L-Citruline , 120 capsules , is a nutritional supplement of the American company Nutricost. The product formula includes L-citrulline in an optimal dose for one capsule.

Citrulline is a non-essential amino acid that is produced in the liver and intestines. In the human body, L-citrulline is transformed into a different amino acid called L-arginine. Arginine is converted into a molecule called nitric oxide, which causes vasodilation of blood vessels by relaxing the smooth muscle cells that are involved in building their walls. Vasodilation refers to the widening of arteries or veins and is associated with some important effects such as lowering of arterial blood pressure and increased blood flow.
An interesting fact is that consuming citrulline can increase arginine in the body more than consuming arginine itself.
Citrulline is not an amino acid used directly for protein synthesis, but it has been found to increase protein synthesis by stimulating an important signaling pathway involved in building muscle cells. Citrulline can also reduce the uptake of certain amino acids by the liver and prevent their breakdown.
Citrulline also has antioxidant properties.
Health benefits of taking L - citrulline :
Citrulline increases muscle blood flow during certain types of exercise in men. The nutritional supplement stimulates strength and endurance when performing physical exercises and improves sports performance.
Citrulline intake can lower arterial blood pressure in older adults with arterial hypertension as well as in those with prehypertension. The dietary supplement can lower systolic blood pressure and results in a significant decrease in diastolic blood pressure at higher doses.
The use of citrulline improves erection in men. L-citrulline increases L-arginine, which in turn helps increase nitric oxide production. It, in turn, promotes the relaxation of blood vessels, which results in the passage of oxygen-rich blood through the arteries. This is why we say that L-arginine promotes good heart function, but is also important for erectile function due to its properties to stimulate blood flow.
Taking citrulline can relieve some symptoms caused by sickle cell disease. The nutritional supplement can help reduce the pain associated with this disease. L-Citrulline acts as a vasodilator - it widens the veins and arteries to help improve blood flow.
