L-Ornithine is an important amino acid known to be a powerful stimulator of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) in the pituitary gland. Like the amino acid arginine, ornithine is nutritionally useful in helping the body promote the growth of muscle and other tissue, strengthening the body's natural defense system.

Ornithine is often combined with arginine and marketed to body builders as a muscle-building supplement. Laboratory studies have shown significant benefit with L-ornithine. It increases both insulin and growth hormone levels, which are needed to build and maintain muscle during intensive physical training. Another benefit of L-ornithine is that it can help combat the muscle loss that is a normal part of the aging process. As the body ages, it is less efficient at synthesizing proteins and can’t regenerate muscle tissue as quickly—strength and muscularity begin to decline. By helping to elevate growth hormone levels, ornithine may help speed the production of muscle tissue and offset the effects of aging. Although both arginine and ornithine help protect and build muscle mass, ornithine is generally thought to be twice as effective at stimulating growth hormone production as arginine, so a combination supplement is not necessary if you wish to use ornithine for this purpose.  

Another benefit of L-ornithine is that it helps remove toxic ammonia from the liver, and may reduce the effects of cirrhosis of the liver and disorders associated with liver malfunction. In one study, participants taking 18 grams of ornithine aspartate for two weeks showed significant improvement in blood tests and liver function compared to the placebo group.

Research has also shown that L-ornithine helps promote healing and tissue repair. Clinical studies reported that taking 10 grams of ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) each day helped reduce the length of hospital stays for those recovering from surgery, generalized infections, cancer, trauma, and burns. 

Since ornithine is a nonessential amino acid, the body is able to produce its own supply. You can also get ornithine from your diet; meat, fish, dairy products, and eggs are also good sources of this nutrient. Few people are deficient in ornithine unless they are extremely malnourished or have a disorder that disrupts the citric acid cycle. However, supplementing  to receive the benefit of L-ornithine - increasing muscle content or fighting the effects of aging - is not a bad idea.
