Ornithine
Ornithine supports liver health and helps remove toxins. It's key in the urea cycle, aiding in the elimination of ammonia. Found in meat, fish, and dairy, ornithine is crucial for detoxification. It also aids in wound healing and tissue repair....
Description
Individuals engaged in high-intensity physical training might benefit from testing their ornithine levels, as it’s involved in the urea cycle and helps reduce ammonia in the body, which can be beneficial for athletic performance. Those with liver conditions or disorders affecting the urea cycle, as well as individuals on high-protein diets or those experiencing fatigue and sleep disturbances, could also find such testing useful.
- Fatigue and low energy
- Poor sleep quality
- Muscle weakness
- Confusion or brain fog due to elevated ammonia levels
- Digestive issues
Ornithine is not typically obtained directly from foods, as it is primarily produced in the body from arginine. However, consuming arginine-rich foods like meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy can indirectly support ornithine levels. Plant-based sources of arginine, such as nuts, seeds, and legumes, also contribute to ornithine production.
Ornithine supplementation can enhance the body’s ability to dispose of excess nitrogen and reduce fatigue, especially after exercise. It may improve sleep quality and aid in muscle recovery. Ornithine also supports liver function and can be beneficial for individuals engaging in intense physical activity or those with liver health concerns.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.
