Published in Nutrition & Metabolism
Methodology
Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of oral L-citrulline on brachial and aortic blood pressure stratified by resting status.
Key Findings
Effects on resting brachial blood pressure were small and largely non-significant; reductions were more apparent in aortic and non-resting measurements.
Conclusions
Blood pressure benefits of L-citrulline are inconsistent and depend on measurement conditions.
Limitations
Few trials per subgroup, heterogeneity in dose and duration, largely healthy or pre-hypertensive samples.
Supplements Studied
Effects on resting brachial blood pressure were small and largely non-significant.
