How It Works
How It Works
L-Ornithine plays a central role in the urea cycle, working with arginine and citrulline to convert toxic ammonia into harmless urea for elimination. Your body also converts ornithine into arginine, creatine, and other performance-supporting amino acids.
Who It's For
Athletes and fitness enthusiasts who train intensely and consume high-protein diets. Anyone looking to support their body's natural detoxification processes during periods of increased protein metabolism.
Who It's Not For
Not suitable for pregnant or nursing women, or anyone under 18. Consult your physician if taking medications or have medical conditions.
About This Product
What It Does
L-Ornithine helps your body clear ammonia buildup from protein metabolism while supporting muscle recovery. Unlike basic amino acid formulas, this provides a substantial 1,500mg per serving to actually move the needle on ammonia clearance. Your muscles produce ammonia during intense training — this helps process it efficiently.
Why It Works
- AMMONIA PROCESSING: Works directly in the urea cycle to convert toxic ammonia into harmless waste products your kidneys can eliminate.
- ARGININE CONVERSION: Your body converts ornithine into arginine, supporting healthy blood flow and nutrient delivery to working muscles.
- CREATINE PATHWAY: Also converts into creatine, your muscles' primary energy source for explosive movements and recovery.
