CITRULLINE

Fermaceutical grade 
L-CITRULLINE

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 pharmacokinetic 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. (26)

The majority of L-Citrulline is converted to L-Arginine in the kidney. (3)

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). (10)

CONVERSION FROM ARG (L-ARGININE) TO CIT

ABSORPTION OF L-ARGININE AND L-CITRULLINE

*Citrulline ingestion enables effective supply of Arginine to the whole body

ROLES OF Citrulline
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.
