Because L-Citrulline largely bypasses first-pass liver metabolism (where some L-Arginine is broken down before reaching the bloodstream), research suggests that L-Citrulline may raise plasma L-Arginine levels more efficiently, gram for gram, than supplementing L-Arginine directly
Our relationship with our body is one of, if not the most important relationships in our lives
But before you start, lets dive into what you really need to know
When glucose levels are high, insulin stimulates the acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity leading to an increased production of malonyl-CoA, which, in turn, inhibits the carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT-I), one of the components of the carnitine transport system, thus significantly limiting the amount of LCFAs available for -oxidation in a healthy, well-fed organism (14, 15)

Unlike standard dosing, microdosing GLP-1 allows patients to gradually adjust to treatment while minimizing side effects
