Benefits and uses of L-Citrulline are
L-citrulline is a naturally occurring amino acid found in food, such as watermelons, and also made in the body. Our bodies change L-citrulline into another amino acid called L-Arginine and also to nitric oxide. L-citrulline might help increase the supply of ingredients the body needs to making certain proteins. It might also help open up veins and arteries to improve blood flow and reduce blood pressure. Compared to L-Arginine, l-citrulline is more easily converted into nitric oxide, especially by older people. Additionally, L-citrulline causes none of the unpleasant digestive upsets associated with l-arginine.
