HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ornithine 500 mg by Dr. Clark Store

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: L-ornithine, an amino acid, at 500 mg per capsule. The capsule itself is made from plant-based tapioca.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Ornithine's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Enhances sleep quality.
  • We looked for evidence on: Insomnia, Sleep disturbance, Sleep onset latency, Sleep maintenance.
  • The closest evidence on file: Ornithine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Insomnia (Natural Medicines).

L-ornithine is possibly effective for athletic performance according to the evidence we hold. For dry skin, insomnia, and periodontitis (gum inflammation and infection), the research available isn't strong enough yet to say whether it helps — the evidence is insufficient.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Ornithine

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

L-ornithine is generally well tolerated in the short term, but we don't have much data on what happens if you take it for years. Long-term safety hasn't been well studied, so that's worth keeping in mind if you're thinking about ongoing use.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know it's safe in those situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for L-ornithine.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.

If you're looking to support athletic performance, L-ornithine may be worth trying. Just know that long-term safety isn't well established, and it's not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it fits your situation.

Does Ornithine 500 mg by Dr. Clark Store interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Ornithine 500 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Ornithine 500 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is ornithine safe to take long-term?
Ornithine is generally well tolerated in the short term, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied. If you're thinking about taking it regularly for months or years, it's a good idea to discuss that with your doctor or pharmacist.
Can I take ornithine while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against ornithine during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough data to know it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
What is L-ornithine used for?
L-ornithine is an amino acid. The evidence suggests it may help with athletic performance. For dry skin, insomnia, and gum disease, there isn't enough reliable research yet to say whether it works.
Are there any side effects from ornithine?
No adverse effects are listed in the data we hold for L-ornithine. That doesn't mean none occur — just that we don't have that information on file. If you notice anything unusual after taking it, let your doctor or pharmacist know.
What's in the capsule besides ornithine?
The capsule is made from plant-based tapioca. There are no added fillers or binders — just the active ingredient and the capsule material itself.
