Tag: Citrulline absorption

Experts suggest that L-citrulline taken on an empty stomach may improve absorption and lead to faster increases in plasma arginine levels. However, this depends on individual fitness goals, tolerance, and training schedules.

A 2022 study on collegiate soccer players found that combined L-arginine and L-citrulline supplementation significantly increased nitric oxide levels and improved power output. While L-citrulline has a high bioavailability on its own, certain synergistic compounds and intake methods can further optimize its absorption and therapeutic effects.
