Features & Benefits

• Non-essential amino acids
• Supports and maintains protein metabolism
• Vegetarian / Vegan

Summary

Ornithine is a non-essential amino acid that plays a central role in the urea cycle, functioning along with Arginine and Citrulline to rid the body of ammonia, a byproduct of protein metabolism. Because Ornithine is converted into Arginine, it can help to maintain healthy Arginine levels in the body. Ornithine can also be converted into other amino acids, such as citrulline, proline, and glutamate, as well as creatine, an important muscular energy source. NOW® natural and organic supplements provide an effective way to ensure individuals receive essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients for optimal health. Since 1968, NOW® has been committed to producing top-quality products that meet the highest standards, empowering people to lead healthier lives.
