What is L-Citrulline DL-Malate?
L-Citrulline is an amino acid the body converts to L-Arginine through kidney metabolism. DL-Malate refers to the malic acid salt form combined with citrulline in this compound.
Why is it more bioavailable than L-Arginine alone?
Unlike oral L-Arginine, which is substantially broken down before reaching systemic circulation, L-Citrulline bypasses this limitation through its kidney conversion pathway, resulting in more reliable increases in plasma L-Arginine levels.
What does the research say?
Research on L-Citrulline supplementation has shown associations with improved exercise performance, reduced muscle soreness, and better oxygen delivery in some trials. The evidence base for L-Citrulline is considered more consistent than for L-Arginine alone.
L-Citrulline's role in MaxVitalize
Combined with L-Arginine and Beet Root, L-Citrulline forms a rationally designed nitric oxide stack that addresses the same pathway through complementary mechanisms. See the full ingredients breakdown.
Safety considerations
L-Citrulline is generally well tolerated. Consult a doctor if you take blood pressure medication, since it may have additive vasodilating effects.
