L-Ornithine, 500 mg – Nitrogen Detoxification, Liver Support, Energy and Muscle Recovery

L-Ornithine 500 mg, Now Foods is a concentrated dietary supplement that provides 1.5 g (1,500 mg) of L-ornithine in free form per serving (obtained from 1,913 mg L-ornithine hydrochloride). L-ornithine is an amino acid directly involved in the urea cycle – the main pathway by which the body detoxifies and eliminates excess ammonia, a product resulting from protein metabolism. Through its central role in this process, L-ornithine contributes to supporting liver health, maintaining balanced protein metabolism, reducing metabolic stress and supporting energy and recovery, especially in the context of intense effort or a demanding lifestyle.

When the body is subjected to increased protein consumption, intense training, periods of stress or prolonged fatigue, the level of ammonia resulting from metabolism can increase, which can be associated with feelings of fatigue, weakening of effort capacity and general discomfort. L-ornithine, through participation in the transformation of ammonia into urea (eliminated through the kidneys), helps maintain a cleaner internal environment and more efficient metabolic functioning.

L-Ornithine 500 mg, Now Foods is thus a suitable choice for active people, athletes, those following protein-rich diets or for those who want natural support for the liver, energy and muscle and metabolic recovery processes.

Detailed benefits of L-Ornithine 500 mg, Now Foods

• Supporting nitrogen detoxification and liver health

The liver is the main organ responsible for processing products resulting from metabolism, including ammonia. The urea cycle – in which L-ornithine plays a key role – transforms ammonia into urea, a much less toxic compound, which is then eliminated through urine.

In the absence of optimal flow through this cycle, the following may appear:
• metabolic overload at the hepatic level
• feeling of persistent fatigue
• lower tolerance for protein-rich diets

Through the intake of 1.5 g L-ornithine per serving, the supplement can contribute to:
✅ Supporting the transformation of ammonia into urea, facilitating its elimination
✅ Supporting the physiological function of the liver in the nitrogen detoxification process
✅ Maintaining a more balanced metabolic environment in the context of increased protein consumption

Thus, L-Ornithine 500 mg, Now Foods supports one of the most important pathways through which the body manages its nitrogen "waste", with positive impact on general comfort and vitality.

• Supporting energy levels and reducing effort-related fatigue

Excess ammonia resulting from intense protein metabolism can negatively influence fatigue perception and effort capacity, especially in the case of athletes or people with intense training. Through its involvement in the urea cycle, L-ornithine helps the body manage these degradation products more efficiently, which can contribute to better effort tolerance.

L-Ornithine 500 mg, Now Foods can support:
✅ A more stable energy feeling during and after training
✅ Reducing the perception of fatigue associated with physical or metabolic demands
✅ The body's ability to respond better to sustained effort

By facilitating nitrogen detoxification, L-ornithine helps the body focus on performance and recovery, not on managing excess ammonia.

• Support for muscle recovery and protein metabolism

Amino acids are the building blocks from which proteins are constructed – including muscle proteins. L-ornithine, although not used directly in protein structure, plays an essential role in the metabolic environment in which their synthesis and degradation takes place. Balanced protein metabolism is important for maintaining and restoring muscle mass, especially after intense effort or in protein-rich diets.

Through supplementation with L-Ornithine 500 mg, Now Foods, the body can benefit from:
✅ Indirect support for muscle recovery processes through efficient management of nitrogen degradation products
✅ Supporting a metabolic environment conducive to protein synthesis and regeneration
✅ Help in maintaining muscle mass during periods of training or increased metabolic stress

These effects make L-ornithine a valuable ally in performance support and muscle recovery strategies.

• Supporting metabolic balance in protein-rich diets

High-protein diets, weight loss regimens based on increased protein intake or periods when protein supplement consumption is increased put additional pressure on nitrogen metabolism and the liver. The body must efficiently transform and eliminate degradation products, especially ammonia.

L-Ornithine 500 mg, Now Foods can:
✅ Help the body cope better with increased protein intake
✅ Support urea cycle efficiency in the context of protein-rich diets
✅ Contribute to maintaining general comfort during weight loss or definition programs

Thus, L-ornithine integrates very well into the nutritional routines of people pursuing body remodeling or increasing protein intake.

• Supporting processes associated with body regeneration and recovery

Regeneration and recovery processes occur especially during rest and sleep periods. During these moments, the body repairs tissues, regenerates cells and rebalances its metabolism. A clean metabolic environment, with good management of ammonia and other degradation products, is essential for these processes to take place optimally.

L-Ornithine 500 mg, Now Foods can contribute to:
✅ Supporting the metabolic context necessary for tissue regeneration
✅ Supporting internal balance after physically or psychologically demanding days
✅ Ensuring a favorable background for muscle and general recovery during rest periods

Through its role in the urea cycle, L-ornithine helps the body recover more efficiently after repeated demands.

• Supporting the immune system and response to metabolic stress

The immune system is directly influenced by the general state of metabolism. The accumulation of toxic products, including ammonia, can represent an additional stress factor for the body. By facilitating their elimination, L-ornithine contributes to maintaining an internal environment more favorable to the physiological functioning of immune cells.

Benefits may include:
✅ General support for the body during periods of physical or metabolic stress
✅ Supporting the ability to adapt to effort and repeated demands
✅ Indirect contribution to the harmonious functioning of the body's defense mechanisms

Thus, L-Ornithine 500 mg, Now Foods can be seen as basic metabolic support, useful for the entire body.

• Supporting general well-being and daily vitality

Metabolic balance, a liver supported in nitrogen detoxification, efficient recovery after effort and maintaining muscle mass are key elements for a general state of well-being and vitality. L-ornithine, through its central action in the urea cycle, contributes to all these aspects.

Through regular use, L-Ornithine 500 mg, Now Foods can:
✅ Support a general state of "lightness" and metabolic comfort
✅ Contribute to maintaining energy and daily effort capacity
✅ Help easier integration of training and protein-rich diets into an active lifestyle

Through all these effects, L-Ornithine 500 mg, Now Foods emerges as a supplement oriented towards efficient nitrogen detoxification, liver support, energy, recovery and metabolic balance, being suitable for people who want to protect and optimize their internal processes in the context of modern demands.
