L-Ornithine, Powder - 227g

What Is It?

L-Ornithine Powder by NOW Foods is a single-nutrient amino acid supplement designed for those interested in supporting protein metabolism. This non-essential amino acid plays a key role in the urea cycle, working alongside arginine and citrulline to help the body process ammonia, a natural by-product of protein breakdown. As L-ornithine converts into arginine and other amino acids like citrulline, proline, and glutamate, it also contributes to the production of creatine, which is involved in muscular energy. The powder format allows for flexible dosing and easy mixing with liquids.

Key Benefits

• Supports the urea cycle by aiding in the removal of ammonia from protein metabolism
• Helps maintain healthy arginine levels through conversion
• Can be converted into other amino acids important for various metabolic functions
• Available as a pure powder for customizable dosing
