L-Citrulline is a non-essential amino acid that the body can produce on its own. However, taking it orally seems to boost its effectiveness. Whether synthesized internally or ingested, L-Citrulline is utilized by the body to convert into Arginine, which is crucial for various aspects of human physiology.
Beneficial for both strength and endurance athletes, L-Citrulline promotes increased peripheral blood flow to active muscles, allowing for better delivery of oxygenated blood during exercise. For endurance athletes, this results in enhanced nutrient distribution and more efficient removal of metabolic waste. For those focused on lifting, it may contribute to muscle growth by increasing fascial stretching and sarcoplasmic volume, along with improved overall performance.
One of the advantages of L-Citrulline is that it doesn’t break down in the stomach; instead, it enters the bloodstream to work more effectively than Arginine itself. Additionally, L-Citrulline has been associated with improved ammonia clearance during exercise, a harmful byproduct of fatigue. When combined with malic acid, L-Citrulline Malate appears to further enhance ATP regeneration in the body’s energy system, known as the Krebs Cycle.
For optimal results, consider taking up to 10g daily, or 5-8g in the pre-workout phase.
