It's bursting onto the fitness scene in a big way, helping people of all ages break through the boundaries of personal health and fitness. L-citrulline is active in both the Krebs cycle and the Urea cycle of metabolism, which means it promotes energy production to fuel activity while simultaneously helping to rid the body of metabolic waste products, helping to promote muscle recovery after exercise\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e.
