ALLNUTRITION CITRULLINE is a combination of the amino acid L-citrulline and malate (malic acid). Citrulline malate helps maintain ATP levels by reducing excess lactate for better muscle recovery after training.
Function and use of Citrulline:
CITRULLINE is an endogenous non-protein building amino acid, created in the human body from ornithine. Citrulline occurs naturally in food, e.g. in watermelons. Adequate availability of citrulline is necessary for the urea cycle to take place properly, and its efficient progress enables the elimination of ammonia, a by-product of amino acid metabolism, which is of additional importance in high-protein diets..
Citrulline is also a precursor of arginine, the amino acid from which nitric oxide is formed, as well as a metabolite of changes occurring with its participation. So its potential and possible use in supplementation are quite broad.
