Ornithine

Original price $24.95
Current price $0.00

Ornithine is a non-essential amino acid primarily known for its role in the urea cycle, helping to remove ammonia from the body. It supports endurance, recovery, detoxification, and growth hormone production, making it beneficial for athletes, endurance training, and recovery from intense workouts.


  • Ornithine helps remove ammonia, a waste product that builds up during intense exercise and contributes to muscle fatigue.
  • Improves muscle endurance in prolonged training sessions.
  • Useful for longer-duration sports like soccer, sprinting, and high-rep strength training.

Best for athletes who perform intense, extended workouts.


  • By eliminating ammonia, ornithine speeds up muscle recovery.
  • Reduces post-workout soreness (DOMS), allowing for more frequent and intense training.

Great for athletes needing faster recovery after tough workouts.


  • Ornithine, especially when taken with arginine, may stimulate growth hormone (GH) release, which supports muscle repair, fat loss, and recovery.
  • Some studies suggest higher doses before sleep can enhance natural GH production.

May benefit athletes focused on muscle recovery, strength, and lean muscle maintenance.


  • Works in the urea cycle to remove excess nitrogen and toxins.
  • Supports liver function, making it useful for athletes with high protein intake.

Good for detoxifying excess waste from intense training and high-protein diets.


  • Some studies suggest L-Ornithine can reduce stress, improve sleep quality, and reduce cortisol (stress hormone).
  • May help athletes recover better overnight.

Useful for athletes needing better sleep and recovery.


Endurance athletes (soccer players, sprinters, gymnasts).
Strength athletes (for reducing fatigue & improving workout recovery).
Athletes with high training volume (who need better ammonia clearance).
Those looking to improve growth hormone levels & recovery.
Anyone wanting better sleep & reduced stress from training.


  • Recommended dose: 2–6g per day (split into 1–2 doses).
  • Best timing:
    • Before workouts to reduce fatigue.
    • Before bed for potential GH and recovery benefits.
  • Works well with arginine, citrulline, and glutamine for endurance and recovery.

Would you consider it for your athlete’s recovery or endurance training? It could help with sprint endurance, muscle fatigue, and faster recovery between soccer games and gymnastics sessions.
