NOW Foods L-Citrulline 750 mg – 180 Capsules

What is L-Citrulline?

L-Citrulline is a non-essential amino acid that the body produces naturally and is also found in foods such as watermelon. It plays a key role in the urea cycle, helping to eliminate ammonia, a byproduct of protein metabolism. This NOW Foods supplement offers 750 mg per capsule in a vegan presentation, ideal for those looking to support their protein metabolism and immune system naturally.

Benefits of L-Citrulline

L-Citrulline can help maintain healthy protein metabolism by participating in ammonia elimination. In addition, it contributes to the maintenance of a normal immune system. As a precursor to arginine, it can also promote nitric oxide production, which encourages proper blood circulation. This makes it a popular supplement among athletes and active individuals.

It is important to note that the benefits mentioned are supported by the physiological function of the amino acid and do not constitute therapeutic claims. Each person may experience different results.
