have a pronounced effect on the central nervous and cardiovascular systems. If they are abused, problems may arise in the functioning of these systems and the organs involved in their work.
Nutritional supplements are increasingly used in the nutrition of athletes
How to take AAKG?
As a rule, manufacturers recommend consuming 3-5 grams per day, dividing this amount into 1-3 doses. In fact, the average athlete needs 6-10 grams of AACG in order to see and get the desired result. Take the supplement before and immediately after your workout. On rest days, the time of admission does not matter.
In order for muscle mass to increase as quickly as possible, it is necessary to take the drug twice a day from 1500 to 3500 mg. The best time is the morning hours. Arginine must be taken on an empty stomach; a dosage of 3500 mg is the maximum amount of the drug at one time, recommended by experts. Before taking, it is best to dissolve the supplement in a large glass of water.
It is recommended to start using the drug with a small dose, which must be gradually increased. This will allow you to check for side effects and see how AACG acts on the body. Every athlete knows that AAKG is a drug that can be addictive. In this regard, you need to take breaks from taking the supplement.
Arginine: dosage, form, features:
According to recent studies, the dosage is calculated for each athlete individually, according to the intensity of physical activity and weight category. Thus, the optimal daily dose is considered to be 120 mg of amino acid per kilogram of the athlete’s weight.
Arginine is found in peptides and proteins, L-arginine being the most commonly used. Among sports supplements, it is available in capsule, powder and liquid form.
Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (AAKG) is an amino acid salt that maintains vascular tone, promotes pumping, and nourishes organs and muscles. Taken on an empty stomach, you should also avoid taking the salt of this amino acid together with fats, which reduce its effectiveness.

But I still need some advice: to stimulate growth hormone, it is advised to take it in the morning when you wake up and at night. Take when you wake up on an empty stomach. Now, if I drink bcaa + creatine when I wake up, what should I do with aakg? In this case, will simultaneous intake with creatine and bza be considered as on an empty stomach, or will it still be considered as taking with food, because the body will begin to process creatine and bza? <Ilya Melekhin, sports medicine doctor> 14.04.2019 22:49 It is not necessary to take it on an empty stomach. It is better to take creatine after a workout. <Dmitry> 15.04.2019 10:03 Thank you. PS After training, I also drink creatine: in the morning and after training. |

Please tell me why there are such different recommendations for taking AAKG Sun after meals... 1 tablet each!? scitec one hour before shade 1 serving = 4 tablets!! BuoTech 1-3 tablets before training 30 minutes And so on, what’s the fun in writing such different applications if the composition is the same L-arginine alpha-ket. And why do they write to take no more than 4g (sun AAKG), but the recommended doses according to AAKG were always from 3-9g if without magic injections.. Result: Why, with the same compositions of the table. Is the reception description different? Can I take it 30 minutes before training if I ate 2 hours before? What do you think as a doctor...from practice, how much AAKG can be taken per day? Thank you Best regards Alexander. <Ilya Melekhin, sports medicine doctor> 9.08.2018 12:17 There are no exact portions of arginine. There are limits. You can take it before and after training.

Previously, I drank arginine with ornithine and lysine from three companies (25 hours L-Arginine+L-Ornithine) (Maxler Arginine Ornithine Lysine) and (Ultimate Nutrition Arginine Ornithine Lysine). Then I bought aakg from pureprotein and noticed that all my joints began to crack, which had never happened before. I stopped drinking and after a week I noticed that the crunch began to decrease))) So the question is, have you ever had such problems???? Or is it just pure protein that gives such an effect? <Ilya Melekhin, sports medicine doctor> 24.09.2015 11:47 I think it's just a coincidence <vladislav> 6.12.2018 20:46 Hi, I drank liquid aminos from Weider and the same garbage, all my joints were crunching, my hands, shoulders, knees were crunching! I drank the bottle and after two weeks everything stopped! and argenine ornetine lezin brokers I drink 4 tablets before bed, there’s nothing in terms of crunch! |

