Citrulline nitrate is a unique nitric oxide boosting compound containing the amino acid L-citrulline specifically bonded to nitrate.
Nitrate is naturally found in red beets, spinach, kale and arugula and converted to nitric oxide in the body. Citrulline is found in a number of foods such as watermelon, a superior supplement for increasing blood levels of arginine than L-arginine dietary supplements. Therefore, L-citrulline is more effective than L-arginine for boosting nitric oxide production.†
Arginine is a precursor, which the body uses to generate nitric oxide– an important signaling molecule that may improve muscular function and exercise performance. Nitric oxide (NO) enhances vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), which may favorably impact greater blood flow, oxygen and nutrient delivery to working muscles
