Citrulline Malate

The Citrulline Malate has the particularity of improving :

• the aerobic function: medium and long-lasting efforts

• anaerobic function: short- and medium-term efforts

Malic Acid (Malate) represents an important reservoir of Co2 (oxygen). It increases our oxygen and energy reserves. Our cells are enriched in oxygen.

As Jean Pelmont, Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Grenoble and specialist in Enzymology, points out, Citrulline Malate "represents a fundamental device for regulating redox exchanges in the mitochondria".

Citrulline malate increases our fuel reserves, our "energy batteries". They are found in each of our cells. 
They are a highly efficient fuel immediately available for our muscles. Citrulline malate increases the production and availability of the following
three molecules:

• the ATP

• creatine

• phosphocreatine

+ 34% in the production and use of ATPs during the effort

+ 20% in phosphocreatine synthesis and exercise recovery.

+ 23% increase in strength

Citrulline:

• Prevents the Phosphocreatine/ATP ratio from decreasing.

• Increases the ability of cells to synthesize ATP

• Stimulates muscle use of BCAA's (Branched Chain Amino Acids) during exercise.

Citrulline malate, a real energy battery, increases muscular resistance and endurance:

+ 52.92% repetitions

+ 100% more repetitions, at the 8th and last series

Citrulline malate, decrease in tissue acidity and toxins in the body

Citrulline Malate cleans and eliminates the body's waste products, generated by muscular activity: lactic acid, ammonia.

• Normalizes intracellular pH

• Decreases acidosis, source of cramps, pains and contractures.

• Accelerates the elimination of ammonia (toxic to muscles and brain)

• 40% reduction in aches and pains 24 and 48 hours after the training phases.

• Stimulates the elimination of urea

• Promotes renal reabsorption of bicarbonates

• Facilitates the use of lactate (by-product of muscular effort, brain and muscle toxicity)

Citrulline malate, oxygen and acidosis

When the body becomes acidic, we exhale and expel oxygen. As Nobel Laureate Professor Warburg pointed out, "the expulsion of oxygen is the cause of many degenerative diseases.

When there is little oxygen available to the body's cells, we use the energy pathway of lactic acid to produce energy. The result is localized acidosis in the muscles and brain. Little ATP (Adenosine Tri Phosphate) cell fuel is available to the cells. Lactic acid produces nervous and muscular tension (back, trapezius, neck, contracted tendons).

The solution: malic acid

Malic acid eliminates muscular lactic acid in a low oxygen environment. It enables and accelerates the ability of muscle cells to use oxygen to produce energy. 
Malic acid gives a signal to the mitochondria to use oxygen to burn fat as fuel or to use oxygen to burn glucose.
