Functional and Usage:
L Citrulline is an amino acid that converts to L-arginine and then nitric oxide in your bloodstream.
Nitric oxide is involved in vasodilation (or simply put, dilation of the blood vessels);
low levels have been associated with mental and physical fatigue and sexual disorders.
L-Citrulline also promotes healthier skin and immune functions, and is part of the Urea Cycle
it assists in converting ammonia to urea in your liver, which offers protection against damage
and helps keep your liver functioning properly.
