Are there authorised health claims for L-Citrulline?

No authorised health claim has been approved for L-Citrulline under EU or GB law. We describe it simply: what it is, where it comes from, how much is in the formula and what published research has and has not established.

Amino acid

L-Citrulline

L-citrulline is a non-essential amino acid, named after watermelon (Citrullus), and part of the urea cycle. The kidneys convert it to L-arginine.

Honest information about L-Citrulline

L-Citrulline is included in our formulas as a botanical ingredient with traditional wellness heritage. No authorised health claim has been approved for it under EU or GB law, so we share only its identity, origin, dose and documented history — never implied benefits.

Claims held “on hold” pending evaluation are treated here as unauthorised. We will not imply an effect through images, testimonials or suggestive wording either.
