Citrulline Malate

Citrulline is an amino acid made naturally in the body, found in food and available as a dietary supplement. Citrulline was first found in watermelon. Citrulline malate refers to the combination of citrulline and another compound called malate, which is important for energy production. Increasing your intake may have beneficial effects on health and exercise performance.

Citrulline may increase blood flow by increasing nitric oxide production. It may also produce positive effects on muscle by stimulating protein synthesis and decreasing amino acid breakdown. It has also shown the ability of the blood vessels to widen, which can potentially improve blood pressure and blood flow to tissues.

Citrulline may increase oxygen content in the muscles and improve exercise performance. Both endurance performance and weight training performance may be improved by taking supplements.
