What does it do?

Alpha-keto-DL-isoleucine calcium is a precursor of the essential amino acid isoleucine and belongs to the category of amino acid preparations. It is primarily used to maintain nutritional status and support metabolic balance during protein intake restriction in patients with chronic renal failure.

This ingredient is converted into amino acids in the body, contributing to protein synthesis. It reduces the metabolic products of amino acids in patients with impaired kidney function, alleviating kidney burden and improving nutritional status.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Alpha-keto-DL-isoleucine calcium is characterized by its form as a precursor rather than an amino acid itself, allowing for the supply of essential amino acids while placing less burden on the kidneys. This is a significant advantage that distinguishes it from simple amino acid supplements.
