Ornithine
An amino acid made by our body but not used to build proteins: it is a key step of the urea cycle, through which the liver turns ammonia into urea for excretion, and it is the precursor of polyamines. This family brings together the active ingredient and other impurities.
Did you know?It was discovered in 1877 by Max Jaffe in chicken droppings, while studying how birds excrete benzoic acid: hence its name, from the Greek ornis, bird.
