CITRULLINE MALATE of HERO TECH NUTRITION is a food supplement powder based on L-citrulline malate. L-citrulline is a non-essential amino acid precursor of L-arginine and very abundant in fruits such as watermelon (citrullus lanatus). For its part, malic acid is an organic acid present in some fruits such as apples. Three enzymes are involved in the metabolism of free citrulline: nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and ornithine carbamoyltransferase (OCT) that produce citrulline, and argininosuccinate synthase (ASS) that transforms it into arginine. In most NO (Nitric Oxide) producing tissues, citrulline is recycled to arginine via ASS to increase the availability of arginine for NO (Nitric Oxide) production. Citrulline malate supplementation is widely used and popular among athletes of different sports.
