Calcium in Ca-AKG is not the same calcium that you need for bones. I discussed it with my doctor. I use New Chapter plant calcium Bone Strength. And for healthy aging I use Double Wood AKG, which is better than AAKG.

Thatās very helpful info, thank you!
Is there a reason you chose AKG vs CA-AKG?
New chapter looks like a great productā¦ a more affordable version of AlgaeCal
I looked up strontium when I first came across their website and was scared off by reading a potential risk for those with heart disease. I didnāt do much reading about it. If you are taking it, Iām going to assume that might not really be a thing, so Iāll read up on it.
And thx @Uppereast69 Iāll look more into ca-akg, too. I have a lot of plaque so I am nervous about taking calcium, but I take a ton of k2, so hopefully that makes it safe.
I do take 250mg of either algae calcium or, usually dicalcium malate per day.
There is a little calcium in my vegan collagen drink. I wind up taking 100mg of calcium carbonate twice a day.
So my grand total of calcium supplementation per day is 450mg.
Iām glad you gave me the heads up about not taking too much at one sitting, so now Iāll be more cognizant on the timing of when Iām taking things. Do you think this includes food too, like kale, or just non food supplements?
Brian Kennedy on AKG.
It has a significant effect on biologically older (unhealthy) individuals.
Also starting a Rapamycin trial soon.

@DeStrider That was great, thank you!
My main question is how supplementing with AKG might impact the amount of regular calcium I should be taking for bone health, as I want to avoid over consuming calcium and potentially putting my heart health at risk.
EDIT: OH, I now see Rejuvant breaks down how much calcium it contains, so that answers my question, at least for that brand. I had picked up the Do Not Age a while ago, but they couldnāt answer me on how much calcium it contained, so I was flying blind.
He mentioned Rejuvant, which has one for men and women, but itās twice as expensiveā¦ thoughts? Obviously paying half is appealing 
On his good point of the unknown interaction amongst the various supplements we might be taking, do we have a thread that contains which molecules we should not be combining?

I usually go for paying half. I also like DoNotAge. I buy NMN and CAAKG from them.

I take 3gm of Ca-AKG a day, been doing that for about 8 months now.
Since Iām fairly well āoptimizedā I often donāt notice much of an effect physically.

Excellent!
I see Renue by science has a delayed release that is also price competitive. Do we like and trust that brand ? The main appeal of them over do not age is they disclose the amount of calcium in it which helps me figure out my other calcium supplementation.
I take do not age ha and appreciate no fillers
@Steve_Combi which brand?

My ābrandā but I have not been selling it, I would consider it for anyone interested in bulk powder. Itās surprisingly inexpensive.

I have been taking Ca AKG for 5 months. Thats the only change I made to my AM stack. Initially no change but now I have noticed overall improved exercise performance past 2 months e.g., I regularly do threshold training and my recovery score and HRV has improved

I can say that at 49, I am probably in better shape than I was at 30 (albeit with a few extra lbs.) based on my performance hiking three sections of the Great Wall. I had the endurance to keep up with the whole family while carrying a 30 lb backpack of drinks and snacks. And there was never really a time when I felt too tired. Itās great to be able to keep up the hike with my sons and wife.
I felt great and vital after our trip. Thanks to all of the meds, supplements and advice that Iāve obtained from this site!

I could be wrong I would guess itās something else since I would have expected benefits before two months of being on it.

What you say is possible. Unless it is either rapamycin or mindset/ belief effect(nocebo)ā¦
