FAQ

How does L-ornithine support the urea cycle?
L-ornithine is a key component of the urea cycle, a natural process that converts excess nitrogen produced during protein metabolism into urea so it can be safely eliminated by the body. This process helps maintain healthy nitrogen balance and supports normal liver function.
How does L-ornithine support exercise recovery?
Intense exercise increases the breakdown of amino acids and the production of ammonia as a natural byproduct of metabolism. By supporting the urea cycle, L-ornithine helps the body efficiently process excess nitrogen, making it a popular supplement for athletes and active individuals looking to support post-exercise recovery.
When is the best time to take L-ornithine?
L-ornithine can be taken at any time of day, depending on your wellness goals and the product directions. Some people choose to take it after exercise to support recovery, while others take it between meals or before bedtime. For best results, follow the serving recommendations on the product label.
Is Swanson L-Ornithine suitable for special diets?
Yes. Swanson L-Ornithine is suitable for vegan and vegetarian lifestyles, is made with non-GMO ingredients, and is formulated without gluten or dairy. It is a great choice for individuals seeking a free-form amino acid supplement that fits a variety of dietary preferences.
