At a glance, some of the more commonly listed side effects — including gastric discomfort, restlessness, insomnia, and diarrhea — have been reported above dosages of 10mg.
It is recommended that pregnant women and children avoid supplementation. If you have concerns about supplementing with L-Ornithine it is always best to speak to a healthcare professional. L-Ornithine is an amino acid that is naturally produced in your body that has great benefits for your strength and endurance when training, as well as playing an important role in the management of waste and the build of toxic ammonia in your body.
Presently, there are few studies to advise on the side effects of supplementation, but other benefits include helping you to sleep and managing the effects of fatigue.

What is L-Ornithine? What are the benefits of L-Ornithine? So how is it that L-Ornithine serves you so well in two seemingly distant areas? How much L-Ornithine should you take? Ornithine appears to be a very safe supplement. However, in higher doses above 6 grams , ornithine may cause diarrhea. This is especially true when combined with higher doses of arginine that can cause nitric oxide production in the colon. Based on the available research, ornithine appears to be an effective supplement that can confer performance benefits in athletes.
This is especially true for endurance athletes who may exercise strenuously for over 45 minutes. Sugino, T.

Abstract Background L-ornithine is a non-essential, non-protein amino acid. Conclusion L-ornithine supplementation has the potential to relieve stress and improve sleep quality related to fatigue, both objectively and subjectively. Keywords: L-ornithine supplementation, Stress and sleep, Clinical trial. Background Sleep is both necessary and universal. Methods Study design This study was a randomised, double-blind and placebo-controlled trial.
Study population Fifty-two apparently healthy Japanese individuals participated in this study. Measurement of serum cortisol and DHEA-S Participants were instructed not to eat breakfast after am and abstain from smoking and caffeinated drinks prior to blood sampling. Results Background information or demographic data There were no statistical differences between the two groups at baseline Table 1. Table 1 Characteristics of subjects at 0 week. Open in a separate window.
Figure 1. L-Ornithine supplementation improved sleep quality in study participants As shown in Figure 2 , the AIS score revealed a trend towards improved insomnia in both groups from 0 weeks to 8 weeks. Figure 2. Figure 3. Figure 4. Discussion Our results showed that L-ornithine supplementation had a favourable effect on the cortisol response as an objective stress marker and improved perceived mood and sleep quality related to fatigue as well as subjective feelings derived from stress.
Conclusion L-ornithine plays a central role in the urea cycle which converts ammonia to urea in the liver. Financial support This study was provided by Kirin Co. Sleep habits and susceptibility to the common cold. Arch Intern Med.
