L-Ornithine 500 mg
Nutricost
Overview
L-Ornithine primarily functions in the urea cycle, converting ammonia to urea, thus reducing blood ammonia levels. While clinical evidence supports its use in managing hepatic encephalopathy, less evidence exists to support its use in athletic performance. Dosing and efficacy for general purposes still require further research.
The Good
May support liver health by reducing ammonia levels.
May aid in muscle recovery and growth through GH and IGF-1 stimulation.
Non-GMO and Gluten-Free Product.
The Bad
Potential gastrointestinal side effects at higher doses.
Limited evidence for athletic performance enhancement.
Insufficient safety data for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking liver support, those with elevated ammonia levels, athletes interested in potential performance benefits (though limited)
Skip If: You are pregnant, nursing, or have a pre-existing medical condition without consulting a doctor.
