What is AAKG for horses?Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate, also known as AAKG for horses is a nonessential amino acid that’s necessary when it comes to making nitric oxide in the horses liver.AAKG is a combination of the amino acid arginine and the compound alpha-ketoglutarate.Supplementation can lead to improved blood flow and nutrient delivery to muscles during exercise. Some of its potential benefits include increased endurance, improved recovery after work.How does AAKG for horses work?This Alpha-Ketoglutarate compound helps improve the delivery of L-arginine in metabolic pathways. The amino acid arginine is the precursor for the formation of nitric oxide in tissue circulation. Nitric oxide is a powerful vasodilator i.e. causes the blood vessels to widen, which encourages greater blood flow and tissue perfusion.In the immune system, a key role of arginine is in the generation of large amounts of nitric oxide (NO) during non-specific inflammatory responses.What are the potential health benefits of AAKG for horses?Supports Circulation: AAKG is known to enhance circulation, which can be beneficial for horses with compromised circulation in the laminae, particularly in cases of vasoconstriction and ischemia.Maintains Healthy Hoof Function: By promoting better blood flow to the hooves, AAKG can help maintain the healthy functioning of the hoof.Support during Stress: Arginine, a component of AAKG, can provide support during times of stress for horses.Supports Ligaments and Tendons: AAKG may aid in the support and maintenance of healthy ligaments and tendons in horses.Increased Nitric Oxide (NO) Formation: When used in conjunction with the herb jiaogulan, AAKG is thought to enhance nitric oxide formation, which can have additional benefits for circulation.Cold Weather Support: AAKG supplementation before a cold weather snap can further promote healthy hoof function and circulation, especially in cases where AVA shunts have been damaged.Enhanced Nutritional Support: When both jiaogulan and AAKG are supplemented together, before and during cold temperatures, the nutritional support for circulation and hoof health is even more effective.Complementary Management: Alongside other management practices like wrapping feet and providing deep bedding, AAKG supplementation can be a useful approach for maintaining healthy circulation in hooves affected by cold temperatures.
