● BCAA 4.1.1 and OKG
● Facilitates protein synthesis
● Optimises post-workout recovery
Ketoram is a supplement containing BCAAs with a particular 4.1.1 ratio, ornithine-alpha-ketoglutarate and Vitamin B6.
BCAAS are abundantly contained in the skeletal muscle (35% of total) and constitute one of the most important factors in the regulation of muscle protein metabolism.
Their availability facilitates protein synthesis. Leucine in particular is extremely active in this regard as it induces the activity of the intracellular receptor mTOR C1.
For this reason, Ketoram contains a different ratio of BCAAs, leucine, isoleucine and valine (4.1.1) compared to Friram’s ratio of 2.1.1.
This formulation seems to be more suitable to accelerate post-workout recovery and to boost muscle growth in particular.
BCAAs are also a great supplement to facilitate muscle recovery after traumas or surgery and during rehabilitation.
Since they are not metabolised directly by the liver, but in the muscles, they can be taken without precautions in a recommended average dose of 1g per 10 kg of body weight.
Ornithine-alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) increases the availability of AKG, an essential intermediate in the metabolism of amino acids, extremely useful to facilitate both anabolic and catabolic function as well as the expulsion of excess nitrogen.
The amino acid Ornithine participates in the urea cycle, which is responsible for the elimination of nitrogen waste.
