Advanced Healing Using L-Citrulline vs. L-Arginine
L-Citrulline: The Nitric Oxide Booster
When it comes to supporting wound recovery from the inside out, circulation is everything. Nutrients, oxygen, and immune cells all rely on healthy blood flow to reach damaged tissue. That’s where L-Citrulline, a naturally occurring amino acid, comes into play.
Found in foods like watermelon and also produced naturally by the body, L-Citrulline plays a vital role in the urea cycle (removing waste like ammonia) and in nitric oxide (NO) production—a key factor for vascular health and tissue repair. L-Citrulline helps keep blood moving and cells fueled for recovery.
Why L-Citrulline Outperforms L-Arginine
Both L-Citrulline and L-Arginine are tied to nitric oxide production, but research shows L-Citrulline has a clear edge in effectiveness.
Here’s why:
* L-Arginine’s drawback: Ingested L-Arginine is rapidly broken down in the gut and liver by the enzyme arginase, leaving less available for the bloodstream.
* L-Citrulline’s advantage: It bypasses the liver entirely and is converted into L-Arginine in the kidneys, making it a steadier and more bioavailable source.
* Proven results: Studies consistently show L-Citrulline raises blood arginine levels more effectively—and for longer—than direct L-Arginine supplementation.
This makes L-Citrulline a powerful way to keep nitric oxide levels optimized, supporting better circulation where it’s needed most.
How L-Citrulline in WoundWorx Supports Recovery
Each serving of WoundWorx provides 500 mg of L-Citrulline, a clinically supported amount for nitric oxide support and healthy circulation. Within a comprehensive nutrient blend, L-Citrulline may help:
- Encourage healthy blood flow through nitric oxide production
- Deliver oxygen and nutrients more efficiently to tissues
- Support immune response and collagen production
- Maintain nitric oxide levels longer than L-Arginine
What is WoundWorx used for?
1. Pre & Post-Operative Support
WoundWorx delivers targeted nutrients to support tissue regeneration, collagen synthesis, and immune function—important factors in recovery after surgery.
2. Chronic Wounds
For those with slow-healing wounds such as diabetic ulcers or pressure sores, WoundWorx is formulated to help address nutritional gaps, support microvascular health, and promote ongoing tissue repair.
L-Citrulline isn’t just an amino acid—it’s a circulation ally. By enhancing nitric oxide production, it works behind the scenes to keep nutrients flowing, immune defenses strong, and tissue repair on track.
Each serving of WoundWorx provides 175 mg of L-Citrulline, a clinically supported amount for nitric oxide support and healthy circulation.
