L-Arginine + L-Citruline Supplement
- A L-citrulline supplement paired with L-arginine for nitric oxide production
- Two amino acids that support blood flow and blood vessels
- Supports protein metabolism and muscle maintenance
- Aids ammonia handling through the urea cycle
- One capsule twice daily with water
L-arginine and L-citrulline are two amino acids involved in protein metabolism and the maintenance of muscle tissue. Both are key intermediates in the urea cycle, where they help with the detoxification of ammonia through the production of urea. Arginine not converted to urea enters general circulation, where it is distributed to tissues and used for protein synthesis.
Arginine is a precursor to nitric oxide, which supports blood flow through the blood vessels during exercise. Citrulline is converted to arginine in the body, which extends arginine availability for nitric oxide production and assists with ammonia removal through the urea cycle. This conversion is why a citrulline supplement is often used to raise L-citrulline levels and support arginine more effectively than taking arginine alone.
SUGGESTED USE:
As a dietary supplement, take one (1) capsule twice daily with 8 to 12 oz of water or as directed by your healthcare professional.
Why L-Citrulline for Nitric Oxide and Blood Flow
- How it Works: L-citrulline converts to arginine in the body, which the body uses to make nitric oxide. Nitric oxide relaxes blood vessels and supports blood circulation, which is the basis for the “pump” lifters notice during training.
- The Exercise Angle: Research on citrulline supplementation points to support for blood flow and muscular endurance during exercise, which is why it appears in sports nutrition and pre-workout formulas.
- Blood Pressure: Because nitric oxide supports vessel dilation, citrulline is studied for its effect on blood pressure. Anyone with a health condition or on blood-pressure medication should talk to a doctor before starting.
- What it Supports in Training: Steady blood flow to working muscles helps with athletic performance and muscle function during longer sessions, which is why lifters use L-citrulline supplements around their workouts.
- Pairing it: This stacks well with other nitric oxide products like Amp3d™, though watch total stimulant and dose overlap if you run more than one.
