Factory Supply 99% L-Citrulline Powder CAS 372-75-8
L-Citrulline: Product Introduction
L-citrulline is an α-amino acid widely found naturally in cucurbitaceous plants such as watermelon and winter melon. It is a non-protein amino acid. In the human body, citrulline can be synthesized from ornithine via the urea cycle, or it can be synthesized in the intestines from glutamine. Approximately 13% of glutamine ingested in the intestines is converted into citrulline. Citrulline plays a crucial role in the body's metabolism. It is not only an important intermediate in the urea cycle, responsible for converting toxic ammonia produced by protein metabolism into non-toxic urea for excretion, but it also participates in regulating muscle protein synthesis, immune responses, and antioxidant defense. As a functional amino acid, citrulline has been widely used in the pharmaceutical, health product, and food industries.

Health Benefits
Urea Cycle and Detoxification
L-citrulline participates in the body's urea cycle. Daily protein metabolism produces excess ammonia, which citrulline converts into urea and excretes. This is crucial for maintaining the body's acid-base balance and eliminating toxic metabolic waste. Especially during exercise, muscle ammonia production increases; L-citrulline helps remove ammonia through the urea cycle, thus reducing fatigue.
Cardiovascular Protection
Supplementing with L-citrulline can increase arginine levels in the blood, promote nitric oxide production, help improve vascular endothelial function, and lower blood pressure.
Muscle Regulation
L-citrulline not only aids in muscle repair and regeneration but also promotes muscle protein synthesis, playing a positive role in maintaining muscle mass and improving athletic performance.
Immune Regulation and Anti-inflammatory Effects
L-citrulline also plays a role in the immune system. It can promote the proliferation and function of immune cells, enhancing immunity. In addition, L-citrulline possesses certain anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, reducing the release of inflammatory cytokines and protecting cells from oxidative stress damage.
Anti-aging effects
Recent scientific research has found that L-citrulline levels decline significantly with age and are associated with age-related metabolic disorders. L-citrulline supplementation has been shown to reduce cellular senescence, prevent DNA damage, regulate cellular metabolism, and alleviate chronic inflammation.
Application Areas Overview
Sports Nutrition
Enhancing Athletic Performance: Citrulline supplementation can improve exercise endurance, enhance muscle strength, and reduce post-exercise muscle soreness and fatigue. It is widely used in sports nutrition supplements.
Beauty & Skincare
Antioxidant and Anti-aging: Citrulline has antioxidant properties, scavenging free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative damage, and delaying skin aging. It is commonly used in high-end skincare products and masks, helping to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture.
Food & Beverage
Functional Food Additive: As a natural amino acid, citrulline can be added to beverages, solid beverages, chewable tablets, and other foods to provide health benefits such as enhancing immunity and improving digestive function.
Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare
Cardiovascular Health Ingredient: By generating nitric oxide, it helps dilate blood vessels and reduce peripheral resistance, making it suitable for improving cardiovascular microcirculation in middle-aged and elderly individuals. It is an important ingredient in antihypertensive and heart-protective health products.
