L-시트룰린

L-시트룰린, also known as alpha-amino isobutyric acid, is a non-proteinogenic α-amino acid.

It is an amino acid that DNA does not encode. It is a non-essential amino acid most commonly found in watermelon. It is a naturally occurring amino acid, meaning that it can be produced by our body.

It is used to relax muscles and dilate blood vessels. Our body converts into L-arginine. Our kidneys remove excess ammonia from our blood and convert it to urea, so the amount of L-carnitine in our body is meager.

It is naturally occurring in foods such as watermelons, bananas, and sugar beets.

In addition to being a food additive, L-citrulline is often used as a supplement. It can help with energy levels, exercise performance.

It has numerous health benefits, but most notably, it acts as a precursor for nitric oxide, increasing blood flow and reducing.

It is an essential intermediate in the urea cycle and the glutamine synthetase reaction and participates in neurotransmitter synthesis, ammonia detoxification, methylation reactions, arginine production, and the formation of ornithine.

The most potent and effective L-citrulline dosage is 2-4 grams each day. While most people use L-citrulline as a muscle relaxer and vasodilator, it has also been found to help with blood pressure and bodybuilding.
