Abstract
A nutritional composition is provided that is low ammoniagenic, scavenges ammonia well, and yet does not contribute to excess nitric oxide production. The nutritional composition includes an amino acid profile having less than 20 percent of the total amino acids as ammoniagenic amino acids. The nutritional composition also includes less than 0.2 percent of the total amino acids as arginine and at least 0.2 percent of the total amino acids as ornithine and/citrulline.
