Nutraceutical Profile

ImmunCR Id : ICR58
Chemical Name : Citrulline
Plant Source : Citrullus lanatus
Nutraceutical information : Edible, Watermelon
Mode of administration : OraL, Liquid, intramuscular injection
Immunomodulatory mechanism : Inhibit JAK2-STAT1 signaling pathway; It has cardioprotective properties by simulating the production of nitric oxide whose levels can be controlled by regulating citrulline administration. Anti-aging (upregulates mtor signaling)
Description : It a water soluble, colorless, non-protein amino acid, the product of a central reaction in urea cycle produced from carbamoyl phosphate and ornithine, can also be synthesized from arginine. The plasma citrulline is a known biomarker for small bowel enterocyte mass.
