Description
D-Ornithine monohydrochloride is the monohydrochloride form of D-Ornithine. D-ornithine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid involved in the urea cycle by the splitting off of urea from arginine. Ornithine supplementation can attenuate fatigue in increasing the efficiency of energy consumption and promoting the excretion of ammonia.
