Technical Details & Test Data
- Mechanism of Action
- MicroActive® (MA) L-Citrulline increases absorption by reducing particle size to less than 10 microns, thereby promoting more efficient transport through the digestive tract and cell walls.
- In addition, the proprietary mix of polymers in MA L-Citrulline slows the release rate allowing for absorption over a longer time period. Evidence supports the claim that this combination of greater absorption and sustained release creates a more uniform absorption from subject-to-subject.
- In fact, in a GI simulation study it was shown that MA L-Citrulline, at a 60% concentration, exhibited 80% of elemental release (i.e., release of the pure L-citrulline from the formulation) and continued to release for up to 10 hours.
Safety & Health
- Safety
- L-Citrulline is a safe, naturally occurring essential nutrient found in a number of protein food sources, including milk, legumes, meats and fish.
- MicroActive® Citruline is produced using all GRAS-approved ingredients that were subject to numerous safety studies, including acute toxicity in both humans and animals.