. We take arginine 1 time a day without training and 2 times a day with training?? And how many tablets to take on both days?? Functions of arginine
The main functions of the drug from “Pureprotein” “AAKG” include the following:
- Donation of nitric oxide, which takes part in the formation of new cells, including muscle cells, in the restoration processes of muscle fibers, triggers catabolic processes.
- Removal of toxins – “AAKG” (arginine) promotes the removal of nitrogen and ammonium breakdown products. "AAKG" "Pureprotein" also promotes the removal of protein breakdown products.
- Accelerating the production of somatotropin - stimulating the body's production of the hormone HGH (growth) has a positive effect on increasing muscle volume and has a fat-burning effect.
Experienced athletes recommend taking the supplement to maintain high levels of growth hormone - Strengthening the pumping effect - through increased blood flow, it maximally enriches muscle cells with nutrients, while the visual venous relief is enhanced.
- Reducing the level of “bad cholesterol” - reduces the oxidative ability of cholesterol to destroy blood vessels, reducing the possibility of developing atherosclerosis.
Benefits and harms of L-Arginine
Taking L-Arginine has the following effects:
- normalizes the transmission of nerve impulses;
- stimulates lipolysis;
- reduces cholesterol;
- restores immunity;
- enhances the detoxification function of the liver;
- prevents oxidation processes in the body;
- enhances collagen production;
- improves heart function;
- lowers blood pressure and others.
An overdose of Arginine leads to gastrointestinal upset, tissue thickening, joint deformation and Alzheimer's disease.
Application in bodybuilding
In addition to the fact that L-Arginine is a protein component, by stimulating the synthesis of nitric oxide, it dilates blood vessels and helps saturate working tissues with oxygen and nutrients. This leads to faster muscle growth.
AAKG in bodybuilding:
- stimulates the production of growth hormone (anabolic effect);
- increases creatine content in muscles (energy);
- reduces the level of lactic acid in muscle tissue (detoxifying);
- regulates blood glucose levels (metabolic).
Arginine for women and men
Arginine AKG is a compound that takes part in all biochemical processes of the body. Its importance for men and women is due to its multifaceted effects on metabolic processes. It has the following actions:
- detoxifying;
- immunomodulatory;
- angioprotective;
- gastroprotective;
- neuroregulatory.
In addition, L-Arginine improves skin condition, regulates sexual function, and prevents the development of angina pectoris, atherosclerosis and hypertension.
Contraindications:
Great care should be taken when choosing this supplement for athletes in the following cases:
- if there is individual sensitivity to arginine;
- when a herpes virus is detected in the blood, in order to avoid exacerbation of the disease and the formation of colonies of virus cells;
- during pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- during the planning period of conception;
- for mental illness and disorders of the nervous system.

Taking arginine: what to pay attention to
Exceeding the maximum permissible daily dose of arginine “AAKG” is fraught with the development of gastrointestinal tract disorders (nausea, diarrhea), and the development of pancreatitis. Before you start using it, you must carefully read the instructions on how to take “AAKG” without harm to your health. Long-term use may reduce the body's protective functions. In some cases, increased excitability and insomnia are noted. It is also worth remembering whether you can drink coffee after training to avoid complications from the cardiovascular system.
Action of the medication
Some people have a question about AAKG or arginine, which is better. When alpha-ketoglutaric acid is added to arginine, the anabolic effect of the drug is enhanced. It helps improve cell respiration and neutralizes ammonia. Therefore, these two substances in combination have a positive effect on muscle tissue and stimulate metabolism to a greater extent. At the same time, the detoxification process also proceeds faster, which stops the development of fatigue and increases endurance.
Nitrogen dioxide, which is formed when taking the drug, regulates vascular tone, which determines the nutrition of all organs and tissues of the body. If there is insufficient amount of arginine in the human body, blood pressure increases. Thus, this substance controls the process of expansion and relaxation of vascular walls. At the same time, the passage of oxygen and nutrients to tissues improves, protein synthesis is activated and blood pressure decreases.
The drug removes protein breakdown products, waste and toxins from the body. It increases the production of growth hormone, which has a positive effect on the process of building muscle mass, as well as the breakdown of fat deposits.

Considering AAKG, what it is and how the drug acts on the body, it should be noted that it improves blood circulation, improves the nutrition of cells and tissues, reduces the oxidation of bad cholesterol, and stops the development of atherosclerosis.
Limitations and precautions
It is strongly not recommended to use arginine and other relatively harmless energy supplements for people suffering from schizophrenia. Do not use the additive after the expiration date. Limitations include a history of kidney disease and anuria. Arginine is used with caution in inflammatory processes of various etiologies. If the condition worsens or adverse reactions occur, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
How AAKG Helps Build Muscle
We found out what AAKG is, now it’s worth clarifying how it helps build muscle mass. The process by which muscle, strength and endurance increases is quite simple. When taking the supplement at 10 to 15 grams per day, there is an increase in nitric oxide production, resulting in larger blood vessels. These changes increase blood flow, but do not increase blood pressure. When blood vessels dilate, more blood and more nutrients flow to the muscle fibers.
For this reason, bodybuilders use pumping, the intensity and duration of which is quite high. During exercise, blood flow always increases. This is a natural process. The stronger the blood flow, the better for the muscles. A clear advantage of AACG is the ability to transport more protein and other nutrients to the muscles, especially when they need it most. While taking AACG, the muscle fibers receive everything they need for a long period of time.
Dosage forms
There are 2 main forms of dietary supplements with AAKG on sale:
- Tablets/capsules. These dosage forms practically do not differ in bioavailability and effectiveness. AAKG medications are convenient to take; you can take a small jar of vitamins with you to work or on a trip. Hard tablets dissolve slightly less readily than soft gelatin capsules.
- Powder. The best dietary supplement option for athletes. AAKG supplement can be mixed with water, natural juice or protein shake.
Preparations in powder form are cheaper than tablet versions.
