Supplementation of L-Citrulline and Glutathione
-
For a while now I've regularly been taking l-citrulline and glutathione, the reduced form. L-citrulline is converted to arginine in the kidneys, which is a precursor to NO, which opens up blood vessels, which is very good for exercise (I do judo). Several studies show that glutathione, when combined with l-citrulline, improves both NO production and muscle growth (I just grabbed these few from Grok):
Combined L-citrulline and glutathione supplementation increases the concentration of markers indicative of nitric oxide synthesis

https://www.journalofexerciseandnutrition.com/index.php/JEN/article/view/210But only after starting Peating did I learn that NO and increased glutathione are potentially MEGA BAD. Am I cooked? In other words, would it be a good idea to quit the l-citrulline and glutathione?

I can't decide if I should keep using citrulline or not
