NOW® Sports Arginine and Citrulline

Features & Benefits

• Supports protein metabolism
• Helps maintain nitrogen balance better
• L-Arginine is a non-essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis

Summary

Arginine and Citrulline are two amino acids that play essential roles in protein metabolism and utilization, as well as the maintenance of muscle tissue. Both amino acids are key intermediates in the urea cycle, where they assist in the detoxification of ammonia through the production of urea. Arginine that is not converted to urea enters general circulation, where it is distributed to various tissues and metabolized for other uses, such as protein synthesis. Scientific studies have shown that supplementing Citrulline alongside Arginine helps maintain nitrogen balance more effectively than supplementing with Arginine alone.
