Product Features & Manufacturing Advantages

1. Advanced Metabolic Support Mechanism

L-Ornithine is a central component of the urea cycle. Our HCl form efficiently supports the liver's conversion of ammonia—a metabolic waste product linked to exercise fatigue and metabolic stress—into harmless urea, promoting systemic detoxification and metabolic efficiency.

2. Superior Formulation Performance

The hydrochloride salt offers unmatched advantages for manufacturers:

• High Solubility: Ensures easy integration into clear liquid shots, powdered drink mixes, and effervescent tablets.
• Enhanced Stability: Protects the amino acid from degradation, guaranteeing labeled potency throughout your product's shelf life, even when blended with sensitive Natural Colorants or Freeze Dried Fruit Powder.
• Excellent Flowability: Optimized particle size ensures consistent blending and trouble-free tableting or encapsulation processes.

3. Dual-Action Health Benefits

Beyond ammonia clearance, L-Ornithine serves as a precursor to compounds like L-proline and polyamines, supporting collagen synthesis, tissue repair, and cellular health. This makes it a versatile ingredient for joint health formulas when combined with ingredients like our Oral Sodium Hyaluronate.

4. Hersoncare's Quality Guarantee

Produced through state-of-the-art fermentation and purification in our ISO9001 & FSSC 22000 certified facilities. Our rigorous quality control, from raw material sourcing to finished product, guarantees the batch-to-batch consistency and traceability demanded by global brands.

How to Formulate with L-Ornithine HCl: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Step 1: Define Application & Dosage

   Determine your target market. Typical daily dosages range from 500-2000mg for sports recovery to 1000-3000mg for liver support formulas. Consider synergistic stacks, such as combining with Antioxidants Raw Materials like Phytic Acid for enhanced cellular protection.

2. Step 2: Select Delivery Format

   This ingredient is highly versatile:

   • Powders: Blend uniformly with carriers like Food Grade Trehalose for stability and taste masking.
   • Capsules/Tablets: Excellent compressibility with standard excipients.
   • Liquids: Highly soluble; ideal for shots and drink concentrates.
3. Step 3: Build Synergistic Matrices

   Maximize efficacy through strategic combinations:

   • Sports Performance: Pair with L-carnitine USP Standard and BCAAs for energy & recovery.
   • Liver Health: Combine with milk thistle Plant Extract and L Histidine Monohydrochloride for comprehensive support.
   • General Wellness: Integrate into blends with Vitamins and Minerals for metabolic cofactor support.
4. Step 4: Conduct Stability & Compatibility Testing

   Perform standard ICH stability studies. Due to its slight hygroscopicity, ensure proper packaging (desiccant use recommended) and test compatibility with all co-ingredients in your specific formula.
