You can get 25% off on L-ornithine here:


"L-Ornithine - An amino acid that plays an important part in the formation of urea which is needed to remove ammonia from the body. It is recommended over both L-Arginine and L-Carnitine for removing ammonia from the brain because the brain lacks the Ornithine-related enzyme for neutralizing ammonia. When using L-Ornithine, one should start out slow and increase as the dosages become more tolerable. Too much L-Ornithine at once may result in brain fog and cognitive impairment which may be the result of unwarranted rapid removal of ammonia from the brain."


"Ammonia levels can be decreased by reducing intestinal production (lactulose, rifaximin, diet), L-ornithine, prebiotic, and probiotic supplementation <227>, as well as by supplementation with zinc and L-carnosine. "

"Administration of L-ornithine L-aspartate (LOLA) improves mental status and decreases serum and spinal fluid ammonia levels by stimulating both the urea cycle and glutamine (Gln) synthesis, which are key metabolic pathways in ammonia detoxification."


"Studies have shown that orally administered L-ornithine reduced the stress response in animals."
