L-Citrulline has been quickly adopted as the preferred amino acid for boosting nitric oxide levels & pump in the gym. Unlike its predecessor in this role, L-arginine, L-citrulline bypasses metabolism in the liver so it goes straight into the bloodstream and then to the kidneys where most of it is converted to arginine. This is in contrast to arginine, which undergoes significant 'first-pass metabolism' - meaning most is taken up in the liver, with a lesser amount reaching the bloodstream. In addition to serving as a superior precursor for arginine, citrulline plays a vital role in the urea cycle, which is responsible for clearing the toxic metabolite ammonia from the body. Ammonia toxicity is one of the factors that limits high intensity exercise capacity.
