Review on BulkSupplements.com L-Citrulline DL-Malate 2:1 - Citrulline Powder - Citrulline Malate 2 1 - Unflavored Pre Workout - Vegan Pre-Workout Supplement (500 Grams - 1.1 lbs) for Enhanced Performance by Jill Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

TL;DR: Looks good, feels good (tastes tart and COULD make me urinate more)

In this review I will do my best to cover two main points: quality/ Delivery, taste, and potential impact on my workout. Background and Quality: I tried Citrulline Malate because I had read about its usefulness as both a vasodilator and an arginine stimulant in the body, and I tried BulkSupplements Citrulline Malate because of the unit price. Service. Last week I started the double dose (6-7g) along with Naked Energy Unflavored Pre Workout and was overall very impressed. When I opened the package I found that the powder was very fine with no lumps. Dosing is more difficult with BulkSupplements as they don't come with a measuring scoop, but this was an easy fix just by dismissing it on my kitchen scale. I was very surprised and excited that CitMal managed to get into the approx. 8-10 ml of cold water despite the relatively large amount that I took out of the bag. I was even more impressed when I was able to mix my 5g pre-workout in the same cup, and despite the horribly bitter and undetectable taste of the unflavored pre-workout, I could actually A) down a glass and pray god the taste wouldn't make me vomit and B) create a taste association with something I've eaten before that actually made it taste a lot tastier. Taste: It is important to remember that these supplements are not made with taste in mind. That being said, I was very pleasantly surprised to find that CitMal seemed to completely mask the ungodly bitterness of my pre-workout drink, rounding it out into a taste very similar to Warhead sour candy. Because of this, I was actually able to drink a cup normally instead of using my "take 5 sips, fill with water, and repeat" method I used to do with my pre-workout. If you don't like the harsh taste of warhead, you can find something other than water to mix it with. If, like me, you're perfectly comfortable drinking something between a sugar-free soda and a liquid warhead, or think you'll enjoy the nostalgia it evokes, like sticking one of those nasty suckers in your mouth until the sour taste is gone. , this is the perfect pre-workout product for you. Possible Impact on Training: I would like to make a small disclaimer that it will not be entirely possible to fully distinguish the effects of my pre-workout from CitMal, but I will do my best. After taking a double dose of CitMal pre-workout, I didn't notice much of a difference between my energy levels before starting CitMal (when I was only taking pre-workout) and after CitMal was added. The HUGE difference I noticed was how I felt between sets. I found my muscles burning and begging me to finish the set, but within a minute or two of dropping the weight it felt like I hadn't done the previous set at all. This insanely fast recovery was extremely helpful as it helped me get through my workout efficiently and didn't leave me dead on the way out of the gym. Also, the amount of DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) was significantly lower and not only did I feel good, but I felt confident that I could do what I wanted or should do all week without being hampered by incredible pain in my muscles will . The final bonus of this product was that it allowed me to keep my energy levels up throughout the day. I walked out of the gym breathing heavily and after a few minutes I felt just like I was in the gym. I was totally impressed. Side Effects: Here's the rub - I'm pretty sure I started sweating more at the gym after I started using this product, and I've also noticed that I'm using at least one of my rest periods between sets had to. pee in the middle of a workout. I think that's partly due to the CitMal, but I've also started drinking some more water before going to the gym, so I'm guessing it's a combination. Either way, good luck finding a product that works for you and good luck with your workout! May Gaines be with you.
