The Claim
Daily supplementation with 10 grams of L-citrulline for four weeks significantly improves brachial artery flow-mediated dilation by 1.6% and reduces resting aortic systolic blood pressure by 4 mmHg in hypertensive postmenopausal women, indicating enhanced endothelial function and reduced arterial stiffness in this population.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Taking 10 grams of L-citrulline daily for four weeks leads to a measurable improvement in blood vessel function and a small reduction in blood pressure in women with high blood pressure who have gone through menopause.
See the scientific wording
Four weeks of daily 10-gram L-citrulline supplementation significantly improves brachial artery flow-mediated dilation by 1.6% and reduces resting aortic systolic blood pressure by 4 mmHg in hypertensive postmenopausal women, indicating enhanced endothelial function and reduced arterial stiffness in this population.
What the research says
1 studyThis study found that taking 10 grams of L-citrulline every day for four weeks helped improve blood flow and lower blood pressure in women with high blood pressure after menopause, exactly as the claim says.
