L-citrulline is a non-essential amino acid associated with malic acid.

Function

  It can improve endurance performance by acting on the need for recovery between close bouts of repeated effort by reducing it. Products containing citrulline malate may therefore benefit athletes who have to compete in spaced-out tests, such as boxers, who compete in rounds interspersed with periods of rest.

Negative notes

  Citrulline malate has no adverse effects.

Form and posology

  Citrulline malate is available on the market in tablet and soluble powder form. Dosage recommendations for improving endurance performance are 12-18g for at least 13 days.
