Au Vodka Green Watermelon 70cl

Product Information

Your body uses lycopene to some extent to form beta carotene, which is then converted into vitamin A. SUMMARY Studies note that watermelon juice is a good source of citrulline and can increase blood levels of both citrulline and arginine considerably ( 15, 17, 18). Both citrulline and arginine play an important role in the synthesis of nitric oxide, which helps lower blood pressure by dilating and relaxing your blood vessels ( 13).

Nitric oxide is a gas molecule that causes the tiny muscles around your blood vessels to relax and dilate. This leads to a reduction in blood pressure ( 26).

One study showed that watermelon juice is effective at decreasing muscle soreness following exercise ( 34). Though watermelon is one of the best dietary sources of citrulline, you would have to consume about 15 cups (2.3 kg) at once to meet the Reference Daily Intake (RDI) for arginine ( 19). Lycopene

Human studies show that fresh watermelon juice is effective at raising blood levels of both lycopene and beta carotene ( 24). A summer classic with a pool party twist!

THE COLLECTION

Watermelon is a good source of citrulline, which is converted into arginine in your body. Both of these amino acids aid nitric oxide production. Watermelon is the richest known dietary source of the amino acid citrulline. The highest amount is found in the white rind that surrounds the flesh ( 9, 11, 12).

However, each serving of watermelon is relatively low in carbs, so eating it should not have a major effect on blood sugar levels. FibersInsulin resistance is the condition in which your cells become resistant to the effects of insulin. This can lead to elevated blood sugar levels and is linked to metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
