Basic Information:
Product Name:L-Citrulline
Specification:99%
Molecular formula : C6H13N3O3
Molecular weight: 8175.19
CAS No.: 372-75-8
Function :
Citrulline is a non-protein amino acid that has the ability to form peptide bonds, but is not involved in protein synthesis. Citrulline was once considered as an intermediate product in the urea cycle, however, recent studies have shown that citrulline can be widely used in medicine, food, health care and other aspects, with good pharmacological effects.
1 Prevention and treatment of prostate diseases
citrulline has obvious effects on the prevention and treatment of prostate diseases, including prostatitis, prostate swelling, prostate hypertrophy, prostate hyperplasia, and prostate cancer. Wang Jianghai et al. invented a method to increase the content of citrulline and anti-proliferation factor active substances by inducing the germination of pumpkin seed embryonic cells and extract these substances, which can be used as pharmaceutical raw materials or functional health food.
2 Improve male sexual function
citrulline can make the body produce nitrogen oxides, and this nitrogen oxide is a very important substance for male sexual ability. Unlike drugs that improve sexual performance, citrulline can be fully absorbed into the blood, making it easier to produce nitrogen oxides, thus achieving the effect of making the penis erect. And as a pure natural product, citrulline not only does not have any side effects, but also can fully Chemicalbook enhance men's physical condition , and the United States has developed a company to develop related products. A method of extracting citrulline from watermelon has been patented in recent years and can be made into tablets and capsules.
3 Anti-aging and enhance immunity
studies have found that citrulline has strong antioxidant capacity, can remove hydroxyl, increase arginine required for NO synthesis, can effectively protect DNA and PMN from oxidation reaction, can be used as anti-aging, improve immunity health care products, can also be used as female beauty cosmetics, with skin care anti-wrinkle, freckle and anti-aging effect. For example, L citrulline malate is already an amino acid salt health care product with increasing sales in the international market. It can be made into conventional solid preparations, such as tablets, powders, granules, capsules, etc., into liquid preparations, such as water or oily suspension agents, etc., or other liquid preparations such as syrups. The sugar-free citrulline oral spray and effervescent tablets invented by Zhao Li can be well absorbed by all kinds of people, supplement the nutrients needed in the body, delay aging and improve immunity. Some citrulline health care products in Europe and the United States have also been listed.
Application :
L-citrulline has many important physiological functions, such as scavenging free radicals, indicator of allogeneic rejection effect, vasodilator effect, stable blood pressure, diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, antioxidant, etc. In addition, it also has a very significant role in restoring energy and improving human immunity. In recent years, L-citrulline has been paid more and more attention in the fields of food, cosmetics and drugs, and has a wide range of development and application prospects.
