L-citrulline is a non-essential amino acid produced in the liver and intestine. This means that the body can make its own citrulline; it can also be found in some foods (such as watermelon) and supplements (such as BalanceDocs Stamina). The body converts L-citrulline to L-arginine, another type of amino acid that improves blood flow and is shown to help people with heart disease, clogged arteries, and erectile dysfunction (ED).
Below are six benefits of using an L-Citrulline supplement:
1. Increased exercise capacity
Several research studies show that healthy adults who started taking L-citrulline saw an increase in exercise capacity. This is due to its ability to utilize oxygen better which boosts your workout and endurance ability.2. Increased 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, you could say there is a positive correlation between L-Citrulline and the increase of blood flow throughout the body. Increased blood flow also helps improve symptoms of erectile dysfunction (ED).
