Citrulline Malate helps to enable more muscle growth by increasing Nitric Oxide production and excreting metabolic waste products i.e. lactate and ammonia. This results in a major increase in strength, reduction in muscular fatigue and faster recovery time. Read the full product description for more information.

What is Citrulline Malate?

Citrulline Malate, or L-Citrulline Malate, is a non-essential amino acid that the body can naturally synthesize. Despite the fact that it can be produced naturally by the body, studies have found that increasing your citrulline malate consumption on a regular basis, can provide a number of benefits for the human body, which we’ll be covering shortly. Believe it or not, but Citrulline malate is actually primarily found in melons and apples, as well as various other foods. In melons for example, citrulline is present, whereas the malate is a natural derivative of apples. If you’re wondering if it would be cheaper to just buy a whole mass of apples and melons instead, the answer is no because to get sufficient enough quantities in order to boost athletic performance and fitness, you simply would not be able to eat enough fruit in one sitting, which is why the supplements are so important.

How does it work?

Basically, cirtulline can be naturally obtained via food, or, the human body can actually produce it via ornithine, which is another amino acid that is obtained via dietary sources. The citrulline is created via the urea cycle, which is a natural process that rids the body of ammonia, lactic acid, and other harmful compounds. Citrulline malate has also been found to naturally increase arginine levels, which in turn helps to create more Nitric Oxide. NO, works to help increase circulation and blood flow, which is one of the main reasons why citrulline malate is considered so beneficial for people looking to increase and improve their athletic performances. The reduction in ammonia and lactic acid, which can cause muscle fatigue and muscle cramps, is also very beneficial, as that can help the muscles work harder and for longer, before they fatigue. It has even been found to help increase ATP, or Adenosine Tri-Phosphate, which is a primary energy source used by the muscles.

What are the benefits of taking Citrulline Malate supplements?

In terms of athletic performance, there are a number of benefits associated with citrulline malate, so let’s take a look at some of the more prominent examples, shall we?

Improved athletic performance

First and foremost, one of the biggest benefits associated with this supplement is the fact that it increases athletic performance by such a great deal. To begin with, it helps increase NO levels, which in turn help to increase circulation, allowing oxygen and energy-rich blood to be carried around the body in larger quantities. It also increases ATP as it functions as an intermediate in the krebs cycle, making it a fantastic supplement in terms of athletic performance.

Reduced muscle cramps and fatigue

You could argue that this could be associated with being able to increase athletic performance, and whilst that is true, it still deserves its own little sub-section for different reasons. As it helps to reduce ammonia and lactic acid production, the muscles can work harder and faster, and for longer, before they fatigue. Muscle cramps and fatigue can lead to reduced athletic performance and can increase your chance of injury, which is why citrulline malate is considered so beneficial for anybody looking to avoid injury.

More vascularity

For bodybuilders and people generally looking to get in shape, citrulline malate is ideal as the Nitric Oxide works as a vasodilator, dilating the blood vessels and allowing more blood to flow through them. The more blood that flows through them, the more vascular and pumped you will look, which will help give you a mental boost.

Other benefits include:

• Increased athletic performance
• Reduced chance of injury
• Increased blood flow and oxygen transportation
• Reduced lactic acid build ups
• More energy
• Increased ATP production
• Increased vascularity and muscle pumps
• And more...

How and when should it be consumed?

Health Canada Recommended Dose (powder): Scoop size: 5 g. Adults: 1 Scoop(s) 1 time(s) per day. Mix product well in 1-2 cups of liquid (water, juice, etc.) immediately before consumption.

What can it be stacked with?

Citrulline malate is a potent performance enhancing supplement that can be stacked with a whole host of similar supplements. Many people will stack it with a NO booster, BCAAs, whey protein, and dextrose for a post-workout shake like no other.

Citrulline Malate VS Beta Alanine

Beta alanine is a very similar supplement to citrulline malate, although the two do have their differences. Citrulline malate for example, is ideal for muscle pumps and stamina, whereas beta alanine has been found to promote increases in stamina and endurance.

Potential side effects
