L-Ornithine 500 mg. 100 Capsules

For many years scientists have been exploring the ability of some nutrients to restore growth hormone (GH) levels to more youthful levels. As we age less GH is secreted from the pituitary gland. However it has been fount that certain amino acids and vitamins can stimulate the release of GH from the pituitary in many people. L-Ornithine is one of these amino acids.

L-Ornithine has been shown to:

Stimulate GH release, which in turn
Stimulates the body to burn fat
Increase muscle mass and skin thickness
Improve immune function
enhance wound healing and repair damaged tissue

Caution: Because growth hormone depletes potassium and opposes the actions of insulin, diabetics and borderline diabetics should use GH releasers with care. L-arginine and L-ornithine may improve or worsen a diabetic condition. Persons who have not completed their bone growth (children and teenagers) and pregnant or lactating women should not use GH releasers except under a physician’s supervision. L-arginine and L-ornithine sometimes reactivate latent herpes virus infections. Therefore, persons who have ever had ocular or brain herpes should not use these products. Those with certain psychoses may experience worsened symptoms if they take L-arginine or L-ornithine supplements.
