For you, if you want to support muscle strength and recovery after exercise

The formula of Arginine Ornithine Powder can:

  • Support healthy muscle recovery 
  • Help promote muscle mass 
  • Encourage a healthy immune response 
  • Promote healthy endothelial function 
  • Help maintain already-healthy blood pressure levels

Exercising regularly promotes whole-body health and longevity, but muscle soreness can make it difficult to maintain an exercise routine. The amino acids in Arginine Ornithine Powder have been shown to support muscle mass, health and recovery after exercise — and have other potent whole-body health benefits as well. Arginine and ornithine are protein-building amino acids that promote muscle strength and recovery after exercise.

L-arginine and ornithine benefits

The amino acids drginine and ornithine have been found to support muscle mass and strength, and promote healthy body composition in exercising adults. (1-3) 

But that’s not all they can do:

  • L-arginine is a semi-essential amino acid known for its role in the production of nitric oxide (NO). Arginine is converted to nitric oxide by your immune cells and the endothelial cells that line your blood vessels. Because of this, arginine can promote vascular relaxation, help maintain already-healthy blood pressure levels, and encourage a healthy immune response. (4,5)

  • L-ornithine is a non-essential amino acid that the body actually makes out of arginine. Our cells use ornithine to produce proline, which is needed for collagen formation, as well as nitrogen-based compounds called polyamines that help support gene expression and promote healthy cell growth, division and survival. (6-8)

Both arginine and ornithine can help your cells convert ammonia, an unwanted byproduct of protein metabolism (such as after exercise), into urea, a compound that can be safely excreted via the kidneys. (7)
