More Info
NOW L-Ornithine is an amino acid that has been used by fitness enthusiasts for years.
What is L-Ornithine?
Ornithine is a called non-essential amino acid, because it is a component of protein that can be manufactured by the body from another amino acid, arginine. Just because it is non-essential does not mean that the body cannot benefit from its supplementation. Ornithine plays an important role in the metabolism of protein and nitrogen containing compounds. Thus it has an important role in muscle building and regaining muscle after periods of illness or inactivity. Ornithine is involved in the production of polyamines (growth hormone) and other compounds that promote the growth of all body tissues by including muscle. Ornithine can be used for wounds and other conditions that require repair of tissue. By stimulating growth hormone, ornithine promotes the metabolism of body fat. Thus ornithine has become a popular supplement for individuals who wish to lose weight. Ornithine enhances the activity of the thymus; the gland that produces T cells for the immune system. T cells are important for anti-viral (like HIV) and anti-cell growth activity. Ornithine can be used for many health conditions in addition to the ones mentioned above. They include high cholesterol, liver detoxification, aging and skin damage. Ornithine, arginine and carnitine are used by those who wish to increase their athletic performance.
What are Amino Acids?
As the building blocks of protein, Amino Acids are vital to health. Next to water, amino acids in the form of proteins make up the greatest portion of our body weight. They comprise tendons, muscles and ligaments; organs and glands; hair and nails; important bodily fluids, and are a necessary part of every cell in the body.
There are over 20 amino acids, separated into two categories essential and non-essential. Essential amino acids are those that cannot be manufactured by your body, hence, it is essential that you obtain them from your diet. Non-essential amino acids can be manufactured by your body, however, your body must have the right combination of essential amino acids and supporting nutrients to optimize healthy protein maintenance, so supplementation may be desirable.
