Trying Ca‑AKG for energy and inflammation – thoughts?

Posted by greg208 in Longevity & Anti-Aging - 1 points, 0 comments.

Just started taking Ca‑AKG a few weeks ago, 1 g with breakfast and 1 g at lunch. Gave it a shot because the papers keep saying it can help the Krebs cycle and lower inflammation. For the first two days I felt a bit of a tummy ache – probably the mild GI upset the desc says can come at higher doses.

5 g each dose and it feels better. In the last week my workouts have felt less sluggish and I noticed my chest pains after a hard shift are a little less frequent – not a miracle, but a hint that something might be happening. I’m around 38, still training 3x a week, and looking for ways to keep my cells happy.

Anyone else mixing Ca‑AKG with spermidine or low‑dose Metformin to boost autophagy? Would love to hear if you’ve seen any changes in sleep, skin or general energy and any tips on timing so it doesn’t clash with meals.
