What is the functional mechanism of L-Citrulline?
Citrulline is a precursor to L-arginine which is a substrate for nitric oxide synthase. L-arginine is the enzyme responsible for nitric oxide production. Nitric oxide helps relax blood vessels, which can improve blood flow and nutrient delivery to muscles.
By promoting the production of nitric oxide, L-Citrulline is helpful for widen blood vessels, improving circulation and reducing blood pressure. It has much potentially benefits for circulation and cardiovascular health.
Strictly, the functional mechanism of L-Citrulline is to increased nitric oxide production.
After exercise, muscle feels soreness. L-Citrulline can enhance recovery, which improves blood flow and nutrient delivery to muscles.
citrulline benefits for males
L-Citrulline is a gospel for males who has erectile dysfunction. L-citrulline supplement has a positive impact on erectile function by increasing nitric oxide levels. Nitric oxide is involved in the relaxation of blood vessels in the genital area.
L-Citrulline benefits
L-Citrulline can enhance exercise performance, relax vasodilation and reduce muscle soreness.
