L-Arginine is thought to be involved in the production of nitric oxide, which helps to dilate blood vessels and improve blood flow to the extremities. As a result, many people find that it can promote normal circulation and vascular health. As an amino acid, it also supports the maintenance of muscle mass. While it is possible to get sufficient levels of L-Arginine from the diet, many people find the added security of an arginine supplement to be beneficial, particularly those who live active lifestyles.
Ornithine is an amino acid that plays a role in the urea cycle. Ornithine is abnormally accumulated in the body in ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency. -Ornithine is one of the products of the action of the enzyme arginase on -arginine, creating urea. Therefore, ornithine is a central part of the urea cycle, which allows for the disposal of excess nitrogen. Ornithine is recycled and, in a manner, is a catalyst. First, ammonia is converted into carbamoyl phosphate. Ornithine is converted into a urea derivative at the δ nitrogen by carbamoyl phosphate. Another nitrogen is added from aspartate, producing the denitrogenated fumarate, and the resulting arginine is hydrolysed back to ornithine, producing urea. The nitrogens of urea come from the ammonia and aspartate, and the nitrogen in ornithine remains intact
