Researched for: exercise performance and nitric oxide
Also known as: L-Citrulline DL-malate
Citrulline malate combines L-citrulline with malate in ratios that are not consistently standardized across commercial products. Acute resistance-exercise trials commonly studied 8 g about 40-60 minutes before exercise, with both positive and null findings. Results cannot be assumed to apply across different citrulline-to-malate ratios.
Catalog descriptions reflect research context only. Not a medical claim or treatment recommendation.
Data source: Randomized exercise trials plus current retail and community market checks
Reflects preclinical/research literature context only. Not a medical claim, dosing instruction, or treatment recommendation.
Amounts and schedules are separated by administration route. Evidence badges distinguish labels, human studies, preclinical work, community reports, and evidence gaps.
8 g as a single pre-exercise dose
Context: randomized trials PMID 26658899 and PMID 29210953
Formulation: Oral-mucosal formulations are not dose-equivalent to injectable or topical formulations.
Route safety: Non-human or laboratory exposure. It cannot be converted into a human dose.
Do not convert an amount between routes. Bioavailability, formulation, sterility, monitoring, and clinical context differ by route. Research-use context only; independently verify every cited source.

Current retail packaging is commonly 250 g 500 g or 1 kg. Reddit discussions confirm these sizes and highlight inconsistent 2:1 versus lower citrulline ratios; those reports are market context only.
