L-citrulline is an amino acid that offers several potential health benefits, including improved exercise performance, blood pressure regulation, and potentially even erectile dysfunction relief. It is converted to L-arginine in the body, which is then used to produce nitric oxide, a molecule that relaxes and widens blood vessels, leading to increased blood flow.
