CITRULLINE is formed by the addition of carbon dioxide and ammonia to ornithine. It is then combined with aspartic acid to form arginosuccinic acid, which later is metabolized into the amino acid Arginine. CITRULLINE, as a precursor to Arginine, is involved in the formation of urea in the liver. The synthesis and elimination of urea is essential for removing toxic nitrogen metabolites from the body. These metabolites build up from the digestion, absorption, and metabolism of protein. Citrulline works along with aspartic acid, citric acid, and magnesium in helping to improve nitrogen metabolite excretion. CITRULLINE is required to detoxify the liver from ammonia, which is a waste product from oxidation. CITRULLINE promotes energy and assists with immune system.
