What does it do?

L-Citrulline is a type of amino acid that is converted into arginine in the body and is involved in various metabolic processes. It is primarily used in pharmaceuticals for the purpose of improving liver function and detoxifying ammonia, which is a toxic substance in the body.

L-Citrulline is converted into arginine in the body, activating the urea cycle. This helps to convert ammonia into urea for excretion from the body and contributes to improving liver function.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

L-Citrulline directly converts into arginine to exert its effects, resulting in a higher absorption and utilization rate in the body compared to arginine. This leads to more efficient action in improving liver function.
