Citrulline malate

Description

Citrulline has several important effects on our body. One of the main effects of citrulline in the body is the expansion of blood vessels. Vasodilation refers to the widening of arteries or veins, which ultimately lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow in the body.

After consuming citrulline, some of it is converted into another amino acid called arginine. Arginine is then converted into a molecule called nitric oxide, which relaxes the contracted muscle cells, causing blood vessels to dilate.

It is interesting to know that consumption of citrulline can increase arginine in the body more than consumption of arginine itself. This is due to the difference in the way arginine and citrulline are processed and absorbed in the body.

The increase in nitric oxide and blood flow caused by the use of citrulline will improve your athletic performance.

Although citrulline is not an amino acid that is directly used to build protein, it increases protein synthesis by stimulating an important signaling pathway involved in muscle building.

Citrulline can also reduce the absorption of certain amino acids by the liver and prevent their breakdown. slow Therefore, citrulline may indirectly help maintain or increase muscle mass by affecting protein synthesis and amino acid breakdown.
