Applications

1. Sports Nutrition

L-Citrulline is widely used in pre-workout, endurance and muscle-support formulas. It helps support nitric oxide metabolism, which may promote blood flow, nutrient delivery and exercise performance.

2. Cardiovascular & Circulatory Health

Similar to L-Arginine, L-Citrulline is often used in circulatory health supplements. It supports the nitric oxide pathway and helps maintain healthy vascular function.

3. Immune & General Health

L-Citrulline is used in general health and immune-support supplements due to its role in amino acid balance and metabolic support.

4. Clinical Nutrition

It can be applied in clinical amino acid preparations and medical nutritional products, especially in formulas requiring arginine-related metabolic support.
