Urea Cycle Disorders
Urea cycle disorders (UCDs) are rare, inherited conditions affecting how the body removes waste generated from the breakdown of protein. The liver of patients with a urea cycle disorder is missing an enzyme needed to convert nitrogen into urea. This results in the toxic buildup of ammonia in the bloodstream. Without treatment, high ammonia levels in the blood may lead to brain damage, coma, and eventually death.
Research has shown that one way urea cycle disorders may be managed is through dietary supplementation with amino acids such as L-citrulline and arginine. Solace Nutrition has developed Cytolline, a medical food for the dietary management of urea cycle disorders (as well as MELAS syndrome and nitric oxide production disorders). Cytolline is a pure, soluble, L-Citrulline powder.
