Citrulline Malate

What It Is:
An amino acid compound (citrulline + malate) that increases nitric oxide production, boosting blood flow and endurance.

What It’s Used For:

• “Pump” effect — improved vascularity and nutrient delivery

• Better endurance and reduced fatigue

• Mild recovery boost

Typical Dose:

• 6–8 g about 30–45 minutes before training

Side Effects:

• Usually none, though some mild stomach discomfort if under-dissolved

Why It’s Rated 3.5 / 5:
Strong evidence for improved endurance and pumps, especially at higher doses. Great in pre-workouts, but not a full-spectrum performance booster by itself.
