Alpha Ketoanalogue with Essential Amino Acids
This product contains a blend of keto analogues of essential amino acids and free-form essential amino acids. Keto analogues are nitrogen-free precursors that convert into essential amino acids, reducing nitrogen load and metabolic waste, making them ideal for kidney patients.
