Description
Health Leads L-Ornithine provides 500mg of pure L-Ornithine in a simple, additive-free vegetable capsule.
L-Ornithine is a naturally occurring amino acid produced by the body as part of the urea cycle—a normal metabolic process that converts ammonia, a by-product of protein metabolism, into urea for excretion.
Unlike many amino acids, L-Ornithine is not used directly to build proteins. Instead, it acts as an intermediate within the urea cycle and can be synthesised naturally from the amino acid L-Arginine.
Health Leads L-Ornithine is produced by natural fermentation of corn-derived L-Arginine and is supplied in a straightforward formulation with no unnecessary additives.
What is L-Ornithine?
L-Ornithine is classified as a non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it participates in important metabolic pathways rather than being incorporated into proteins.
Within the body, L-Ornithine works alongside amino acids such as L-Arginine and L-Citrulline as part of the urea cycle, a natural process that helps manage nitrogen produced during normal protein metabolism.
Because of its role in this pathway, L-Ornithine has become a popular ingredient in amino acid food supplements.
