A member asked:
I have one kidney that is working very well . i do exercise, have sex etc. is citrulline safe for me to take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Would not: Amino acids (which citrulline is one of) are not safe for kidneys esp for long term use. It is enough to eat healthy and exercise like you are doing. Some cases of kidney disease have been reported from use of amino acids.
