Citrulline Malate is an NO pre-workout supplement that supports performance and is completely free from stimulants. It combines the amino acid L-citrulline with a salt of malic acid (malate) in an ideal ratio of 2:1. As it contains no caffeine, it is also an ideal companion for afternoon and evening workouts.
Citrulline Malate is an effective NO pre-workout powder that supports your muscle pump during every workout. The active ingredient combines the amino acid L-citrulline with a salt of malic acid (malate) in the ideal ratio of 2:1. Unlike multi-ingredient pre-workouts, it contains no caffeine or other stimulants, so you can also use it before afternoon or evening workouts.
Citrulline malate acts as a precursor to the amino acid L-arginine. The body then uses L-arginine to produce nitric oxide (NO), which helps widen blood vessels (vasodilation), allowing blood to flow more efficiently. This results in a better supply of oxygen and nutrients to working muscles, which athletes often describe as a muscle pump or feeling pumped.
Two independent meta-analyses from recent years agree that taking citrulline malate before training leads to a modest but demonstrable improvement in strength performance. The first analysed 137 people across 8 studies, focusing on how many repetitions athletes could perform to exhaustion during strength training. The result was an average of 3 more repetitions, an increase of 6,4 %.¹ The second meta-analysis included 198 people from 12 studies and looked at strength and explosive power performance in general. It found virtually the same effect size as the first study.²
When it comes to food supplements, safety and transparency are key throughout the process, from selecting raw materials to the finished powder. Here are 4 things GymBeam does differently:
- We verify the citrulline content at a specialist German laboratory.
- We produce the powder at our own manufacturing facility in Germany.
- The product is tested at an accredited German laboratory, which checks compliance with limits for heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury) and verifies microbiological safety (yeasts, moulds, coliform bacteria, salmonella).
- The product is free from GMOs and allergens and is suitable for vegans.
Who is citrulline malate suitable for?
1. Bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts
who want to add effective, stimulant-free pre-workout support to their training routine.
2. Runners, cyclists and team sports players
who value support for blood flow and improved oxygen and nutrient delivery to working muscles.
3. People who train in the afternoon or evening
for whom a caffeine-free formula is essential to ensure the supplement does not disrupt their sleep.
4. Athletes who want to combine multiple pre-workout ingredients
as the pure, unflavoured version can easily be added to a custom blend (for example, with beta-alanine).
5. Vegans and vegetarians
looking for a pure, plant-based pre-workout supplement.
When should you take citrulline malate?
The best time to take it is 40 to 60 minutes before training, as this is the window in which clinical studies observed an effect on performance. Citrulline malate contains no caffeine or other stimulants, so you can also take it with confidence in the afternoon or evening without disrupting your ability to fall asleep.
Use on training and rest days
Citrulline malate is typically used for acute pre-workout support, so most users take it only on training days, shortly before exercise. Taking it on rest days is fine, but the performance effect described above was demonstrated specifically with acute use before exercise, not with long-term use on an empty stomach outside of training.
Combining it with other supplements
You can easily mix citrulline malate powder into your own pre-workout blend, for example with beta-alanine or creatine.
