Ingredient Spotlight: L-Citrulline Malate

One of the most important functions of a quality performance protein is its ability to help with post-workout soreness and fatigue. As you might have guessed, Kyäni has an incredible option for that. But first, let’s take a look at a key ingredient that supports the muscles and helps the body recover more quickly after a grueling gym session, a long run, and everything in between.

Meet L-Citrulline Malate

L-citrulline is a naturally occurring, non-essential amino acid found in fruits like watermelon. This amino acid promotes the urea cycle, removing ammonia produced by muscles during exercise, which slows onset of fatigue. It also supports long-term production of nitric oxide, which, as you’ve probably guessed, is one of our favorite benefits and is one of the main features for several Kyäni products, starting with the three pillars of the Triangle of Health. Nitric oxide promotes blood flow to working muscles, providing oxygen to the tissues.

The second part of the name, Malate, or malic acid, is responsible for even more benefits. Like L-citrulline, malate is found in various fruits and is actually what gives them their tartness. Malate helps give supplemental L-citrulline its stability in the body and may also support the body’s ability to recycle lactic acid produced by exercise to use for energy.

So, what does all this mean for our fitness routine? Put simply, it means you can keep your workout going stronger and longer.
