Urea
Overview
Urea is the colorless, crystalline end product of the Urea Cycle - it is manufactured within the Liver and consists of Nitrogen combined with Carbon and Oxygen derived from Carbon Dioxide.
Urea is excreted from the body via the Urine. Urine contains large quantities of Urea and Urea is one of the main active ingredients responsible for the effectiveness of Urine Therapy. Urea is a constituent of some Cosmetics/Cosmeceutical moisturizing creams and lotions.
