别名: Citrulline, Citrulline Malate, L-Citrulline DL-Malate
About
L-Citrulline is converted to L-arginine in the kidneys, bypassing hepatic first-pass metabolism and maintaining sustained plasma arginine levels more effectively than direct arginine supplementation. A 2019 meta-analysis of 7 RCTs found L-citrulline at 3-6g/day significantly reduced systolic blood pressure by 4.1 mmHg.
How It Works
Converted to L-arginine in the kidneys bypassing hepatic first-pass metabolism, maintaining sustained plasma arginine levels; this recycling pathway maintains nitric oxide production more effectively than direct arginine supplementation; citrulline also buffers ammonia during high-demand cardiac states.
