L-Citruline :
L-Citrulline is a substance called a non-essential amino acid. Your kidneys change L-citrulline into another amino acid called L-arginine and a chemical called Nitric Oxide.

Nitrates for heart disease
ED drugs such as sildenafil (Revatio, Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), or vardenafil (Levitra, Staxyn)

Do not use L-citrulline if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Always tell your doctor about any supplements you are taking. That way, your doctor can check on any potential side effects or interactions with any medications.
L-histidine:
It is an essential amino acid, meaning that it must be obtained through dietary sources. It is also one of the 23 proteinogenic amino acids, which are used to synthesize proteins. L-histidine is a precursor for histamine, which plays an essential role in localized immune responses. It is also the precursor for other important organic compounds such as anserine and carnosine.
Benefits of L-Histadine :
L-Histadine is used in the production of myelin sheaths, which support nerve cells.
L-Histadine supports the digestive system by stimulating the secretion of gastic juices such as pepsin and hydrochloric acid.
L-Histadine helps to remove excess heavy metals from the body, especially zinc. This action can provide an antioxidant effect that supports cells against various types of damage.
L-Histadine supports healthy joint functioning, especially when synovial fluid in the joints contains gamma globulin. This globular protein can cause unhealthy inflammatory conditions.
Side Effects of L-Histadine :
For some people, adding L-histidine to their diet as a supplement can lead to some gastrointestinal discomfort. It is because of the pH of the supplements. Adding HCL (hydrochloric acid) to their supplement can often ease these issues.
You should not take histidine if you are on blood pressure medications. Be sure to consult a doctor first. It is unclear if histidine is safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women. For that reason, it is best to avoid supplementation.
Sometimes, if you take histidine supplements over a long period can lead to low zinc, iron and copper levels, so it is advisable to take these supplements along with histidine.
