Citrulline is an unnecessary amino acid and is a precursor to arginine. As a precursor, citrulline provides a readily available substance for arginine production, helping the body maintain healthy arginine levels.

Citrulline is used by the body to remove ammonia from the muscles and store it in the liver cells, until it is converted to urea and removed by the kidneys. In the kidneys, citrulline is converted to arginine, an amino acid very rich in nitrogen and an important factor in the release of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide causes vasodilation and therefore better perfusion of muscle tissue.

Citrulline helps produce nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a simple molecule produced in the body mainly by the sensitive inner wall of the arteries, the endothelium, and its main function is to dilate the arteries and veins, thus regulating blood circulation and blood pressure.

Citrulline is thought to help treat symptoms of mild to moderate erectile dysfunction. Research has shown that although citrulline supplementation cannot replace phosphodiesterase type 5 enzyme inhibitors commonly used in cases of severe erectile dysfunction, it has the comparative advantage of being safe and psychologically well tolerated by patients.

Citrulline promotes wound healing and the maintenance of a strong immune system.
