Product Details
L-Citrulline plays a major role in several important amino acid pathways that help support creatine formation, which is an important factor in muscle energy and body composition. It is a precursor to L-Arginine involved in removal of toxic urea and boosting Nitric Oxide, an important factor in blood flow and cardiovascular health. Although non-essential, research supports that supplementation of L-Citrulline plays an important role in weight training and other high intensity athletics in aerobic and non-aerobic activities.
L-Citrulline is a naturally occurring non-essential amino acid. L-Citrulline is not used in protein synthesis directly, but it has several important functions with respect to amino acid and protein metabolism. It is involved in the formation of urea in the liver; and the synthesis and elimination of urea is essential for removing toxic protein metabolites from the body. Its functions along with Arginine and Ornithine to rid the body of ammonia (urea), a byproduct of protein metabolism. This can help buffer lactic acid levels and reduce muscle fatigue, which is extremely important in both weight training and endurance sports. In addition, L-Citrulline facilitates protein synthesis for muscle tissue retention and helps to maintain healthy protein balance. As a precursor of Arginine, it provides a readily available source material for Arginine production, which in turn, can be used for the production of Nitric Oxide (NO). NO plays a fundamental role in vascular function and blood flow.
