This amino acid protein component not, There are always in the free state, has a reducing effect of muscle fatigue, insofar as it contributes to the production of phospho-creatine and adenosine triphosphate.
It is known that L-citrulline is an organic precursor of L- Arginine and the latter amino acid contributes to the increase in nitrogen oxide levels[1] (Nitric oxide) which in turn contributes to a better blood supply to the muscles, com concomitant intake of nutrients, catalysts, hormones, and other essential substances to muscle anabolism processes.
However recent research, proves that L-citrulline acts directly on these biochemical and physiological processes, without conversion to L-Arginine. A malic acid form com complexada, originating or ill de citruline, is the most used.
Studies carried out on mice (mice), At the University Paris Descartes, concluded that this amino acid helps reduce the fat deposited in the abdominal level. The L- Citrulline increases the activity of fat type brown, known to produce a stimulus calorie consumption and increase the lipid catabolism, instead of giving rise to deposits in the abdominal area adipocytes.
The dosages used are comprised between 1 and 3 grams, preferably half an hour before the workout.
