Citrulline Malate Benefits
Citrulline malate converts to arginine in the body. This process promotes nitric oxide levels and vascularity. This increased blood flow to the muscles leads to the pump we feel when exercising.
Exercise induced fatigue and muscle soreness are reduced as well.
Powder Dosage and Instructions
Take 3 to 9 grams of citrulline malate 2:1 up to twice daily. 3 grams is about 1 tsp. Start with 3 grams and increase your next dosage if muscle pump is not noticeably increased.
Take citrulline malate between 45 and 60 minutes before workouts.
