Pharmacology
L-Ornithine L-Aspartate is a stable combination of two natural amino acids that the body already makes, L-Ornithine and L-Aspartate. Once it's taken, it breaks down quickly into these two parts.
L-Ornithine is a substrate of the urea cycle. It turns toxic ammonia into non-toxic urea, and the kidneys then remove the urea. This helps a diseased liver carry out its normal work smoothly (detoxification). The process brings down a raised level of ammonia in the blood (hyperammonemia), which is a common problem in most liver diseases.
L-Aspartate is an essential part of the citric acid cycle, which releases energy (ATP). Because of this, it also helps damaged liver cells to regenerate.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
L-Ornithine L-Aspartate should be avoided during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
