Enhancing Mitochondrial Function and Maintaining Cell Vitality Mitochondria are the “energy factories” of cells, responsible for converting ingested nutrients into energy. One of the core reasons for aging is the decline in mitochondrial function. Studies have found that AKG can significantly improve the energy metabolism efficiency of mitochondria by promoting the TCA cycle and increasing ATP production, thereby providing cells with a more sustained source of energy. Experiments have shown that after supplementing with AKG, mitochondria not only produce more energy but also reduce the by-products resulting from incomplete metabolism. This “efficient and clean” energy supply mechanism helps to slow down the decline in cellular function. (Images sourced from the internet) 2. Inducing NAD+ Production and Activating Longevity Genes NAD+ is an important coenzyme in cellular metabolism and gene repair, directly affecting the cell’s ability to repair and regenerate. Research indicates that AKG can significantly increase the concentration of NAD+ in the body by activating the synthesis of NAD+ precursors. NAD+ can activate “longevity genes” and gene repair enzymes, thereby extending cell life. After supplementing with AKG, the NAD+ level in cells increases rapidly, allowing cells to perform self-repair more efficiently. For example, DNA damage repair is accelerated, and gene stability is improved, which helps to slow down the aging process. (Images sourced from the internet) 3. Activating Autophagy and Removing Damaged Cells Autophagy is a “self-cleaning” mechanism in cells that breaks down damaged or aged cellular components, releases energy, and promotes the growth of new cells. AKG has been shown to significantly activate the autophagy process, accelerating the removal of damaged cells and abnormal proteins, keeping cells in a healthy state. Chronic inflammation is one of the main drivers of aging and many age-related diseases (such as Alzheimer’s disease and cardiovascular diseases). Supplementing with AKG can suppress chronic inflammation associated with aging, further slowing down the aging process. (Images sourced from the internet) 4. Optimizing the Internal Environment and Enhancing Antioxidant Capacity Excessive free radicals are one of the main causes of aging; they attack cell membranes, DNA, and proteins, leading to cell damage. AKG has a significant antioxidant effect, capable of removing excess free radicals and reducing oxidative stress. Additionally, by regulating the body’s acid-base balance and nutrient distribution, AKG improves the cellular microenvironment, providing more favorable metabolic conditions for cells, which helps to slow down cellular aging and enhance overall function.
