Nutricost Citrulline Malate 2:1 (300g Powder)
by Nutricost
"3g citrulline malate per scoop (100 servings) — the budget nitric oxide booster for pump and endurance at $0.20 per serving"
Overview
Nutricost Citrulline Malate 2:1 provides 3g of citrulline malate per scoop in a 300g unflavored powder. Citrulline malate is L-citrulline bound to malic acid in a 2:1 ratio. L-citrulline is converted to L-arginine in the kidneys, which is then converted to nitric oxide — a vasodilator that increases blood flow, nutrient delivery, and muscle pumps. Malic acid participates in the Krebs cycle for ATP production, potentially supporting endurance. The 2:1 ratio means approximately 2g of citrulline and 1g of malic acid per 3g serving. For maximum pump, research suggests 6-8g of citrulline malate (2 scoops). The unflavored powder mixes easily into any pre-workout stack.
