Citrulline is a non-essential amino acid with specific chemical properties. Citrulline participates in many physiological processes in the human body, such as urea cycle, improving cardiovascular function, enhancing immunity, and promoting muscle recovery and growth, and has an important impact on human health.
1. Chemical properties and sources
Citrulline is a non-essential amino acid, chemically named L-citrulline, which is an α-amino acid with a similar structure to arginine. In the human body, citrulline can be synthesized from ornithine through a series of enzymatic reactions in the urea cycle. Citrulline is also found in some foods, such as watermelon and pumpkin, among which watermelon has a relatively high content, which is one of the origins of the name of citrulline.
2. Function
Participate in the urea cycle: Citrulline plays a key role in the urea cycle, combines with to form arginine, and then participates in the synthesis of urea, helping the body to excrete excess nitrogen and maintain nitrogen balance. This is essential for the normal function of the liver and kidneys, helping to prevent accumulation in the body and avoid poisoning.
Improve cardiovascular function: Citrulline can promote the release of NO from endothelial cells. NO has the effect of dilating blood vessels, can lower blood pressure, improve blood circulation, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and can also inhibit platelet aggregation, prevent thrombosis, and protect the health of the heart and blood vessels.
Enhance immunity: Citrulline also plays a certain role in the immune system. It can participate in the metabolism and functional regulation of immune cells, help improve the body's immunity, and enhance resistance to pathogens. For example, it may have a certain regulatory effect on the activity and function of white blood cells, promoting the effective immune response.
Promote muscle recovery and growth: During exercise, citrulline can help reduce muscle fatigue and promote muscle recovery. It may reduce muscle damage and promote muscle repair by increasing the level of , increasing blood supply and oxygen delivery to muscles. Citrulline may also participate in the protein synthesis process and have a certain positive effect on .
Although citrulline has many benefits to the human body, it should not be taken in excess blindly. Excessive intake may cause adverse effects on the body, such as metabolic disorders. If you consider increasing citrulline intake through supplements, you should do so under the guidance of a doctor or professional, especially for people with underlying diseases or taking other medications. It is also necessary to focus on obtaining citrulline and other nutrients through a balanced diet, and not rely solely on supplements. For the role of citrulline in health, more research is needed to further clarify its specific mechanism and best application method.
How to supplement citrulline?
Food is the most natural source of nutrition. Many foods contain citrulline. Citrulline can be supplemented safely and effectively through a reasonable diet. You can eat more foods rich in citrulline, such as watermelon. Pumpkin is also a good choice, as well as vegetables such as cucumbers. These foods can be reasonably matched and incorporated into daily diets, such as making watermelon juice, pumpkin soup, etc., to increase citrulline intake.
Some special populations, such as athletes, postoperative recoveries, or people with severe citrulline deficiency, may not be able to meet their needs with food alone, and nutritional supplements are an effective way to supplement. Before using citrulline supplements, be sure to consult a doctor or nutritionist for advice. Because different people have different needs for supplements, and excessive supplementation of citrulline may have side effects.
Citrulline often works in conjunction with other nutrients in the human body, and combined supplementation can improve the utilization efficiency of citrulline. For example, vitamin C can promote the synthesis of, and citrulline is also involved in the production process of . Appropriate supplementation of vitamin C may help citrulline better play its role in improving cardiovascular function. But similarly, combined supplementation also needs to be carried out under the guidance of professionals.
