Description
DHC Ornithine, 20-Day Supply — 100 Capsules, Ornithine 1002.9 mg a Day
Overview
Five capsules a day supply 1280 mg of L-ornithine hydrochloride, which DHC states as 1002.9 mg of ornithine, plus arginine 300 mg and lysine 40 mg. 100 capsules, five a day, 20 days.
Those are two different numbers and the second is the one that compares. 1280 mg is the salt; 1002.9 mg is the ornithine in it. Listings usually print the salt figure because it is bigger. Both are on this page, labelled, so you can put this product next to any other and know you are comparing like with like.
The second thing worth knowing: this is not a single-ingredient product. There is arginine and there is lysine in the capsule as well. That matters to anyone who has a reason to keep arginine down. And DHC declares the ornithine raw material as made in Taiwan and Japan — worth saying on a storefront whose proposition is Japanese sourcing, because "from Japan" describes where we ship from.

Who Is This For?
- People who already take ornithine and want to compare doses on the ornithine figure rather than the salt figure
- Anyone who wants to try a twenty-day pack before committing to a larger one
- People who eat shijimi clams for the same reason and would rather have the quantity on a label
- Anyone who wants the arginine and lysine content disclosed rather than discovered
- Not for: anyone avoiding gelatin; anyone with a reason to limit arginine; anyone avoiding titanium dioxide; anyone expecting a health effect, because none is claimed or permitted; and anyone pregnant, breastfeeding or under medical treatment without asking a doctor first.
How to Use
- Take five capsules a day.
- Swallow them with water or lukewarm water.
- You may split the five across the day; DHC's serving is a daily total, not a single dose.
- Remember the pack is twenty days, not thirty, when you plan a reorder.
- Do not exceed the stated daily serving. More is not better with this formula. Store away from direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, and out of the reach of children.
Frequency: Daily, five capsules in total

DHC benchmarks the ornithine content against roughly 2,300 shijimi clams. That is DHC's own comparison and we pass it on as such: it is a statement about quantity, not about what the product does.
Contains titanium dioxide (E171) as part of the colorant. Titanium dioxide has not been authorised as a food additive in the European Union since 2022; it remains permitted in Japan, where this product is made and sold. We state this plainly because these packs are shipped into the EU.
The capsule shell is gelatin, so this is not a vegetarian or vegan product. DHC does not declare the animal source of the gelatin on the pack, so we cannot confirm halal status either way.
This product carries no function-claim category in Japan — it is not a nutrient function claim food and not a food with function claims. It is a plain food, and there is nothing anyone is permitted to tell you it does.

Cautions
- This is a food, not a medicine. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it is not a substitute for a varied diet or for medical advice.
- Contains gelatin. Not suitable for vegetarians or vegans, and DHC does not declare the animal source, so halal status cannot be confirmed.
- Contains arginine 300 mg and lysine 40 mg as well as the ornithine. If you have been advised to limit arginine, this is not a single-amino-acid product and you should treat it accordingly.
- Contains titanium dioxide in the colorant, which has not been authorised as a food additive in the European Union since 2022.
- If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, breastfeeding, under medical treatment or taking prescribed medicine, ask a doctor before taking this. Stop taking it and speak to a doctor if you feel unwell after use.
- Store away from direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, and out of the reach of children.

FAQ
Is it 1280 mg or 1002.9 mg of ornithine?
1002.9 mg. The 1280 mg is L-ornithine hydrochloride, the salt, and 1002.9 mg is the ornithine within it. Compare products on the second figure.
What else is in the capsule?
Arginine 300 mg and lysine 40 mg per daily serving, plus gelatin, glycerin fatty acid ester, silicon dioxide and a caramel-and-titanium-oxide colorant. It is not a single-ingredient product.
Is the ornithine made in Japan?
DHC declares the ornithine hydrochloride as made in Taiwan and Japan. The capsule is manufactured in Japan and we ship it from Kobe.
What is the clam comparison about?
DHC compares the ornithine content to roughly 2,300 shijimi clams. It is DHC's own quantity comparison. It says nothing about what the product does, and neither do we.
How long does the pack last?
Twenty days. It holds 100 capsules and the serving is five a day, which is worth checking against any thirty-day product you are comparing on price.
