Ornithine is a non-essential amino acid that works alongside arginine and citrulline in the urea cycle, the pathway the body uses to clear ammonia produced during protein metabolism. Because the body can convert ornithine into arginine, it helps support healthy arginine levels.
Ornithine can also be converted into other compounds, including citrulline, proline, glutamate, and creatine, a key muscular energy source.
