Ornithine

(See also Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate)

What is Ornithine?

L-ornithine is a non-protein amino acid used by the body to synthesize L-proline, polyamines, and the non-essential amino acid L-arginine. L-arginine is very important in the body, as it helps keep the heart healthy, helps heal wounds, and is a powerful antioxidant.

Health Benefits

Some research suggests that L-ornithine may have anabolic (muscle building) properties, and may help improve exercise performance. However, other research strongly supports that ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG), a similar substance, may better support these claims.

L-ornithine may be useful in cases of trauma, to help support the immune system, and to help heal wounds. L-arginine production in trauma patients is greatly impaired, and administration of L-ornithine increases L-arginine levels, which aids the immune system during the recovery process.

Usage Indications

Use as directed.
L-ornithine supplements are available in capsule and powder form.

  • Side effects: High doses may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
  • Indications: Individuals with the rare condition ornithine-delta-aminotransferase should not take ornithine. Pregnant/nursing women should not take this supplement.
