Citrulline for Fat Loss

December 12, 2016 - Admin

Citrulline Promotes Abdominal Fat Loss


Citrulline is an amino acid that promotes protein synthesis and citrulline fat loss. A French study from Paris Descartes University on overweight rats fed high-fat diets found that supplementing citrulline reduced blood sugar production in the liver, and triggered abdominal fat loss. Citrulline increases brown fat activity, which increases caloric expenditure and promotes fat burning, supporting citrulline weight loss efforts. Brown fat is a highly thermogenic tissue that dissipates energy as heat instead of storing it as fat. Citrulline increased levels of hormone-sensitive lipase by 150 percent, which also promoted fat mobilization and use, making it beneficial for those considering l citrulline for weight loss.
