Yamamoto® Nutrition introduces Citrulline MALATE, a dietary supplement providing 3 grams of Citrulline Malate, designed for athletes gearing up for intense physical activities.

Citrulline Malate is formed by combining the amino acid citrulline, naturally found in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), with malic acid—an organic acid abundant in various fruits. Both citrulline and malic acid are crucial intermediates in metabolic cycles and proteins.

The integration of L-Citrulline has proven to be beneficial in elevating arginine levels (along with citrulline) in the bloodstream, making them available for nitric oxide synthesis and other associated functions. Increased availability of arginine leads to the conversion into nitric oxide, inducing a vasodilatory effect that stimulates the cardiovascular system and enhances the reflex elasticity of blood vessels.

The vasodilation triggered by nitric oxide is utilized in medical contexts for treating mild erectile dysfunction and by athletes to optimize performance. It achieves this by boosting blood supply, ensuring a more efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues involved in physical exertion.

Citrulline Malate supplementation has gained popularity among athletes and bodybuilders engaged in rigorous training, seeking to enhance their performance and support their physiological demands.
