In bodybuilding, citrulline is primarily known as a stimulant for the production of nitric oxide, thanks to which you will be able to achieve better blood flow to your muscles during training. Thanks to better blood circulation, you feel better pumped, which of course is also related to a better supply of nutrients to the muscles. And it plays a very important role in muscle growth. In addition, better blood circulation in the muscles and, as a result, a greater supply of nutrients to the muscle can make its regeneration more efficient , which is important not only for bodybuilding, but also for other sports.

L-citrulline is a non-essential amino acid that participates in the urea cycle just like L-arginine and L-ornithine, known in bodybuilding. Citrulline is contained in some foods (such as watermelon, from which it derives its name), but not in an amount that shows the same effect as when you provide it to the body in the form of dietary supplements!

The effect of arginine and citrulline is often compared (citrulline is a precursor of arginine) and some experts are inclined to use citrulline more effectively. They claim, among other things, that citrulline breaks down more slowly in the body and thus increases blood arginine levels for a longer period of time. An important argument is also that while arginine occurs more and in larger quantities naturally in food and it is possible to ensure a higher intake of it through a targeted diet, citrulline does not and it is only possible with nutritional supplements.

100% L-citrulline is a guarantee of maximum purity of the active substance in the supplement. You simply cannot have purer L-citrulline in your supplementation plan. In addition, free-form L-citrulline is a completely natural and easily digestible form of a non-essential amino acid for our body.
