Product Description

MicroActive^® L-Citrulline is a free flowing powder comprised of 60% active ingredient. L-citrulline is an amino acid that is converted by the body to arginine. As it is better absorbed than arginine it is a more bioavailable source. L-arginine boosts nitric oxide production in the body that in turn improves blood flow as a vasodilator and induces greater flexibility in the walls of blood cells. These functions support improved physical endurance, lower blood pressure and reduced erectile dysfunction when it occurs.

Water-soluble L-Citrulline passes through the digestive system quickly, with some portion absorbed and the remainder evacuated. Prior research studies on other water-soluble active ingredients indicate that a sustained release form is more bioavailable. This would enhance the naturally occurring improved bioavailability in the conversion to arginine. Additionally SR forms also provide a consistent dosing a practical solution to conditions such as erectile dysfunction.

A Comparison of Dissolution Profile of L-Citrulline

MicroActive^® L-citrulline is a free flowing powder containing 60% of the active. It can be formulated with other ingredients

Mechanism of Action MicroActive^® Technology

MicroActive^® L-Citrulline  increases absorption by reducing particle size less than 10 microns thereby promoting more efficient transport through the digestive track and cell walls. In addition, the proprietary mix of polymers in MA L-Citrulline slows the release rate allowing for absorption over a longer time period. Evidence supports the claim that this combination of greater absorption and sustained release creates a more uniform absorption from subject-to-subject, improving the probability that all consumers will benefit from the active.

Safety

L-Citrulline is a safe, naturally occurring essential nutrient found in a number of protein food sources, including milk, legumes, meats, and fish. MicroActive^® Citruline is produced using all GRAS approved ingredients having been subjected to numerous safety studies including acute toxicity in both humans and animals.
