How It Works
The combination of L-arginine and L-citrulline, serve several functions that assist with exercise and physical fitness goals.
Arginine is converted by the body into nitric oxide which relaxes blood vessels, is vital for healthy blood flow to the heart and organs throughout the body. Arginine is an amino acid that is best known as a growth hormone releaser. The decrease of growth hormone in the aging body is a major reason why muscle mass tends to decrease with age, and body fat tends to increase with age. Decreases in growth hormones also are partially responsible for the slower rate of skin growth with aging, which results in thinner and less flexible skin.
Citrulline helps produce more arginine which improves the overall benefits. Citrulline enhances the ammonia recycling process. It is also an effective nitric oxide booster. This amino acid is effective at fighting fatigue thereby improving endurance exercise. It does so by enhancing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, which is your body’s primary source of energy.
L-citrulline is an amino acid normally made by the body. The body converts L-citrulline to L-arginine, another type of amino acid.
L-arginine improves blood flow. It does so by creating nitric oxide (NO), a gas that helps dilate blood vessels. L-arginine has been shown to help people with heart disease or clogged arteries because of its vessel-widening abilities.
