Fitness-Friendly Citrulade Smoothies

California Gold Nutrition Citrulade contains three beneficial amino acids: L-arginine, L-citrulline and L-carnitine. L-arginine is known to increase blood flow and reduce inflammation. L-citrulline is also touted for its ability to improve blood flow and can increase protein levels in the muscles. Finally, l-carnitine can help with weight loss and endurance.

Although the body can produce these amino acids, supplementation with Citrulade could be beneficial for fitness-minded individuals.
