Czech Virus Pure L-Citrulline 350 g unflavoured

The Pure L-Citrulline product offers 100% pure L-Citrulline, an amino acid that is mainly used by athletes for the production of NO2. Our product contains Citrulline, which is naturally fermented and does not contain any synthetic forms. Citrulline is produced in the body in a process called the urea cycle, which is one of the basic ways in which a person removes nitrogen from the body. This entire cycle begins with the reaction of ammonia with carbon dioxide, which produces carbamoyl phosphate and ADP and inorganic phosphate. It is carbamoyl phosphate that reacts with ornithine and thus citrulline is synthesized.

The need for nitric oxide
L-Citrulline is one of three amino acids that participate in the urea cycle together with L-Arginine and L-Ornithine. Taking L-Citrulline increases plasma levels of ornithine and arginine and improves ammonia recycling and nitric oxide metabolism. As a result, it is used in areas where nitric oxide is relevant, namely in erectile dysfunction caused by high blood pressure, in athletic performance and for cardiovascular health. There are very few foods that have significant amounts of citrulline.

Effect on fatigue and endurance
Research suggests that L-Citrulline results in reduced fatigue and improved endurance in both aerobic and anaerobic exercise. There is currently insufficient evidence to support the claim that L-citrulline supplementation improves performance during exercise. More research is needed on erectile dysfunction and blood pressure, but a small amount of research supports a beneficial effect. Citrulline is also very significantly involved in reducing the level of ammonia in the body, which is especially important for spore animals with a higher protein content in their diet.

Citrulline vs Arginine
Research suggests that taking citrulline is a better choice than arginine alone. Taking citrulline leads to higher and more consistent levels of arginine in the body than taking arginine alone. Citrulline is very easily converted to arginine as needed and is also better absorbed than arginine. In this way, citrulline is a better source of arginine for the body without the side effects that arginine undoubtedly has. Citrulline has no proven side effects and, unlike L-Arginine, high doses do not result in gastrointestinal upset.

Citrulline vs Citrulline-Malate
Citrulline malate is citrulline bound to malic acid and varies in ratio - for example, Beast Virus contains Citrulline Malate in a 2:1 ratio, i.e. 2/3 citrulline and 1/3 malic acid. This form is generally better used for endurance sports. This product, Pure L-Citrulline, contains naturally fermented, pharmaceutical pure 100% L-Citrulline, which is mainly suitable for increasing NO2. Increasing nitric oxide levels is the main reason most people take citrulline. It is precisely this that plays a relatively essential role in oxygenating the muscle, it can expand the blood vessels and therefore increase the blood flow and supply of nutrients to the working muscle.

Pure L-Citrulline
On our market, the opinion still prevails that Arginine is the most suitable supplement for pumping up and flushing out the growth hormone. However, this opinion is very outdated and countless studies have clearly confirmed that L-Citrulline supplementation is preferable. Some sources state that Citrulline is up to twice as powerful as Arginine alone. This means that you will get the same effect by taking 2.5 grams of Citrulline compared to 5 grams of Arginine. At higher dosages, Arginine also has side effects (stomach cramps, cold sores...) that Citrulline does not have even at mega high doses. In addition, our product is created using fermentation from plant sources without synthetic forms. From our point of view, the use of Arginine is therefore completely unnecessary and we recommend the use of L-Citrulline. We recommend setting the dosage according to your pre-workout plan.

Recommended dosage: Take 1 dose (5 g) with water or another drink (instant BCAA, preworkout) and drink about 30 minutes before physical activity. Consult a professional trainer for higher dosages.
