Description
COA-BACKED NUTRITIONAL INGREDIENT
L-Citrulline for B2B Formulation
L-Citrulline is supplied as a single-entity amino acid for B2B nutrition, beverage and supplement formulation. The purchasing definition is the declared assay, the impurity profile and the physical form rather than a botanical identity.

Buyer Decision Guide
L-Citrulline is specified on assay, specific rotation or chiral purity where relevant, and on heavy metal and microbiological limits. Confirm which of these your finished-product specification actually controls before approving a grade.
- Confirm assay basis and analytical method
- Check the salt or free-form identity: L-Citrulline
- Review specific rotation or chiral purity if applicable
- Confirm heavy metal and microbiological limits
How This Grade Differs
L-Citrulline is a single-entity amino acid. It is not interchangeable with the racemic or salt form of the same molecule, and not with a plant extract that merely contains it. Compare assay basis, salt form and impurity profile when substituting.
Compare these related grades before approval:
For a substitution review, compare botanical identity, plant part, assay target, analytical method, physical form and the current offered-batch COA.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the material behave in your process?
It is supplied as Fine white crystalline powder at 98% through 80 mesh, so bulk density and flow are confirmed against your process before the first order.
Which batch is the quotation based on?
The page cites representative batch LXGA260812; the current lot’s certificate governs release.
Which mesh size can you supply?
98% through 80 mesh as standard; other sizes are reviewed against your sieving or blending step.
What do you declare for moisture and ash?
Both are released against the limits on the approved specification; the measured result for your lot appears on its COA.
How should the material be stored after arrival?
Two years when stored properly. Keep the pack sealed; moisture uptake is the main risk for this grade.
What packing options are available?
Standard packing is a sealed food-grade inner liner inside an export carton or fibre drum. Pack size, labelling and private-label artwork are agreed in the written specification.
What is the usual lead time?
Regular production normally takes 7-15 working days after deposit, depending on stock, volume, testing and customisation requirements.
Can I get a sample before placing the order?
Yes. An evaluation sample is normally available before a formal order. Sample quantity, courier account and destination are confirmed at the time of request.
