Citrulline is a nonessential amino acid that converts to the amino acid Arginine, the main precursor to Nitric Oxide (NO). Citrulline supplementation increases plasma Arginine levels more effectively and efficiently than Arginine supplementation.
Citrulline supports Nitric Oxide (NO) metabolism and regulation, which promotes increased blood flow to muscle aka “The Pump”.
Citrulline supplementation has been shown to reduce fatigue and muscle soreness, increase power output, and increase the number of repetitions performed on both lower body and upper body weight training exercises.
Clinically studied dosage = 2000-6000mg per day, ideally taken pre-workout.
