Ingredients / L-Citrulline
L-Citrulline
L-citrulline increases nitric oxide production, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles. This promotes greater endurance and reduces fatigue by helping remove metabolic byproducts such as ammonia and lactate
Effects
Here are some of the beneficial effects of L-citrulline that improve physical performance.
Reduces fatigue and improves endurance
By improving blood flow, L-citrulline helps clear ammonia and lactate from the muscles, two exercise byproducts that can cause fatigue and reduce performance when they build up. (1, 2)
Increases nitric oxide production
L-citrulline is converted into L-arginine in the kidneys, which then participates in nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. Nitric oxide is a vasodilator. This improved vasodilation leads to better blood flow throughout the body, including the muscles. Improved blood flow ensures more oxygen and nutrients are delivered to working muscles, which can improve performance and endurance. (3)
