NOW L-Ornithine 500 mg – Protein Metabolism Support, 120 Veg Capsules

NOW L-Ornithine 500 mg is a fitness-focused amino acid supplement designed to support healthy protein metabolism and normal urea-cycle function. Each vegetable capsule provides 500 mg of L-ornithine derived from L-ornithine hydrochloride, and a complete three-capsule serving supplies 1,500 mg. Ornithine is a non-essential amino acid that works alongside arginine and citrulline within the urea cycle, a natural process that helps the body manage ammonia produced during normal protein metabolism. Ornithine also contributes to pathways associated with healthy arginine levels and the formation of other amino acids, including citrulline, proline, and glutamate. For another fitness amino acid, see NOW L-Carnitine 1000 mg Carnipure®, or see NOW Foods L-Phenylalanine 500 mg.
