BulkSupplementscom L-Citrulline Malate 2:1 Powder - L Citrulline Malate Supplement, Citrulline Malate Powder - Unflavored & Gluten Free - 3g per Servings, 333 Servings, 1kg (2.2 lbs)

Taking 6g daily 1 hr before gym, rinse mouth with bicarb afterwards to protect teeth from acidity. Noticed less pain and more stamina during workouts. Works better than beetroot which I have discontinued. Also discontinued creatine because it interferes with creatinine levels in my lab tests.Don't notice any side effects. Will continue to use. Highly recommend. Starts working in about a week.

I recently added a pre-workout shake to my regimen, but I had a lot of trouble finding one I liked for many reasons:1. Ineffective ingredients (which can be either useless or harmful)2. Inadequate or excessive amounts of the ingredients which are actually evidence based to provide you benefits. A pre-workout shake should not be one-size-fits-all.3. CAFFEINE! (and other stimulants) - I know it is effective at giving you a boost, but I workout at night within a few hours of sleeping...4. Price - 30 servings for like $50? Forget that!BulkSupplements solved ALL my problems! By ordering four of the most scientifically proven pre-workout supplements in bulk, I saved money and have more control over what I am putting in my body and in what amounts. I ordered the following four products for my pre-workout:Beta AlanineCreatine MonohydrateBCAAsL-CitrullineBulkSupplements has a huge variety of products available at ridiculously good prices with a huge number of serving sizes. Instead of dropping $50 for about 30 servings, I have hundreds of servings for about the same price. I have used the above four ingredients mixed with a bit of water about 10 times now. Some observations:PROS- They WORK! There is a noticeable difference in my workouts. I feel more energized (and less lethargic mid-set), I have more power behind each rep, and I am seeing results a lot faster.- They take about 15-30 minutes to "kick in" depending on how big/recent my last meal was.- I am able to experiment with proportions of each ingredient to find the best fit for me.- As I have a chance to do more research I will be able to add new products to my regimen easily since I can buy each one individually.- Most importantly, I love that I have these ingredients as separate packages! This enables me to use each ingredient for multiple purposes (like using the BCAAs in both my pre-workout and my post-workout; allowing me to saturate with higher doses of creatine before I go down to a maintenance level, etc.)CONS- Taste and appearance. Yeah, pre-mixed pre-workouts probably taste better and look like a fancy sports drink because they are filled with Xylitol and Yellow-80, so my mixture of 4 ingredients plus a little water leaves me gagging over the sink trying to choke it down. But I kind of expected that. You may be able to mix this with orange juice or something to make it less awful?- Packaging. No scoops and the zip lock is kind of hard to close. Also, the bags are pretty inflexible, so I have to shove them down into the drawer I store them in.

Yes, Pure L-Citrulline DL-Malate 2:1 is truly effective in "boosting my reserve energy level - When I need it"I highly recommend this specific product. It is a very "clean" - no noticeable side effects - do not feel a buzz, like with a double shot of espresso. Doesn't keep me awake at night - I sense it is very safe! Non-habit forming - No biological urges to take it. No noticeable loss of my normal mode energy and limitations if I miss taking it.BUT, it's like now, I have a "Tiger-In-My-Tank", or a "Turbo-Power" mode switch that automatically shifts ON when I get the notion to push harder physically at a challenge. And the "pushing" is fun, enjoyable, positive - NOT work or grueling or "I can't wait till it is over" thing - 'You know what I mean'.Examples: I ride my road bike to & from work every day - in both directions. I have to climb 2 long hills and 1 short one - been doing it for years - always been sort of grueling - shift down to lowest gear and still my cadence always slowed down. Since last 6 months, taking just 2/3 teaspoon in 6 oz water about 45 - 60 min before riding, I now amazingly have this "reserve power - about 20% more to power up the hills feeling super and strong -with stamina!!! In that way L-Citrulline DL-Malate 2:1 is rather Magical - Strong energy boost only when you ask for it!This extra inner capacity to push seems to last a few hours, because without taking additional dose, I find it easier to do 10-12 more Push-ups during the day at work break - and say 20-30 seconds more prone Plank for Abs toning than this supplement. I detect no extra increases in heart rate or hyperactivity or any other biological reaction.Psychologically though - I feel many, many years younger, and after my workout - super healthy. I repeat 2/3 tsp 45-60 min before riding home. Same super-feeling during the ride up hills and when I get home. But like I said - I don't feel any different after taking the dose - this is until I start a physical activity where I can choose to push.There is a subtle feeling of "super wellness" I suppose where a little voice in my head says, "Go for it - Climb that hill fast - You've got the Power! Now I enjoy those little challenges where I can "enjoy pushing my body harder - and feel confident and safe about it".The contents are fine snow-white pure crystals - I just stir in plain water a few seconds - Pleasingly mild citrus taste.(Note: Earlier this year I first tried "L-Citrulline without the Malate 2:1 formula" - and I did not experience any boost in energy or really anything - no reaction. whatsoever.) After more research I chose the Malate 2:1 formula as the fit seemed to match better what I was looking for.Hoping all of you have similar experiences of there being a "Tiger-In-Your-Tank", Tom in Carlsbad, CA
