Au Vodka Green Watermelon 70cl

Product Information

Your body uses lycopene to some extent to form beta carotene, which is then converted into vitamin A. SUMMARY Research on watermelon juice (or citrulline) and exercise performance gives mixed results. One study found no effect, while another observed improved performance in untrained — but not well-trained — individuals ( 35, 36). SUMMARY Though watermelon is one of the best dietary sources of citrulline, you would have to consume about 15 cups (2.3 kg) at once to meet the Reference Daily Intake (RDI) for arginine ( 19). Lycopene Both citrulline and arginine play an important role in the synthesis of nitric oxide, which helps lower blood pressure by dilating and relaxing your blood vessels ( 13).

Watermelon consists mostly of water (91%) and carbs (7.5%). It provides almost no protein or fat and is very low in calories. The carbs are mostly simple sugars, such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose. Watermelon also provides a small amount of fiber.

Insulin resistance is the condition in which your cells become resistant to the effects of insulin. This can lead to elevated blood sugar levels and is linked to metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Watermelon juice and arginine intake are associated with reduced insulin resistance in some studies ( 31, 32, 33). Reduced Muscle Soreness After Exercise

Human studies show that fresh watermelon juice is effective at raising blood levels of both lycopene and beta carotene ( 24). One study showed that watermelon juice is effective at decreasing muscle soreness following exercise ( 34).Supplementing with watermelon or its juice may reduce blood pressure and arterial stiffness in people with high blood pressure ( 27, 28, 29, 30).
