Czech Virus L-Citrulline 350g, food supplement
Amino acid that is mainly used among athletes for NO2 production. The product contains Citrulline, which is naturally fermented and contains no synthetic forms. Citrulline is produced in the body in a process called the urea cycle, which is one of the primary ways humans remove nitrogen from the body. This entire cycle begins with the reaction of ammonia with carbon dioxide to produce carbamoyl phosphate and ADP and inorganic phosphate. It is carbamoyl phosphate that enters into a reaction with ornithine and so citrulline is synthesized.
Nitric Oxide requirement
L-Citrulline is one of the three amino acids involved in the urea cycle along with L-Arginine and L-Ornithine. Taking L-Citrulline increases plasma levels of ornithine and arginine and improves the ammonia recycling process and nitric oxide metabolism. As a result, it is used in areas where nitric oxide is relevant, namely in erectile dysfunction bycaused by high blood pressure, in athletic performance and for cardiovascular health. There are very few foods that have significant amounts of citrulline.
Effect on fatigue and endurance
Research suggests that L-Citrulline results in reduced fatigue and improved endurance during aerobic and anaerobic exercise. For now, there is insufficient evidence to support the claim that L-citrulline supplementation improves performance during exercise. More research is needed for erectile dysfunction and blood pressure, but a small amount of research supports a beneficial effect. Citrulline is also very important in reducing ammonia levels in the body, which is especially important for athletes with higher protein diets.
Citrulline vs. Arginine
Research suggests that taking citrulline is a better choice than arginine alone. Taking citrulline leads to higher and more consistent levels of arginine in the body than taking arginine alone. Citrulline is very easily converted to arginine as needed and is also better absorbed than arginine. In this way, citrulline is a better source of arginine for the body without the side effects that arginine no doubt has. Citrulline has no proven side effects and unlikel unlike L-Arginine, high doses do not result in gastrointestinal upset.
Citrulline vs. Citrulline Malate
Citrulline Malate is citrulline bound to malic acid and varies in ratio - for example, Beast Virus contains Citrulline Malate in a 2:1 ratio, so 2/3 is citrulline and 1/3 malic acid. This form is generally better for endurance sports. This product, Pure L-Citrulline, contains naturally fermented, pharmaceutically pure 100% L-Citrulline, which is mainly suitable for increasing NO2. Increasing nitric oxide levels is the main reason most people take citrulline. This is because it plays a rather crucial role in muscle oxygenation, it can meltthe blood vessels and therefore increase blood flow and nutrient supply to the working muscle.
Pure L-Citrulline
In our market, the opinion still prevails that Arginine is the most suitable supplement for pumping up and flushing out growth hormone. However, this opinion is very outdated and countless studies have clearly confirmed that L-Citrulline supplementation is preferable. Some sources state that Citrulline is up to twice as potent as Arginine alone. This means that you can achieve the same effect by taking 2.5 grams of Citrulline compared to 5 grams of Arginine. At higher dosages, Arginine also has side effects (stomach cramps, cold sores...) that Citrulline does not have even at mega high doses. In addition, our product is created by fermentation from plant sources without synthetic forms. So from our point of view, taking Arginine is completely unnecessary and we recommend taking L-Citrulline. We also recommend that the dosage is determined by your pre-workout.
