NOW Foods: how L-Cytrulline works

L-Cytrulline is an amino acid that is involved in many biological processes: the kidneys convert it into an amino acid called L-arginine and then into nitric oxide. Supplementation with L-citrulline is so much more beneficial compared to arginine alone, as it allows arginine levels to increase over a long period of time, whereas supplementation with L-arginine alone provides a dramatic increase in the plasma value of this amino acid. Arginine is rapidly broken down in the body, while L-citrulline enters the body and is eventually converted there into arginine, followed by nitric oxide and urea.
