Product function:

L-Citrulline Alpha Ketoglutarate is a nutritional supplement ingredient, mainly because of the citrulline contained. Citrulline is actually an amino acid that is synthesized by the body into the much more needed conditionally essential amino acid called arginine, which is deemed a precursor to nitric oxide.  The overall nitric oxide levels in the blood are elevated by supplementation of L-Citrulline AKG, which in turn apparently stimulates opening of blood vessels, more accurately vasodilation. Citrulline, as an alpha amino acid, is deemed a vital intermediate in the ornithine cycle, a vital biochemical reaction that produces urea out of ammonia in the liver.
