Product Description
L-ornithine-L-aspartate (LOLA) is a stable salt of two natural nonessential L-amino acids: ornithine and aspartic acid. It is formulated and marketed in low and high doses. Low doses are used as a food supplement and high doses (above 5 g) as a medicinal product to lower blood ammonia concentration and to eliminate symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy associated with liver cirrhosis. The aim of this review is to present physiological roles of L-ornithine and L-aspartate in the human body, to assess conditions under which these amino acids could be deficient, to analyze consequences of these deficiencies
