The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reported receiving several adverse events following the administration of an affected lot “potentially subpotent” L-Citrulline.

L-Citrulline is used to treat urea cycle disorders, and subpotent levels of L-Citrulline can cause potentially life-threatening high levels of ammonia, according to an FDA report.
