NOW Foods Arginine & Ornithine, 500/250
NOW Foods Arginine and Ornithine 500/250 is a capsule supplement pairing two complementary amino acids. Each serving provides arginine and ornithine in a 500/250 split, and the combination is well liked by athletes and active people.
Key features
- Arginine and ornithine in a 500/250 formula
- Two related amino acids in one capsule
- Involved in protein metabolism
- Capsule format in two pack sizes
Arginine is needed for the body to remove urea, which forms through a metabolic cycle that clears nitrogen compounds produced as a normal part of breaking down protein. Ornithine is made in the body from arginine and goes on to form citrulline, proline and glutamic acid.
Taking both amino acids together in one capsule keeps a sports supplement routine simple and avoids buying two separate products.
Available in 100 capsules and 250 capsules.
