L-Citrulline is a non-essential amino acid that plays an important role in many biological processes.
The kidneys convert it first into arginine and then into nitric oxide. This means that supplementing with citrulline will bring you better blood flow, reduce lactic acid and ammonia levels, and speed up the recovery of ATP and creatine phosphate.
Aside from that, citrulline has also been shown to increase growth hormone levels and can even promote the absorption of BCAAs into the body.
