L-Ornithine

Dr. Clark recommended the amino acid ornithine in the course of the cleansing, because it degrades ammonia in the liver, which, according to Dr. Clark, is released when microorganisms die. Dr. Clark believed that difficulty sleeping was mainly due to ammonia toxicity in the brain. L-ornithine is a key compound in the urea cycle, one of the body's main processes for eliminating ammonia.*

Supplementation with ornithine as a sleep aid can be continued without harmful effects or potential of addiction, as with pharmaceutical sleep aids.*
