L-CITRULLINE |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The organic compound Citrulline is an Amino Acid. Its name is derived from CITRULLUS, the Latin word for WATERMELON, from which it was first isolated in 1930. It has the idealized formula H2NC(O)NH(CH2)3CH(NH2)CO2H. It is a key intermediate in the Urea Cycle, the pathway by which Mammals Excrete Ammonia. Citrulline is a Non-Essential Amino Acid that is an important intermediate in the Urea Cycle, functioning along with Arginine and Ornithine to rid the body of Ammonia, a by-product of Protein Metabolism. Because Citrulline is a precursor of Arginine, it provides a readily available source material for Arginine production, which in turn, can be used for the production of Nitric Oxide (NO). NO plays a fundamental role in Vascular Function and Blood Flow. Citrulline therefore, not only supports Detoxification Pathways, but also supports NO production and a healthy Cardiovascular System. |
