Ammonia Scavenger (Liver/Tox) by MethylGenetic Nutrition® provides targeted nutritional support to help the body process and eliminate excess ammonia — a by-product of protein metabolism that can impact liver, brain, and overall energy balance.
This advanced blend combines clinically studied amino acids, organic acids, and plant-based cofactors that work synergistically to:
- Support the Urea Cycle — L-Ornithine and L-Citrulline act as critical intermediates for the conversion of ammonia (NH₃) to urea.
- Promote Healthy Gut Microbiota — Larch Arabinogalactan and Yucca support digestive balance and reduce ammonia formation by optimizing protein breakdown.
- Enhance Cellular Energy — Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG) and L-Lysine contribute to the Citric Acid Cycle, supporting mitochondrial ATP production and detox pathways.
- Provide Cofactor Support — Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) functions as an enzymatic cofactor in amino acid metabolism and urea synthesis.
Ammonia accumulation can occur due to gut dysbiosis, high-protein diets, impaired liver function, or genetic variations affecting the urea cycle. Elevated ammonia levels may lead to fatigue, brain fog, irritability, or muscle weakness. This formula provides a science-based approach to support the body’s natural ammonia clearance mechanisms.*
Key Ingredients and Functions
| Ingredient | Function / Mechanism |
|---|---|
| Larch Arabinogalactan (Golden Larch) | Prebiotic fiber that supports immune and gut health; shown to bind ammonia and reduce its formation [NCBI]. |
| L-Ornithine | Initiates the urea cycle by combining with carbamoyl phosphate to produce citrulline [Texas A&M University]. |
| L-Citrulline | Converts to arginine to facilitate urea synthesis and nitric oxide production. |
| Yucca (Yucca schidigera) | Supports beneficial gut flora and protein digestion while reducing ammonia generation. |
| Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG) | Central to the Citric Acid Cycle and nitrogen metabolism; aids ammonia detox and ATP energy production. |
| L-Lysine | Essential amino acid and cofactor for synthesis of ornithine and citrulline. |
| Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCl) | Cofactor for enzymes in amino acid metabolism and ammonia detoxification. |
Suggested Use
Take 1 capsule one to two times daily or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Ammonia Scavenger (Liver/Tox) support?
Ammonia Scavenger (Liver/Tox) supports the body’s natural detoxification pathways by promoting ammonia clearance through the urea cycle and digestive balance. It contains amino acids and plant-based compounds that assist liver health and reduce ammonia buildup.*
Can Ammonia Scavenger help with brain fog or fatigue related to ammonia buildup?
Elevated ammonia can interfere with neurotransmitter balance and energy production. Ammonia Scavenger provides nutrients such as L-Ornithine, Citrulline, and Alpha-Ketoglutarate that support the urea and citric acid cycles, helping maintain mental clarity and vitality.*
Is Ammonia Scavenger gluten-free and plant-based?
Yes. Ammonia Scavenger is gluten-free and formulated with plant-based ingredients including Larch Arabinogalactan and Yucca to support digestive and immune balance.*
Can I take Ammonia Scavenger with other liver support formulas?
Yes. Ammonia Scavenger pairs well with complementary formulas such as Eco Liver, Phase 2.5 Bile Support, SER-GAB Assist, Pro SUOX, and NOS Assist for comprehensive liver and detoxification support.*
Who manufactures Ammonia Scavenger?
Ammonia Scavenger (Liver/Tox) is manufactured by MethylGenetic Nutrition®, a division of Professional Health Products®. It is made in the USA under strict quality standards and designed for healthcare practitioners.*
