In bodybuilding, citrulline is mainly known as a stimulator of nitric oxide production, thanks to which you can improve blood flow to the muscles . Due to the better blood flow, you then feel more pumped, which of course is also related to a better supply of nutrients to the muscles. And this plays a very important role in muscle growth. In addition, better blood circulation to the muscles and, as a result, a greater supply of nutrients to the muscle can affect its regeneration , which is important not only in bodybuilding, but also in other sports.

L-citrulline is a non-essential amino acid that participates in the urea cycle in the same way as L-arginine and L-ornithine, well known in bodybuilding. Citrulline is found in some foods (such as watermelon, from which it derives its name), but not in amounts that would have the same effect as when supplied to the body in the form of dietary supplements!

The effect of arginine and citrulline (citrulline is a precursor of arginine) is often compared, and some experts favor the greater effectiveness of citrulline. 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. Another important argument is that while arginine is found naturally in greater quantities in food and it is possible to provide a higher intake of arginine through a targeted diet, this is not the case with citrulline and can be achieved only through food supplements.

L-citrulline 100% is a guarantee of maximum purity of the active substance in the dietary supplement. You simply cannot have a 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.
