Because Ornithine is converted into \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eArginine, it can help to maintain healthy Arginine levels in the body. Ornithine can \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003ealso be converted into other amino acids, such as citrulline, proline, and glutamate, as \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003ewell as creatine, an important muscular energy source.
