AKG Supplement (Alpha Ketoglutaric Acid) 1,000mg Per Serving (180 Capsules) Different and May Be More Effective Than AAKG (Recently Studied for Healthy Aging Properties) Gluten Free by Double Wood

El producto llegó en buena condición y conforme a lo ofrecido.

The AKG product really works, but even just one capsule (500 mg) per day was too much for me. It took away my peace and calmness -- I was too "on edge" mentally and physically. Found myself ruminating, obsessing, and over-reacting. Also found myself with a slight tremor and hyperactive/spasmodic reflexes.If any of this sounds familiar, you may want to consider taking a break and see if things get better. All those negative symptoms went away after I stopped taking the AKG. It took about 4 days to get back to a good balanced central nervous system. On the 2nd day I felt withdrawal symptoms, but by the 3rd day my CNS was rebalancing itself.Everyone is a little different in what they need for a good balanced CNS. But too much Glutamate is a known Excitotoxin, meaning that too much of it is toxic and will over stimulate and kill nerve & brain cells, which is not good for anyone. Glutamate is closely related to AKG because Glutamate is simply the amidated form of AKG. This means that Glutamate is easily made from AKG in the human body by replacing the oxygen group (=O) on the carbon backbone of AKG with an amino group (-NH2) and a hydrogen (-H) to produce Glutamate. In fact the human body is so good at making Glutamate, that there are several metabolic pathways and enzymes that actually do this using AKG.So in summary, if you're taking too much AKG then your cellular metabolism (including brain cells) tries to balance it out by converting it to Glutamate, which transfers the imbalance to having too much over stimulating and toxic levels of Glutamate in the CNS. The human brain is the most complex structure in the known universe, and is finely tuned for optimum performance. Messing with the balance of that fine tuning should be done with caution and a well-informed understanding - caveat emptor!

Minutes after take give me strong epigastric pain .unable to take

I started coughing when I opened the bottle. The extremely rancid, toxic stench shot straight up my nose. The smell seemed like a combination of vinegar and a large construction site porta-potty in the middle of a very hot summer day. The smell actually caused an instant burning sensation in my nose and throat.I noticed that the capsules were all stuck together. They were also stick to the cotton ball inside, making it very difficult to even force one capsule out of the container. The inside of the bottle was also coated with a sticky powder that looked like it had been generously sprinkled all over the capsules.I eventually managed to peel one capsule from the cotton ball and the cluster of other capsules that were stuck together with the sticky powder.When I brought the capsule closer to my mouth, I tried to ignore the stench but the intense, rancid smell was overwhelming and I started coughing again.Then I looked for an expiration date on the bottle since I thought it might be expired even though I just received it.According to the expiration date on the bottom of the bottle it wasn't supposed to expire for another 1.5 years.So why did it have such a horrible stench?I went back to my order list on Amazon to find the product reviews and only look at the 1-star reviews this time.To my amazement, many others described the exact same experience that I had and they included pictures of the clusters of capsules stuck together and stuck to the cotton ball.One person even complained about It giving him a gut ache but gave the product 4 stars anyway. Another reviewer gave it 5 stars after complaining about being "very disappointed" about the capsule contents spilling out all over the inside of the container.Why would reviewers give a product 4 stars or 5 stars if they hated it? That got me curious about the brand. I looked at Amazon customer 1-star reviews of some of Double Wood's other products. I wish I had done that before I bought this horrible product because the other products also had terrible reviews.I definitely will not be buying this rancid smelling product again or any other terrible product sold by Double Wood.I wish I could give this product zero stars.

I’ve been taking it for less than a month. I am 50 and I could see that my face started looking older and tired. I can’t put my finger on it, but after not that long of using it I look younger, my face looks more fresh. I had some people ask me what is my skin routine that it looks so good. I do have routine beyond soap and mosturizer, but I have to say that taking AKG made a difference. I did experience stomach ache in the beginning, but I made sure that I take the supplement in the middle of a meal, with some food in my stomach already, and followed by more food. And I drink a glass of water after. I don’t know if that changed things or my stomach gor used to the supplement, but I don’t have a reaction toIt anymore.

I am impressed with the Double Wood AKG. While it’s impossible to know if the positive changes I’m noticing are due only to taking the AKG or also to changes in diet and sleep patterns, I have been recently been completing my “fast walks” faster. For example, for the first time, I recently completed a 5-mile fast walk in less than 60 minutes. I also perceive my muscle definition to be improved, feeling that I’m looking more fit.I haven’t figured out exactly when to fit the AKG into my routine with other vitamins/supplements and 2 prescription medicines because I’m not sure if it has interactions with any of these. Because of uncertainty about any interactions, I’ve tried to wait some time after I take my other items in early morning and at dinner before taking the AKG, so I’m trying to take 1 capsule of AKG mid-morning and 1 capsule before bed. Because I’ve not yet established these as supplement-taking times, I sometimes forget one of those times and only take 1 capsule of AKG per day, instead of my goal/intent to take 2 capsules per day.
