L-Arginine + L-Citrulline 6600mg | 320 Capsules | German Elite Nutrition

L-Arginine + L-Citrulline from German Elite Nutrition

Looking for L-arginine and L-citrulline together in a capsule? This combination from German Elite Nutrition brings together two well-known amino acids from sports nutrition in a fixed 1:1 ratio. A daily dose of six capsules provides 3300 mg of L-arginine and 3300 mg of L-citrulline DL-malate, totaling 6600 mg. One bottle contains 320 capsules, enough for approximately 53 daily doses. Among strength athletes and fitness enthusiasts, this is a classic duo that is often taken around training.

Two amino acids

L-arginine and L-citrulline are both amino acids. In the body, citrulline can be converted into arginine. At this time, there are no authorized European health claims for either L-arginine or L-citrulline. Therefore, we only describe the amino acids as an ingredient. In sports nutrition, arginine and citrulline are often combined together.

The 1:1 ratio and the chosen forms

The arginine in this product is in the form of L-arginine base, the free form of the amino acid. This form contains a high proportion of pure arginine per gram, as no acid is attached to it, unlike the HCL form. The citrulline is included as L-citrulline DL-malate in a 2:1 ratio, meaning there are two parts citrulline to one part malate. Malate is a salt of malic acid. Per daily dose of six capsules, this amounts to 3300 mg of arginine base and 3300 mg of citrulline malate, or a 1:1 ratio between the two amino acids. Each capsule thus contains approximately 1100 mg of amino acids. By combining both amino acids in fixed amounts, you do not need to weigh or mix anything yourself. For those accustomed to stacking loose powders, this provides a fixed base ratio that is the same every time.

Why capsules instead of powder

Arginine and citrulline are also available separately as powder, but not everyone wants to deal with a scoop and a shaker. In capsule form, the dosage is already measured out for you, and you take the amino acids without tasting the slightly salty or sour flavor of the loose powders. Convenient when you are on the go. For those who want to maintain a fixed daily amount, a capsule is also easier to keep track of than loose scoops of powder that you measure out by hand. Please note: the capsule shell contains beef gelatin, so this product is not vegan or vegetarian. A bottle of 320 capsules will last approximately eight weeks at six capsules per day. This gives you a generous supply at home without having to reorder every time. Capsules are also easy to carry in your sports bag, where a tub of powder can quickly get in the way.

How athletes use this combination

The recommended daily dose is six capsules. Many athletes take them around their training. There is no fixed time, so you can also spread the six capsules throughout the day if that suits you better. Because it is a ready-made combination, this product can easily be combined with other individual building blocks from sports nutrition, such as beta-alanine, taurine, or a carbohydrate source around training. Take the capsules with plenty of water and use them as a supplement alongside a varied diet. Stick to the indicated daily dose and do not exceed it.

In short: this is L-arginine base and L-citrulline DL-malate in a 1:1 ratio, with 6600 mg per daily dose and 320 capsules per bottle. A practical choice for athletes who prefer to swallow this classic duo in a measured capsule rather than weighing and mixing it themselves as a powder.
