- NOW Sports Arginine & Orthinine NOW Sports Arginine & Orthinine combines two essential amino acids into one optimal supplement. Arginine is necessary for urea metabolism, a process that prepares toxic ammonia for safe excretion by the kidneys. Ornithine is synthesized from Arginine and is a precursor of citruline, proline and glutamic acid. Both of these amino acids are popular with athletes and other active individuals. What is the source of NOW L-Arginine? L-Arginine, like most amino acids, is a natural form of amino that is commonly produced by a simple fermentation process. It is a vegetarian/vegan product that is hypoallergenic. NOW's Mission The NOW mission is - To provide value in products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives. NOW Foods is an award-winning and highly respected manufacturer of vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements and natural foods. In 1948, with the natural food and supplement industry in its infancy, entrepreneur Paul Richard paid $900 for the purchase of Fearn Soya Foods—a Chicago based manufacturer of grain and legume-based products. This began a six-decade legacy of providing health-seeking consumers with high-quality, affordable nutrition products.
