- Supports nitric oxide (a vasodilator) levels in the blood stream.

What L-citrulline is
L-citrulline is an amino acid that the body makes on its own. It takes its name from Citrullus, the Latin name for watermelon, where it was first identified. It is not one of the amino acids used to build protein, and it is the compound the body turns into L-arginine.
Each tablet holds 1000 mg of L-citrulline, listed on the licence as coming from citrulline malate. Natural Factors makes it through bacterial fermentation and describes the formula as vegan and non-GMO. The tablet base is carbohydrate gum, cellulose, dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, glycerin, hydroxypropyl cellulose, magnesium stearate, silica and stearic acid.

How to take it
Adults 18 and over take 3 tablets at once, 1 time a day, or as directed by a health care practitioner. That adds up to 3000 mg of L-citrulline a day. Many people take it before a training session. Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep out of the reach of children. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.
Who it suits
Adults who lift weights or do interval training with short rests, and who would rather take tablets than mix a powder. It also suits anyone who wants a single-ingredient citrulline with nothing added to the formula.
