What is the rda for l-citrilline (food, not supplements)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is none: Citrulline is an amino acid the body can produce by itself, so no recommended daily allowance has been established for it. There is no need for any specific amino acid supplement as long as you get the RDA of protein (0.8g protein per kg of body weight) from a variety of sources (vegetarians be sure to combine your proteins such as beans with rice, or eat cooked soy or quinoa). Note: 1kg = 2.2lb
