L Citrulline
Citrulline, a non-essential
amino acid synthesized in the intestinal tract from
Glutamine, converts to Arginine in a biochemical
process involving Aspartic Acid and two necessary
enzymes, Ornithine Transcarbamoylase and
Argininosuccinate Synthetase. As a precursor to
Arginine, It has a sparing effect on Arginine enabling
an increase in Nitric Oxide production. Nitric Oxide
(NO) is very important for endothelial support and
cardiovascular health. Citrulline increases energy and
stimulates the immune system, as well.
Citrulline is also an essential component of the Urea
Cycle, and functions along with Ornithine and Arginine
to convert ammonia into Urea. High ammonia levels are
extremely toxic and can cause liver damage and
neurological impairment. Supplementation with
Citrulline has been very beneficial in a genetic
disorder called Ornithine Transcarbamoylase (OTC)
Deficiency.
