L-Ornithine - For Detox, Liver Health & Athletic Recovery

About L-Ornithine

Support detox pathways, physical recovery, and restorative sleep with our L-Ornithine Supplements collection at Coal Harbour Pharmacy. L-Ornithine is a non-essential amino acid central to the urea cycle, helping the body eliminate excess nitrogen and reduce ammonia buildup — a key process for liver health, endurance, and post-exercise recovery. Commonly used by athletes and wellness-focused individuals, L-Ornithine may also support growth hormone release and deeper sleep when taken in the evening.

What Is L-Ornithine?

L-Ornithine is an amino acid involved in detoxification through the urea cycle, where it helps convert ammonia (a toxic by-product of protein metabolism) into urea for safe excretion. This makes it especially valuable for people with high-protein diets, intense training routines, or those seeking liver and metabolic support.
