Citrulline Malate Muscle Soreness Meta-AnalysisSince lactate accumulation has been associated with muscle fatigue and soreness, the secondary outcome was to assess the effect of citrulline supplements on blood lactate levels after exercise.1Rhim Hye Chang (2020)Effect of citrulline on post-exercise rating of perceived exertion, muscle soreness, and blood lactate levels: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Citrulline Malate Muscle Soreness Meta-AnalysisThe quality of each article was assessed based on the Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomized controlled trials.Unpublished clinical trials were also searched using the term “citrulline” on ClinicalTrials.gov to identify any unpublished trials.1Rhim Hye Chang (2020)Effect of citrulline on post-exercise rating of perceived exertion, muscle soreness, and blood lactate levels: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Citrulline Malate Muscle Soreness Meta-AnalysisOther studies had a low risk for performance bias in that they masked placebo treatments by appearance and taste; in particular, 4 studies controlled for taste and smell by having participants wear a nose clip when consuming the supplement.1Rhim Hye Chang (2020)Effect of citrulline on post-exercise rating of perceived exertion, muscle soreness, and blood lactate levels: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Citrulline Malate Muscle Soreness Meta-AnalysisFirst, L-citrulline, one of the amino acids involved in the ureagenesis cycle, may facilitate the clearance of ammonia.1Rhim Hye Chang (2020)Effect of citrulline on post-exercise rating of perceived exertion, muscle soreness, and blood lactate levels: A systematic review and meta-analysis
