Citrulline is a non-essential amino acid and is the precursor to arginine. As a precursor, citrulline provides a readily available material for the production of arginine, helping the body maintain healthy arginine levels. Citrulline is used by the body to remove ammonia from the muscles and store it in liver cells, until it is converted to urea and removed by the kidneys. In the kidneys, citrulline is converted to arginine, an amino acid very rich in nitrogen and an important factor in the release of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide causes vasodilation and therefore better blood flow to muscle tissue. Citrulline helps produce nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a simple molecule produced within the body, mainly by the delicate inner lining of the arteries, the endothelium, and its main function is to dilate the arteries and veins, thereby regulating blood circulation and blood pressure. Citrulline is thought to be able to help treat the symptoms of mild to moderate erectile dysfunction.
