Could be helping, time will tell

I bought this because I heard it would help me maintain energy throughout my workout. I had started weight training, doing yoga and swimming three days a week at the gym and then doing cardio at home on the three alternate days with a break on Sunday. I was getting great results, and I still am, but I noticed about two weeks ago I began to get really, really fatigued halfway through my sets in the weight room. I had not recently increased the weights nor had I made any significant changes in my diet, but the energy I normally had throughout my workout was just gone. I was panicked and wanted to find some way to regain that energy without using stimulants like caffeine. I read several articles and this supplement was mentioned so I decided to try it. Today was my first day using it. I only used (as instructed on the packaging) one rounded teaspoon in the morning before I went to the gym. I had read other people's comments about the super sour taste, and decided it would be easier to dissolve the product in a small bit of water (make a concentrate) and down it in one gulp. They were right...it tastes like the candy Warheads. Thankfully it's over fast that way and I can handle it. At first I didn't think it worked because only about three quarters the way through my very first set of weights I began to feel fatigued, but after I pushed on through it and moved on to the next exercise I began to do much better, and I was energetic up until I hit the water to swim which is about an hour and a half before my workout ends. Still, I really only need the boost in the weight training area, so if this product is the reason I felt better then it is well worth the money (which is very reasonable to begin with).I would be interested in tips for staying energetic (foods to eat, supplements to take, etc..) from the crazy amount of experienced weight trainers reviewing this product. I can't afford to "stack" as I've seen you folks do, but I would appreciate tips in other areas, especially a good breakfast that carries you through without loading you up on calories and carbs.

Works Great!

I ordered this product after doing a lot of homework on arginine and coming to the conclusion that supplementing with citrulline would be my best bet for the effects I'm after.I'm anemic and I noticed that every time I would take something with arginine/citrulline I would get an incredible amount of clean energy and focus. I'm forever trying to permanently squash my caffeine habit so I started experimenting with other "outside the box" ways to get energy and have found amino acids to be a gift from above. I have a pet theory that anything that helps with blood flow will have a particularly positive effect on my system since I am anemic so on a whim I ordered this to test my theory out.I'm glad I did. As usual I'm pleased with the product itself; the speed it got to me and the kind customer service emails are a nice bonus as well. I love the simple packaging. The powder itself is super fine and disappears in water. I use a small shaker cup for all my powders and with a few shakes the citrulline is completely dissolved. I've also just dumped it into a cup and swirled it around until the powder dissolved. The citrulline does not clump at the bottom. If there's any residue in the cup when I'm done I have yet to notice it.I found the powder to have a faint sweet smell but the taste is more tart. If I mix it into water I barely notice it; it reminds me of lemonade. I'm considering making a jug of pink lemonade and dumping some into it because it seems like the citrulline would make a nice addition to that kind of drink.Overall I am pleased with the product. I love this company and will continue ordering with them. Their prices are great and I have yet to have gotten anything from them that did not perform better than I expected. Another fine product and happy customer.

The media could not be loaded. There are several benefits to taking this. I get better pumps and blow flow in and out of the gym. It also makes me more alert and focused with zero jittery affects. A must for those who lift and stay active!!

L-Citrulline DL-Malate

B. · 25 November 2014

L-Citrulline is one of the three dietary amino acids in the urea cycle, alongside L-arginine and L-Ornithine.L-Citrulline is used as a sports performance and cardiovascular health supplement. L-Citrulline supplementation results in reduced fatigue and improved endurance for both aerobic and anaerobic prolonged exercise. There is not enough evidence to support the claim that L-citrulline supplementation improves power output during exercise.Supplementing L-citrulline also increases ornithine and arginine plasma content. This means L-citrulline supplementation improves the ammonia recycling process and nitric oxide metabolism. L-citrulline is also used to alleviate erectile dysfunction caused by high blood pressure.After supplementation, L-citrulline is converted into arginine in the kidneys. Supplemental L-arginine provides a spike of L-arginine in plasma, while supplemental L-citrulline increases arginine plasma levels over a longer period of time.L-arginine and L-ornithine are subject to reduced absorption when supplemented in doses of 10g or more, which can result in diarrhea. L-Citrulline does not have this side-effect, and since it increases plasma levels of all three amino acids, it is generally preferred as a supplement over L-arginine. Though L-citrulline doubles ornithine plasma content, L-ornithine supplementation can increase ornithine plasma content even more, by 300 – 500 percent.We still don't know if ornithine's benefits are dose-dependent or whether a doubling is sufficient. It is wholly plausible that ornithine supplementation is not needed with citrullineRegardless of whether or not arginine supplementation would confer additional benefits alongside citrulline, they should additively increase serum levels (different transporters)It appears to be the best of the three main amino acids of the urea cycle, probably just because it is an efficient way of getting the other two increased.
