Re: Hepatic encephalopathy and Ornithine study

I got the mag/pot aspartate/w taurine from iherb, that you had given me the link for. I'm not sure of what dosage to take, I've been taking several capsules 2x a day. Also got the L-Ornithine from there.

I just found that they have the Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate powder-

from iherb:
Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate, or OKG, is a combination of the amino acid ornithine and alpha-ketoglutaric acid (AKG). AKG is an important component in the Krebs cycle, the chief energy producing cycle in the body. Free-form ornithine is used by athletes and those who want to improve performance. OKG spares muscles the need to break down their BCAA's (branch chain amino acids) in order to generate glutamine, an important energy fuel. Glutamine is generated when AKG combines with ammonia released during intense muscle activity.

In clinical studies on people hospitalized for surgery, generalized infections, cancer, trauma, or burns, supplementation with ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) has been reported to produce several beneficial effects
