Solgar® L-Arginine 500 mg / L-Ornithine 250 mg contains the amino acids arginine and ornithine.
Amino acids are the fundamental components of proteins and are necessary in numerous functions of the body. They are divided into "essential" and "non-essential". Essential amino acids are those that the body cannot produce but must obtain from the diet. The body can also use amino acids to create hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, antibodies and nutrient transporters. An insufficient supply of essential amino acids increases the body's need for the non-essential amino acids it must get through the diet. Foods that increase amino acid intake are meat, beans, cheese and eggs.
Arginine is a non-essential amino acid and, although the body can synthesize it, some groups of people may benefit from an extra contribution. It is popular among athletes for its role in muscle metabolism as it helps transport, storage and excretion of nitrogen. It is also found in high concentrations in the skin and connective tissue.
The second amino acid in this formula is ornithine, which is also a non-essential amino acid. Ornithine is manufactured by the body when arginine is metabolized during urea production. Ornithine is involved in the concentration of ammonia in the blood.
Solgar® L-Arginine 500 mg / L-Ornithine 250 mg is administered once a day, in an easy-to-take vegetarian capsule.
All Solgar® products meet the industry's strictest criteria for excellence. Made from natural ingredients and innovating since 1947, Solgar® is the recommended food supplement.
