L-Citrulline
L-Citrulline is a non-essential amino acid produced in the urea cycle that serves as an indirect but highly efficient precursor to L-Arginine and subsequent nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. Unlike direct L-Arginine supplementation, Citrulline avoids extensive first-pass hepatic metabolism, resulting in higher and more sustained plasma arginine and NO elevation. Research consistently demonstrates that Citrulline supplementation improves high-intensity exercise capacity, reduces muscle soreness, and enhances blood flow and oxygen delivery to working muscles.

Key Benefits
- Superior NO precursor — bypasses hepatic first-pass metabolism for higher plasma arginine elevation.
- Clinically demonstrated reductions in exercise-induced muscle soreness (DOMS) at 6–8g doses.
- Improves time-to-exhaustion and repetition performance in high-intensity resistance training.
- Reduces ammonia accumulation in muscle during exercise, delaying fatigue onset.
- USP-grade free-base form — highly soluble and compatible with acidic beverage matrices.
