AVELOR SUMMARY
Converts to arginine in kidneys → NO production. 6-8g/day citrulline malate for exercise performance. SUPERIOR to L-arginine supplementation for NO production (arginine is degraded by arginase in gut; citrulline bypasses this). 2010 study: 8g citrulline malate reduced post-exercise soreness by 40%.
