Ornithine for nitric oxide, energy, muscle recovery, growth, immune function and fat burning

Ornithine

Ornithine is an amino acid that serves as a precursor to arginine, leucine and glutamine. Ornithine increases nitric oxide production, energy, muscle recovery, and growth. In addition it's ability to help the body manage ammonia it blunts fatigue and muscle breakdown. Ornithine also supports immune function and fat burning.

Ornithine is often combined with arginine to boost growth hormone.

Inulin and Beta-Glucan Stack to Beat the Fat


Stack

1 Serving of Swanson Ultra Inulin Powder

1 Capsule of Swanson BetaRight Beta Glucans

Beware - Inulin or any fiber can cause gas....go slow.

Excerpt from Suppversity:

Whether having 10% of your diet in form of inulin, or to make this more conceivable, having 1 tablespoon of plain inulin for every 9 tablespoons of whatever else you eat is either feasible or reasonable, is a whole different story (to put that into perspective: The average inulin intake of Westerners is 1-10g per day (van Loo. 1995). Even 10g would yet only be enough if you ate only 100g of food within 24h!)... and I must forewarn you, if you go by the fecal volume of the mice in the Arora study, it is possible that you will spend >3x more time on the toilette than usual.

Inulin & Beta Glucan Reduce Body Fat Gain By -50% & -33%! Both Have Similar Effects on the Gut Microbiome, But Only Inulin Appears to Be More Than An Appetite Suppressant
