I believe the Blochmannia use urea to help the Camponotus get amino acids or something like that. When looking it up it was a little too complicated for me to understand.

after 90 days feeding Camponotus with 15N tagged urea the results of it was this:
Urease function was confirmed by feeding experiments using 15N-labelled urea. GC-MS analysis of 15N-enrichment of free amino acids in workers revealed significant labelling of the non-essential amino acids alanine, glycine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid, as well as of the essential amino acids methionine and phenylalanine.
I'm not sure what type of urea is it so don't know if human urea will work out but it does actually helps
.
Edit: Sorry for still taking about it, didn't noticed the post from Drtmiller.
