SEVERAL SCIENTIFIC STUDIES HAVE OBSERVED LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE AND BETTER BLOOD FLOW AFTER L-CITRULLINE SUPPLEMENTATION
NITRIC OXIDE LEVELS
Nitric oxide widens blood vessels and improves blood flow. After ingestion, L-citrulline is converted to a compound called L-arginine, and L-arginine is a precursor to nitric oxide.
Insufficient nitric oxide can contribute to high blood pressure, low energy, chronic disease and erectile dysfunction.
Scientific studies have observed that L-citrulline can increase bodily levels of L-arginine and nitric oxide more than L-arginine supplements. This is because L-citrulline is better absorbed in the body.
PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT
Scientific studies have found correlations between L-citrulline and improvements in strength, power, endurance and post-workout recovery in sports such as weightlifting, cycling and tennis. Research has indicated that citrulline may increase muscle oxygen content and protein synthesis.
It's not a conincidence that L-citrulline is included in most pre-workout formulas.
Safe and Natural
L-citrulline is an amino acid naturally found in watermelons, but dietary intake is normally quite low. Our L-citrulline supplements are a convenient way to increase intake. Clinical studies have indicated that doses of L-citrulline between 5 and 10 grams are safe and most effective.
HOW L-CITRULLINE MAY REDUCE BLOOD PRESSURE
High blood pressure causes damage to artery walls. This causes a build up of plaque and cholesterol. Over years, blood cells stick to this and build blood clots which lead to heart attacks and strokes.
After ingestion and absorption, L-citrulline is converted to a compound called L-arginine, and L-arginine is a precursor to nitric oxide which dilates your arteries.
Dilated arteries allow for lower blood pressure and improved blood flow. Just a 10 millimetre of mercury drop in blood pressure reduces the chance of heart attacks by 25% and strokes by 30%.
How to use
-
One 5 gram serving per day
Take 5 grams daily, dissolved in water and stir well.
-
WITH OR WITHOUT FOOD
L-Citrulline can be taken with food or on an empty stomach. However, the impact of food on supplement absorption is often unpredictable as different compounds within food can interact with the supplement in different ways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any side effects?
Scientific research has shown that L-citrulline is well-tolerated up to 15g/day. In rare cases, amino acids such as L-citrulline may cause gastrointestinal upset. If this occurs, it is important to significantly lower the dosage.
