Citrulline malate for muscle vasodilation & strength
Citrulline malate enhances the perpetual muscle pump due to it being a precursor to arginine. As Agmatine it is well reported that Citrulline Malate is more effective at enhancing muscle pumps than L-arginine itself.
Increases in strength are common when taking citrulline malate, one study showed a 23% increase in force output. In another study done on trained weightlifters, citrulline malate increased reps per set, delayed fatigue, and decreased muscle soreness. In addition to it benefits for strength, allowing you to perform more reps, and combating soreness, Citrulline Malate supplements increases the rate of phosphocreatine restoration post-workout. This not only translates to strength benefits at the beginning of your workout but maintaining high levels of strength throughout your workout, allowing you to tear through weights easier.
Citrulline malate for endurance
Lactic acid is responsible for the burning sensation that occurs while exercising, and can also prevent you from running as far as you would like and lifting as long as you want to. The secondary action of citrulline malate is its ability to act as a buffer. It achieves this by supplementing the reabsorption of the body's natural buffers, such as bicarbonates.
Citrulline malate for recovery
Healthy blood flow associated with Citrulline malate can also aid post-workout recovery times.
