Citrulline Malate vs. L-Citrulline/L-Arginine

[TMac26]

L-Citrulline is better and has a better track record than L-Arginine, but L-Arginine DOES work.

In people with endothelial damage.

[NO HYPE]

L-Arginine DOES work.

For what?

Unfortunately most of the citrulline malate on the market is an ad-mixture, not bonded.

I'm assuming you mean that the citrulline & malate aren't bonded together. This one appears to be in crystal form so may well be: purebulk dot com/l-citrulline-dl-malate-2-1/

I just started looking into supps yesterday. Don't take any yet. I'm wondering if there's a difference between citrulline malate & L-citrulline DL-malate.

Any help would be great!

Thanks

I could be wrong but either of those should be the same thing with the exception on where your ordering from could be 1:1 or 1:2 ration cit:mal

The difference other that more often comes up is the difference between l-cit and cit mal, and that would be l-cit being pure Citrulline and cit mal being Citrulline and malic acid

Hope that info helps

Why does A-AKG get forgotten about....when NO2 came out people stopped me all the time to ask what roads I was using when I was natural.....

Is it due to the patents?

read the thread. because it doesn't work.

Folks, can anyone point me in the right direction to explain the difference between these? I'm not focusing on lifting, more triathlon training.

Thanks for any help.

Just to help you out man and clarify.

Basically, in layman's terms, L-Citrulline and L-Citrulline Malate are different in that plain L-citrulline is for endurance athletes and long distance runners such as yourself whereas L-citrulline malate better serves lifters and bodybuilders. L-citrulline is less quickly absorbed and does not contain malic acid as opposed to L-citrulline malate, which is useful in lifting. Malic acid functions to help citrulline absorb more quickly and aids in muscular energy production in addition to the NO boost.
So for you as a triathlon athlete, you will want to take plain L-citrulline. Whereas for me as a "bodybuilder" I prefer to take L-citrulline malate during my lifts.

you have this backwards.

Cit Malate is more endurance athlete friendly in theory

L-Citrulline is more bodybuilding/pump friendly in theory


IN THEORY
