What is l Citrulline?

This substance is a naturally occurring amino acid in our body. It is found in some foods such as watermelons and is also naturally produced by the body. Our body turns L-citrulline into another amino acid called L-arginine. Due to European legislation, we are not allowed to mention the possible benefits of this supplement here because you can buy l-citrulline from us.

How is L-Citrulline produced?

  1. It can be produced as a dietary supplement through a fermentation process. In the fermentation process, specific bacterial strains are used to convert precursor molecules, such as glucose or other sugars, into L-citrulline. This is then purified and processed into various forms, such as powders, capsules and tablets, for use as a nutritional supplement.
  2. It is also possible to obtain this substance from natural sources, such as watermelons, which are naturally rich in this amino acid. Watermelons contain a high concentration in the rind and the white part (the pulp) of the fruit. By extracting and purifying these parts of the watermelon, it can be obtained for use as a supplement.

Difference between l-Citrulline and citrulline malate?

As you may know or have already seen, there are 2 different types that you can find in supplements. Both forms have similar properties, but there are some important differences between them. citrulline malate is a combination of L-citrulline and malic acid (malate). Malatic acid is an organic acid that occurs naturally in apples, pears and other fruits. It is not necessarily the case that one is better than the other. Both forms have their own unique features and benefits, and the choice between the two depends on the specific application and the individual needs of the person using them. Us Citrulline supplement is the pure form of the amino acid citrulline

The advantage of l-citrulline is that it contains a higher concentration of the active substance compared to malate, making it easier to calculate the correct dosage and therefore you need less compared to the malate variant.

Research has shown that the concentration in watermelon ranges from approximately 100 mg to more than 250 mg per 100 grams of pulp.
  2. Cucumbers are another source, although the amounts are lower than in watermelon. A cup of sliced ​​cucumber contains about 10-15 mg
