Properties of Citrulline Malate

Citrulline malate is a non-essential amino acid that improves the physical performance. Taking citrulline malate increases the performance in endurance exercises and it reduces the perceived exertion on the upper body during the workout.^[1]

Citrulline malate is a precursor of nitric oxide and it can increase the sport performance. Taking citrulline malate before the workout can potentially improve the performance.^[2]

Citrulline malate can improve the metabolism of the skeletal muscle and the contractile efficacy.^[3]

Taking Citrulline increases the concentration of L-arginine in the plasma and increases the nitric oxide-dependent signalling. Moreover, it also increases the plasma concentration of citrulline, arginine, urea ornithine, creatine and nitrite and reduces the basal concentration of insulin until after the workout.^[4]

How can we combine Citrulline Malate?

You can combine Citrulline Malate with Beta-Alanine, Creatine, Caffeine and EvoBCAA's 2.0.

Who can benefit from Citrulline Malate?

• People who do physical exercise.
