BulkSupplements.com L-Citrulline Malate 2:1 Powder - L Citrulline Malate Supplement, Citrulline Malate Powder - Unflavored & Gluten Free - 3g per Servings, 33 Servings, 100g (3.5 oz)

This is an effective supplement! It dissolves easily but may settle to the bottom, so just shake your drink a bit. No tummy trouble. The taste isn't great but I drink it in my shake and don't really care. It is excellently effective. Without being cranked on caffeine I can now bike up a mountain and don't have to stop to rest nearly as much because my muscles just keep outputting power. I'm impressed. ChatGPT recommended it and also this brand and turns out it works. My wife took a serving before our 5K and she felt like her muscles were indeed oxygenated pretty decently the whole way, she got a surprisingly good time.

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
