Citrulline Malate 2:1
CITRULLINE MALATE improves training intensity, endurance and speed of recovery. It performs this through 5 main functions:
-
Increases blood Arginine levels (gram for gram at double the level of Arginine).
-
Increases endothelial Nitric Oxide (NO) levels thereby improving vascular function and blood flow.
-
Improves kidney bicarbonate reabsorption providing a powerful buffer against increasing muscle acidification during intense training.
-
Detoxifies fatigued muscle tissue by removing ammonia (a toxin that can increase 3-fold during intense training).
-
Rapidly replenishes PCr (phospho-creatine) stores, PCr is a key storage of energy muscles tap into.
Aside from assisting with delivery and absorption, the Malate has a critical function in the TCA (or Krebs) cycle that produces energy within the mitochondria. Specific research has shown a 34% increase in the rate of oxidative ATP, 20% increase in post-exercise phosphocreatine recovery and significant reduction in the sensation of fatigue.
Take 1 scoop (2 g) of ALLMAX Citrulline Malate [2:1] up to 3 times daily, upon waking and approx. 45 minutes before training or any intense physical activity. On non-training days, consume prior to meals on an empty stomach. Can be added to pre-workout formulas such as ACUTS and IMPACT PUMP. Citrulline Malate is highly synergistic with Arginine, Beta-Alanine and Creatine supplementation.
