- Arginine and citrulline are two amino acids that are integral to protein metabolism and utilization, as well as to the maintenance of muscle tissue.
- Both are key intermediates in the urea cycle, where they participate in the detoxification of ammonia via the production of urea.
- In addition, any arginine not converted to urea enters general circulation where it is distributed to various tissues and metabolized for other uses such as protein synthesis.
- Arginine is necessary for the production of nitric oxide.
- L-arginine is produced in several ways. It can be synthesized from the amino acid citrulline through the breakdown of body proteins, or it can be obtained through dietary protein intake.
- L-arginine supplements may enhance exercise performance by increasing nitric oxidein the body, which improves blood flow and oxygenation to muscles.
- Like other single amino acids, it’s recommended to take L-arginine between meals for maximum absorption.
- After citrulline is consumed, some is converted to another amino acid called arginine.
- Suitable for Vegans.
