Introduction of L-Ornithine HCl
L(+)-Ornithine hydrochloride is a non-essential amino acid. It is manufactured in the body utilizing L-Arginine which is an important precursor needed to manufacture Citrulline, Proline and Glutamic Acid. It is one of the growth releasers used to increase lean muscle mass while decreasing body fat.
1. L-Ornithine promotes amino acid synthesis and protein availability. It is a potent anabolic muscle building food that increases energy, endurance and muscle mass while inhibiting muscle breakdown, fatigue, and the build up of fat.
2. L-Ornithine is an amino acid complex manufactured from two amino acids, ornithine and glutamine. L-Ornithine by itself is used by athletes to improve performance
