Citrulline Analysis Service

Citrulline is a non-protein amino acid synthesized in the human body via the arginine pathway and plays a pivotal role in the urea cycle. As a significant metabolic intermediate, citrulline is involved in several physiological processes, including nitrogen excretion, immune system regulation, and vasodilation. Its role in enhancing exercise performance and recovery is well-documented, primarily through increased nitric oxide production, which improves blood flow and oxygen delivery.

 

The unique functions of citrulline in health maintenance and exercise optimization make its precise metabolic analysis essential. Understanding its mechanisms of action within the body provides valuable data for clinical diagnostics, sports nutrition, and disease treatment.
