Citrulline , 200 Grams Unflavored

Product Overview
FERMACEUTICAL™ GRADE
L–Citrulline is an amino acid that has been found to play an important role in nitric oxide (NO) metabolism and regulation. L-Citrulline is converted to L-Arginine in the body, leading to increases in both L-Arginine and nitric oxide. Increased production of nitric oxide promotes vascular dilation, which helps support normal oxygen and blood circulation throughout the body.*
Pharmacokinetic Advantages
The advantage of L-Citrulline is that it is not subject to any elimination by the liver prior to entering the bloodstream. Conversely, L-Arginine is subject to extensive elimination by the gut wall and liver.
The majority of L-Citrulline is converted to L-Arginine in the kidney.
Once in circulation, L-Arginine is readily converted into L-Citrulline and nitric oxide, which in turn serves as an L-Arginine precursor (see figure below).
conversion from
arg (L-arginine) to cit
absorption of l-arginine and l-citrulline
Inside intestinal tract
Consumed in the urea cycle and in biosynthesis of other substances in liver
Reaches kidney through liver, biosynthesis of ARG in Kidney (75%)
ARG supplied to the whole body
*CIT ingestion enables effective supply of ARG to the whole body
roles of cit in the body
- Influences on blood vessels: Actions via NO production, vasodilation, blood flow acceleration*
- Ammonia detoxification: Action as a component of the L-ornithine cycle*
- Antioxidant effect: An active oxygen radical scavenger (potent quencher of hydroxyl radical)*
** Citrulline Malate is mixed 1:1 (Malic Acid + L-Citrulline. basically, THE L-Citrulline is cut in half!
*** Most brands use Citrulline Malate 1:1 ratio due to cost (cheap) – 50% less per kg than pure L-Citrulline.
