Citrulline Malate

Citrulline Malate is commonly used to improve blood flow, reduce muscle soreness, and enhance exercise performance. Citrulline serves as a precursor to arginine, which is a substrate for nitric oxide synthesis, leading to vasodilation and improved nutrient delivery to muscles. Malate plays a role in the Krebs cycle, potentially aiding in energy production. Studies have demonstrated that Citrulline Malate supplementation can increase aerobic and anaerobic performance, reduce perceived exertion, and decrease muscle soreness post-exercise. It is typically consumed in powder form mixed with water and is a popular ingredient in pre-workout supplements.

Citrulline is converted into arginine in the kidneys, which then increases nitric oxide synthesis, promoting vasodilation and improved oxygen and nutrient delivery to working muscles. Malate contributes to the Krebs cycle, potentially enhancing ATP production and reducing fatigue during exercise.
