ATP Science L-Citrulline Malate

Citrulline Malate is an amazing tool for improvement of circulation and with it more oxygenation to the tissues as well as the efficient removal of excessive lactic acid during exercise.

The well-known and toted vasodilatory effects of Citrulline Malate provide an amazing pump effect for gym goers without the side effects of the added stimulants often found in NO (Nitric Oxide) inducing products, so you if you are a nocturnal trainer you can rest easy.

L-Citrulline Malate

We all know to drive your car faster, we press on the accelerator, which provides more fuel for the engine and we accelerate. In the human body, increases in circulation naturally brings greater amounts of nutrients (fuel) and oxygen to working muscles, while also providing greater waste disposal, including the lactic acid removal (you know, the burning pain we all get when he hit the gym, run or ride).

The combined effects of greater circulation leads to vast improvements in muscle strength and power, while reducing muscle soreness. This results in us being able to train harder, perform better, while reducing the muscle soreness that halts our training in its tracks. There is a chemical that resides within our blood vesicles which allow the wall of the blood vessels to relax and thus increases the circulation. This amazing chemical is known as nitric oxide.

Hitting the gym with L-Citrulline Malate

The benefits of L-Citrulline Malate doesn’t just help with circulation, L-Citrulline Malate will boost your workouts, without the usual ‘stimulant’ action. In a recent study, subjects completed significantly more repetitions throughout upper-body exercise when consuming CM versus placebo (34.1 ± 5.7 vs. 32.9 ± 6.0, respectively). When consuming CM, similar significant improvements in total repetitions completed were observed for lower-body exercise (66.7 ± 30.5 vs. 55.13 ± 20.64, respectively).

This means you can get through more squats! Overall rating of perceived exertion score was significantly lower  in upper-body exercise when subjects consumed CM versus placebo (7.9 ± 0.3 and 8.6 ± 0.2, respectively), meaning the subjects thought they were doing it easy in CM. Interestingly, CM exhibited no significant effects on heart rate at any time point. This means it was working at the level of the muscle and NOT working as a simple stimulant. CM is real muscle food and works where it is needed.

Wanna do more chin ups?

CM won’t just help you get through your ‘leg day’, it works throughout the whole body. In a study using trained male athletes, CM when compared to a placebo ingestion significantly increased the amount of repetitions performed for each exercise when compared to a placebo (chin-ups: placebo = 28.4 ± 7.1, CM = 32.2 ± 5.6; reverse chin-ups: placebo = 26.6 ± 5.6, CM = 32.1 ± 7.1: placebo = 89.1 ± 37.4, CM = 97.7 ± 36.1). Collectively, the study found that CM increased upper-body resistance performance in trained college-age males.
