Pure Encapsulations® Arginine Ornithine – Amino Acid Combination for Targeted Dietary Supplementation

Additional product information

Pure Encapsulations® Arginine Ornithine combines the two amino acids L-arginine and L-ornithine in a convenient capsule form. Both amino acids are closely linked and play an important role in the body's nitrogen metabolism.

L-arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid. L-ornithine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid and an important component of the urea cycle.

The vegan formula is suitable for targeted supplementation of amino acid intake, especially in cases of increased demand or regular physical activity.

Features and benefits

• Two amino acids: Combination of L-arginine and L-ornithine.

• Nitrogen metabolism: Both amino acids are involved in the body's urea cycle.

• L-arginine: Component of proteins and precursor for the formation of nitric oxide (NO).

• L-ornithine: Non-proteinogenic amino acid with an important function in the urea cycle.

• Sports nutrition: To supplement amino acid intake during physical exertion.

• Convenient capsule form: Easy to take and dose.

• Vegan: Free from animal-derived ingredients.

L-arginine – Conditionally essential amino acid

L-arginine is a protein-building amino acid that the body can generally produce itself.

In certain stages of life, for example during growth or under special metabolic stress, the body's own production may not be sufficient.

L-arginine is involved, among other things, in the formation of nitric oxide (NO), an endogenous messenger substance that plays a role in regulating vascular tone.

Arginine is also a component of the urea cycle.

L-ornithine – Component of the urea cycle

L-ornithine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid. This means that it is not directly used as a building block of the body's proteins.

It is formed, among other things, during the metabolism of L-arginine and plays an important role in the urea cycle.

This metabolic pathway takes place mainly in the liver and serves to convert ammonia into urea, which is then excreted by the kidneys.

Arginine and ornithine in metabolism

L-arginine and L-ornithine are linked via the urea cycle.

During this process, ornithine and urea are formed from arginine, among other things. Ornithine is then incorporated back into the metabolic cycle.

Both amino acids thus perform important physiological functions in nitrogen metabolism.

Arginine ornithine in physical activity

Arginine-ornithine combinations are frequently used in sports nutrition.

The two amino acids are involved in normal metabolic processes. However, additional intake does not automatically lead to improved training performance, greater muscle growth, or faster recovery if nutrient intake is already sufficient.

Important information

Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Keep out of reach of young children and store in a cool, dry place.

If you have kidney or liver disease, consult a doctor before taking this product.

Interactions: L-arginine may affect blood pressure. Therefore, special caution is advised when taking blood pressure-lowering medications, nitrates, or PDE-5 inhibitors such as sildenafil.

If you have low blood pressure, have recently suffered a heart attack, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should only take this product after consulting a doctor.
