topicCitrulline Blood Pressure Randomized Trial
claimThe primary objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to investigate whether L-citrulline supplementation can counteract the adverse effects of cold environments on individual blood pressure (BP), providing scientific evidence for the clinical development and application of L-citrulline as a cardiovascular protective nutritional supplement.

topicCitrulline Blood Pressure Randomized Trial
claimResults indicate that L-citrulline intake significantly reduced cold-induced SBP (-9.28 mmHg [95% CI: -10.66 to -7.90], p p = 0.01).

topicCitrulline Blood Pressure Randomized Trial
claimConclusion Citrulline supplementation may offer benefits for blood pressure regulation (up to 9 mmHg SBP reduction in some studies) in hypertensive postmenopausal women, but evidence for arterial stiffness, endothelial function, and metabolic outcomes remains inconsistent.
