Uses: 3. Medical field: It can be taken orally to improve wound healing in burn patients. Ornithine ketoglutarate is added to some nutritional formulas and administered via intravenous injection to prevent growth retardation in children on long-term intravenous feeding. It can also be used via intravenous injection to help the body synthesize muscle protein after surgery or a stroke, as well as to treat brain lesions caused by liver diseases. However, intravenous administration of ornithine ketoglutarate may not be effective in treating mental function deterioration caused by liver diseases and may even worsen the condition. 4. Sports and wellness field: Although there are opinions that it may help enhance athletic performance, there is currently not enough evidence to support this claim. Nevertheless, its role in improving wound healing may be beneficial for athletes' recovery after injuries. 5. Other fields: Ornithine ketoglutarate may alter the way the body utilizes amino acids that make up proteins and can also increase insulin secretion. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels, so it may be involved in some studies and applications related to glucose metabolism.
