L-Citrulline Resistance Training Performance Meta-AnalysisThe primary physiological effect of NO during exercise is vasodilation, leading to an increased supply of oxygen and energy substrates to muscle tissues [,].2Bayat Davoud (2025)Changes in resistance training performance, rating of perceived exertion, and blood biomarkers after six weeks of supplementation with L-citrulline vs. L-citrulline DL-malate in resistance-trained men: a double-blind placebo-controlled trial
L-Citrulline Resistance Training Performance Meta-AnalysisMost of the ergogenic properties of CIT supplements are attributed to LC’s role as an L-arginine precursor, which leads to increased L-arginine bioavailability and enhanced NO production.2Bayat Davoud (2025)Changes in resistance training performance, rating of perceived exertion, and blood biomarkers after six weeks of supplementation with L-citrulline vs. L-citrulline DL-malate in resistance-trained men: a double-blind placebo-controlled trial
L-Citrulline Resistance Training Performance Meta-AnalysisOnly those individuals were allowed to participate in the study who were considered low risk by the American College of Sports Medicine [], were nonsmokers, had not used any ergogenic supplements for 8 weeks prior to enrollment, and had no orthopedic problems or metabolic disorders that could interfere with the outcome measures or full commitment to the study protocol.2Bayat Davoud (2025)Changes in resistance training performance, rating of perceived exertion, and blood biomarkers after six weeks of supplementation with L-citrulline vs. L-citrulline DL-malate in resistance-trained men: a double-blind placebo-controlled trial
L-Citrulline Resistance Training Performance Meta-Analysis1 1 2 3 4 L-Citrulline (LC) is a non-essential, non-proteinogenic amino acid that has gained popularity as a Nitric Oxide (NO) enhancer in sports nutrition [].2Bayat Davoud (2025)Changes in resistance training performance, rating of perceived exertion, and blood biomarkers after six weeks of supplementation with L-citrulline vs. L-citrulline DL-malate in resistance-trained men: a double-blind placebo-controlled trial
L-Citrulline Resistance Training Performance Meta-AnalysisL-citrulline supplementation has been found to help buffer this acidic environment and support improved performance, possibly by reducing the accumulation of these ions during intense exercise, rather than directly affecting lactate concentrations.4Li Aiqin (2025)The effects of L-citrulline supplementation on cerebrovascular function during sprint interval training in taekwondo athletes
L-Citrulline Resistance Training Performance Meta-AnalysisA randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found that this combination not only boosted performance but also improved recovery.Another study on long-term supplementation showed significant improvements in recovery over time, highlighting the potential of this combination for enhancing endurance and recovery in athletes.4Li Aiqin (2025)The effects of L-citrulline supplementation on cerebrovascular function during sprint interval training in taekwondo athletes
L-Citrulline Resistance Training Performance Meta-AnalysisThese results support the growing evidence of L-citrulline's benefits for performance and recovery in high-intensity training.4Li Aiqin (2025)The effects of L-citrulline supplementation on cerebrovascular function during sprint interval training in taekwondo athletes
L-Citrulline Resistance Training Performance Meta-Analysis, , , High-intensity exercise, especially Sprint Interval Training (SIT), is receiving more and more attention.4Li Aiqin (2025)The effects of L-citrulline supplementation on cerebrovascular function during sprint interval training in taekwondo athletes
