Alpha-ketoglutarate is the salt form of alpha-ketoglutaric acid that binds to other substances. For example, calcium alpha-ketoglutarate is alpha-ketoglutaric acid bound to calcium. By itself, alpha-ketoglutaric acid is a strong organic acid, and taking it by mouth can upset the stomach or irritate the oesophagus. Kirkman has solved this problem by blending alpha-ketoglutaric acid with its calcium and magnesium salts to produce a “bi-element buffered alpha-ketoglutaric acid” that will not produce excess acidity.
