Now Foods, L-Citrulline, 750 mg, 90 Veg Capsules

Now Foods L-Citrulline 750 mg – free-form amino acid in a vegetable capsule

Now Foods L-Citrulline is a food supplement providing 750 mg L-citrulline in every vegetable capsule. According to the EU label, the recommended daily dose is two capsules, providing 1.50 g L-citrulline and 36 mg calcium from calcium carbonate. The bottle contains 90 capsules, i.e. 45 daily doses. The amount can be adjusted according to the manufacturer's directions: take one to two capsules one to two times daily between meals. The ingredient list is short and clear – besides L-citrulline the capsule contains only calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, magnesium stearate and a cellulose capsule shell.

What is L-citrulline?

L-citrulline is an amino acid that the body can produce itself, so it is not one of the essential amino acids. Unlike many other amino acids, it is not used to build proteins. In this product L-citrulline is in free form, i.e. as a separate amino acid rather than as part of a protein.

The daily dose contains 36 mg calcium, which is 5% of the nutrient reference value – so the product is not a source of calcium and calcium is simply part of the composition.

How to use?

Take 1–2 capsules one to two times daily between meals, with a glass of water. On the EU label the nutrition information is given per two capsules, i.e. 1.50 g L-citrulline. Do not exceed the amount recommended by the manufacturer. If you also use other products containing L-citrulline, take their amounts into account. Taking two capsules a day, the bottle lasts 45 days.
