Orotic acid, also known as vitamin B13, is a nutrient. In the field of medicine, Orotic acid and its derivatives have good therapeutic effects on jaundice hepatitis, fatty liver, and acute and chronic hepatitis. As a nutritional cosmetic matrix, Orotic acid can be well absorbed by the skin, promote cell metabolism, and significantly inhibit skin aging. It has applications in the fields of food and life sciences.
Orotic acid has the effects and functions of reducing blood ammonia levels, improving liver function, regulating blood lipids, promoting brain development and health, and enhancing immunity.
1. Reduce blood ammonia levels
Orotic acid reduces the conversion of blood ammonia to urea by inhibiting key enzymes involved in urea synthesis in the liver, thereby lowering blood ammonia levels.
2. Improve liver function
Orotic acid can increase the survival rate of liver cells, reduce liver cell damage, and thereby improve liver function.
3. Regulate blood lipids
Orotic acid can reduce the content of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and increase the content of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, which has a certain lipid-lowering effect.
4. Promote brain development and health
Orotic acid can promote the growth and development of neurons, and has a certain protective effect on neurons, which is beneficial for brain health.
5. Enhance immunity
Orotic acid can promote macrophage activation, increase the body's antigen phagocytic ability, and thus enhance the body's immune response.
