L-Citrulline Ultra Caps by German Elite Nutrition

Do you want to take L-citrulline without weighing out powder? German Elite Nutrition's L-Citrulline Ultra Caps provide citrulline in capsule form. A serving of six capsules contains 6600 mg of L-citrulline DL-malate in a 2:1 ratio, of which 4422 mg is pure L-citrulline. One bottle contains 365 capsules, enough for approximately 60 servings. Citrulline is a well-known name among strength athletes and fitness enthusiasts, and these capsules make it easier to take than loose powder that you have to weigh out.

What L-citrulline is

L-citrulline is an amino acid that your body can also produce itself and that occurs naturally in watermelon; it even owes its name to that fruit. In the body, citrulline can be converted into the amino acid arginine. There are currently no approved European health claims for L-citrulline and malate. Therefore, we only describe the substances as an ingredient. In sports nutrition, citrulline is often combined with other amino acids. It is one of the ingredients that you will see almost by default on the label of a pre-workout mix.

What the 2:1 ratio means

The citrulline in this product is in the form of L-citrulline DL-malate in a ratio of 2:1. This means that there are two parts citrulline to one part malate, or approximately 67 percent citrulline and 33 percent malate. Malate is a salt of malic acid. By binding citrulline to malate, you get a raw material that is highly soluble and that you often see in sports nutrition. Per serving of six capsules, this amounts to 6600 mg of citrulline malate, of which 4422 mg is pure L-citrulline. Each capsule therefore contains approximately 1100 mg of citrulline malate. Because that amount is already measured out, you know exactly how much you are taking with each dose, without having to calculate scoops and grams. This makes it easy to stick to the same serving day after day.

Capsules for those who do not want to weigh out powder

Citrulline malate is also available separately as a powder, but that powder has a distinctly sour taste and you have to weigh it out and dissolve it with a measuring scoop. In capsule form you taste none of that and the dosage is already prepared for you. This makes these Ultra Caps convenient for on the go. You do not need a shaker or measuring scoop, just a sip of water is enough to swallow the capsules. With 365 capsules per bottle, you also have a generous supply at home. With six capsules per day, one bottle lasts approximately two months, after which you can reorder at a relaxed pace. Good to know: the capsule shell is made of beef gelatin, so this product is not vegan or vegetarian.

How athletes use L-citrulline

The recommended serving is six capsules per day. Many athletes take it around their workout. There is no fixed time, so you can also spread the six capsules throughout the day. Citrulline combines perfectly with other individual building blocks from sports nutrition, such as arginine, beta-alanine or taurine. Those who already work with individual amino acids can easily add these capsules to their existing routine without having to prepare an extra powder. Take the capsules with plenty of water and use them as a supplement alongside a varied diet. Stick to the indicated serving of six capsules and do not exceed it.

In short: this is L-citrulline DL-malate 2:1 in capsule form, with 6600 mg per serving and 365 capsules per bottle. A choice for athletes who prefer to swallow citrulline in a measured capsule rather than weighing out and mixing sour powder, with a large bottle that lasts a long time.
