Calcium 2-oxoglutarate(CAT: I017274) is the calcium salt form of 2-oxoglutaric acid (α-ketoglutaric acid), an essential intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and a key regulator of cellular energy metabolism. As both a metabolic fuel and signaling molecule, it plays important roles in amino acid metabolism, nitrogen balance, and collagen biosynthesis. Supplementation with calcium 2-oxoglutarate has been studied for promoting bone health, connective tissue maintenance, and wound healing, while also showing potential in modulating aging-related metabolic pathways. With dual benefits as a mineral source and metabolic intermediate, calcium 2-oxoglutarate is a versatile compound for biochemical, nutritional, and medical research.
