L-Citrulline HCl

What L-Citrulline HCl Is, Before We Get To HoneyPezil

---

L-Citrulline is an amino acid named after watermelon, Citrullus, where it was first found. Watermelon is still its best known food source.

Here is what makes it useful. Rather than being used for nitric oxide directly, citrulline gets picked up by your kidneys and converted into arginine. That sounds like a detour, but it is actually the shortcut — citrulline skips most of the breakdown in the gut and liver that catches swallowed arginine. The result is that citrulline often raises arginine levels in your blood better than taking arginine does.

The "HCl" just means it is supplied as a hydrochloride salt, which keeps it stable and gives you a high proportion of actual citrulline by weight.

Why HoneyPezil Includes L-Citrulline HCl

---

Citrulline HCl is arguably the most defensible ingredient on the HoneyPezil panel, because it addresses the known weakness of the arginine it sits beside.

With L-Citrulline Malate, it gives the formula two citrulline forms to match the two arginine forms — one pathway approached from four directions.

What The Evidence Says About L-Citrulline HCl In HoneyPezil

---

Citrulline's conversion to arginine, and arginine's role in nitric oxide, are both well documented. Research has looked at citrulline for blood flow and for exercise performance, and the finding that it raises blood arginine efficiently is reasonably consistent.

Most of that research uses doses measured in grams. HoneyPezil discloses its amounts on the panel, so you can check how the quantity here compares before you buy — which is more than most products in this category let you do.

You can browse the literature on PubMed. Those studies concern citrulline itself, not this product.

L-Citrulline HCl Safety And What To Expect From HoneyPezil

---

Citrulline is well tolerated, and generally causes less digestive upset than an equivalent amount of arginine. That is part of why formulators like it.

The nitrate warning applies here too. Citrulline ends up raising arginine, which feeds the same vessel-widening pathway that nitrate heart medications use. If you take nitrates, blood pressure medication or medication for erectile dysfunction, speak to your doctor before starting.

Not for anyone under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding.
