What is Citrulline Malate
Citrulline malate is a compound which is made by combining citrulline and malate salt or malic acid.
Citrulline malate is also known by names like citrulline and citrulline ethyl ester. Various citrulline benefits can be experienced by those who consume citrulline malate in the recommended amount.
The most important reason why citrulline malate is mostly popular is the stamina and elated energy levels that it provides for athletes and bodybuilders. It prepares their body to fight with muscle fatigue and boots the performance by enhancing muscle mass and quick recovery level. It is the reason why citrulline malate is often consumed and recommended by people who indulge in weight training and other such intense exercise routines.
Citrulline malate side effects are observed in case of its overdose. Citrulline malate removes body toxins and endotoxins like ammonia, lactic acid saturations. All these things affect performance and energy level of a person.
Citrulline is a non-essential amino acid (meaning it cannot be produced by the body) and plays a role in nitrogen balance and metabolic processes. Citrulline is found in the rinds of watermelons and research is currently being conducted to grow watermelons with higher levels of citrulline in the center of the melons due the significant health benefits of citrulline.
Supplemental citrulline malate is a salt form of the amino acid. The malate, or malic acid, is found in fruits such as apples and enhances the effects of citrulline. Malic acid takes part in aerobic cellular respiration where oxygen and a carbon compound (acetyl Co-A) are used to produce immediate energy and CO2 in the mitochondria of the cell. This is called the Kreb’s cycle. Malate conditions the recycling of lactate and pyruvate promoting efficient energy production and protecting muscles from fatigue.
Citrulline bypasses uptake in the liver and is circulated for distribution to the kidneys, brain, muscle and other tissues for conversion to arginine.
