Citrulline Endurance Performance Meta-AnalysisThrough its involvement in NO-related pathways, L-ARG supplementation has been associated with changes in vascular function and blood flow, which may influence exercise-related physiological responses (,–).4Uçar Halil (2026)Acute effects of citrulline malate and L-arginine, alone and in combination, on anaerobic performance indicators in highly trained taekwondo athletes
Citrulline Endurance Performance Meta-AnalysisHowever, the findings across these studies remain inconsistent, and conclusive evidence supporting clear performance or recovery benefits has yet to be established.4Uçar Halil (2026)Acute effects of citrulline malate and L-arginine, alone and in combination, on anaerobic performance indicators in highly trained taekwondo athletes
Citrulline Endurance Performance Meta-AnalysisNo significant sequence effect was detected (= 1.08,= 0.393, ηp= 0.213), and no significant period × sequence interaction was observed (= 1.04,= 0.430, ηp= 0.206), indicating no statistically significant evidence of meaningful carryover effects and supporting the adequacy of the 72-h washout period.4Uçar Halil (2026)Acute effects of citrulline malate and L-arginine, alone and in combination, on anaerobic performance indicators in highly trained taekwondo athletes
Citrulline Endurance Performance Meta-Analysis1 2 3 Taekwondo is a full-contact martial art in which successful performance is largely determined by the execution of high-force kicking techniques directed to the trunk protector or head of the opponent (,).4Uçar Halil (2026)Acute effects of citrulline malate and L-arginine, alone and in combination, on anaerobic performance indicators in highly trained taekwondo athletes
Citrulline Endurance Performance Meta-AnalysisThis narrative review synthesizes evidence on naturally derived compounds that influence these pathways, including guayusa, guarana, Alpinia galanga , theobromine, L-citrulline, beetroot extract, cordyceps, and niacin, as well as natural sweeteners such as monk fruit and stevia.4Panda R (2026)Synergistic Actions of Natural Compounds for Enhancing Cognitive and Physical Performance: A Narrative Review.
Citrulline Endurance Performance Meta-AnalysisEvidence suggests that these agents may support cognitive performance, oxygen efficiency, vascular perfusion, and cellular energy capacity through mechanisms distinct from those of traditional energy drinks.4Panda R (2026)Synergistic Actions of Natural Compounds for Enhancing Cognitive and Physical Performance: A Narrative Review.
Citrulline Endurance Performance Meta-AnalysisEnergy drinks are widely consumed for cognitive and physical enhancement, yet most commercial formulations rely on a narrow mechanism: rapid stimulation from synthetic caffeine combined with artificial sweeteners.4Panda R (2026)Synergistic Actions of Natural Compounds for Enhancing Cognitive and Physical Performance: A Narrative Review.
Citrulline Endurance Performance Meta-AnalysisThis stimulant-centric strategy overlooks the multidimensional physiology underlying sustained human energy, which emerges from interactions among neurocognitive activation, nitric oxide-mediated vascular function, mitochondrial ATP production, and metabolic homeostasis.4Panda R (2026)Synergistic Actions of Natural Compounds for Enhancing Cognitive and Physical Performance: A Narrative Review.
