L-Ornithine 500mg 120VC
What is L-Ornithine?
Ornithine is a non-essential amino acid that plays a central role in the urea cycle, functioning along with Arginine and Citrulline to rid the body of ammonia, a by-product of protein metabolism. Because Ornithine is converted into Arginine, it can help to maintain healthy Arginine levels in the body. Ornithine can also be converted into other amino acids, such as citrulline, proline, and glutamate, as well as creatine, an important muscular energy source.

What is Boron?
Boron is a biologically active trace mineral that affects calcium, magnesium and phosphorus metabolism. Boron is known to support bone strength and structure.
Boron is essential to plant growth and in turn finds its way into the human diet. Boron is present in plant foods such as fruits (especially plums, grapes, and avocados), vegetables, nuts, and legumes.
Despite its availability in nature, ingesting adequate amounts of boron can be difficult as Boron levels in plant food may be low and modern dietary habits indicate people do not eat enough fruit and vegetables.
