Use

1. Prevention and Treatment of Prostate Diseases
Citrulline has significant effects in preventing and treating prostate-related conditions, including prostatitis, prostate swelling, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate enlargement, and prostate cancer.
2. Improvement of Male Sexual Function
Citrulline helps the body produce nitric oxide (NO), which is a vital substance for male sexual performance and function.
3. Anti-Aging and Immune System Enhancement
Research has shown that citrulline possesses strong antioxidant properties. It can scavenge hydroxyl radicals and increase the availability of arginine, which is essential for nitric oxide synthesis. By doing so, it effectively protects DNA and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) from oxidative damage. Citrulline can be used as a health supplement for anti-aging and immune support, and also as an ingredient in women's cosmetic and skincare products, offering benefits such as skin nourishment, wrinkle prevention, spot reduction, and anti-aging effects.
