Citrulline Malate (CM) 2:1 is an amino acid made from binding two molecules of L-Citrulline to an ester of malic acid (malate). Supplementing with citrulline malate increases the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) in the blood, which dilates blood vessels, increases blood flow, regulates glucose uptake and optimizes mitochondria function. This increases nutrient delivery and waste product clearance from working muscles, improving muscle function and reducing fatigue. CM has been shown to boost blood volume of nitric oxide by 50% as compared to other NO related amino acids. Supplementation with CM has shown to improve power output, strength and sustainability within the workout. Notably, citrulline malate supplementation may increase growth hormone levels, growth hormone is the “master” hormone in the body and contributes to a complete metabolism, and size, strength, and slows the aging process. Combined with branch chain amino acids, CM has the potential to elevate muscular endurance during training, and may contribute muscle protein synthesis (growth) and improve recovery.
