Description Of L-Citrulline
L-citrulline is an amino acid that is produced naturally by the body and is found in the heart, muscles, and brain tissue. It is used as an essential intermediate in the biosynthesis of nitric oxide from L-arginine . It is also used as a nutritional drink and biochemical reagent.
Health Benefits
1. L-citrulline can increase exercise capacity
It has been shown in several research studies that healthy adults who started taking L-citrulline saw an increase in exercise capacity. This is due to its ability to utilize your oxygen better which boosts your workout and endurance ability.
2. It increases blood flow
Nitric oxide plays an important role in regulating blood flow. Since higher levels of L-Citrulline have been shown to increase Nitric Oxide levels, we see a positive correlation between L-Citrulline and the increase of blood flow throughout the body.
3. L-Citrulline decreases blood pressure
We live in a time of information overload and a constant state of “being busy” which many people perceive as “stress”. When we get in these states of stress, we breathe shallow, which results in our pressure going up and our bodies getting tense. Over time, this becomes our new normal and we live with our blood pressure consistently sky-high.
Many studies have shown that L-citrulline helps decrease high blood pressure and increase nitric oxide levels. Nitric oxide causes blood vessels to dilate, which lowers blood pressure. In turn, the blood pressure will decrease. This is especially important because people who appear healthy and fit on the outside are often experiencing higher blood pressures.
4. Improved cardiac function and erectile dysfunction
There have been direct links that show L-citrulline improves the function of both the right and left ventricles as well as endothelial function. We also see an improvement in erectile dysfunction due to the increase in blood and oxygen utilization.
5. Enhanced cognition & brain performance
The most common killer of cells is a lack of oxygen in our bodies. As previously mentioned, L-Citrulline helps utilize and maximize oxygen and blood flow throughout our bodies. When we are utilizing more oxygen, our cognitive function goes up and our brains perform at a higher level.
6. Boosts immunity
L-citrulline supplementation has been linked to the ability to fight infection by boosting our immune system and allowing our bodies to help fight foreign invaders naturally.
Uses Of L-Arginine
L-arginine is an amino acid that helps the body build protein. Your body usually makes all the L-arginine it needs. L-arginine is also found in most protein-rich foods, including fish, red meat, poultry, soy, whole grains, beans and dairy products. As a supplement, L-arginine can be used orally and topically.
L-arginine is a chemical building block called "an amino acid." It is obtained from the diet and is necessary for the body to make proteins. L-arginine is found in red meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products. It can also be made in a laboratory and used as medicine.
L-arginine is most commonly used for recovery after surgery, a pregnancy complication marked by high blood pressure and protein in the urine (pre-eclampsia), and heart and blood vessel conditions, such as chest pain (angina) and high blood pressure. It is also used for many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support many of these uses.
