What does it do?

L-Ornithine hydrochloride belongs to the amino acid group and is primarily used in pharmaceuticals for liver function improvement and metabolic regulation. This ingredient plays a crucial role in detoxifying ammonia in the liver, thereby aiding in maintaining liver health.

L-Ornithine hydrochloride activates the urea cycle, which converts ammonia into urea in the liver, effectively eliminating the toxic substance ammonia from the body. This leads to improved liver function and smoother metabolic processes.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike other amino acids, L-ornithine hydrochloride is specialized in directly promoting the urea cycle. Therefore, it is particularly effective in improving liver function and is distinguishable from simple nutritional supplements.
