Elle intervient dans le cycle de l'urée, un ensemble de réactions du métabolisme azoté, et l'organisme la produit lui-même à partir d'autres acides aminés. Son nom vient du latin citrullus, la pastèque, le fruit dans lequel elle a été identifiée pour la première fois au début du vingtième siècle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChez LUTO Supplements, vous trouverez la L-citrulline sous plusieurs formes: gélules de 750 mg de NOW Foods, gélules fortement dosées et poudre de citrulline malate 2:1 de German Elite Nutrition, formule combinée avec la L-arginine et boissons d'électrolytes Performance aromatisées. Sur cette page, nous expliquons la différence entre la citrulline libre et la citrulline malate, comment doser, quand prendre ces produits et ce que la réglementation européenne autorise en matière d'allégations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCitrulline libre ou citrulline malate 2:1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa citrulline libre est de la L-citrulline pure. La citrulline malate associe la citrulline à l'acide malique, un acide de fruit également présent dans les pommes. Le rapport 2:1 signifie que le produit contient environ deux parts de citrulline pour une part de malate: 3 g de citrulline malate apportent donc environ 2 g de citrulline. Pour comparer deux produits, regardez toujours la quantité de citrulline pure par dose et non le poids total de la poudre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOù trouve-t-on la citrulline dans l'alimentation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa pastèque est la source alimentaire la plus connue, en particulier la partie blanche située près de l'écorce. On en trouve aussi de plus petites quantités dans le concombre, le melon et la courge. Les quantités apportées par l'alimentation restent toutefois modestes par rapport aux doses utilisées dans les compléments, ce qui explique que les sportifs se tournent vers la poudre ou les gélules pour un apport plus précis et plus régulier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePoudre ou gélules?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa poudre permet un dosage libre et un prix par gramme généralement plus avantageux, ce qui compte car les doses utilisées se chiffrent souvent en grammes. Elle se mélange dans l'eau ou dans une boisson d'entraînement; la citrulline malate a un goût acidulé que certains apprécient et que d'autres masquent avec un arôme. Les gélules, comme celles de NOW Foods, évitent la pesée et le goût, mais demandent plusieurs unités pour atteindre des doses élevées.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuel dosage choisir?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIl n'existe pas de valeur nutritionnelle de référence européenne pour la citrulline, car il ne s'agit ni d'une vitamine ni d'un minéral. Les doses journalières indiquées par les fabricants se situent le plus souvent entre 2 et 8 g de citrulline malate, en une ou deux prises. Respectez la dose recommandée sur l'étiquette et, si vous débutez, commencez par la quantité la plus basse afin de vérifier votre tolérance digestive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCitrulline et arginine, quelle différence?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCes deux acides aminés sont liés dans le métabolisme: la citrulline peut être transformée en arginine dans l'organisme. Sur le plan pratique, la citrulline est souvent choisie en poudre pour des doses plus élevées, tandis que l'arginine existe surtout en gélules et en comprimés à dosage fixe. Des produits combinés comme la L-Arginine + L-Citrulline 6600 mg de German Elite Nutrition réunissent les deux. Notre catégorie L-arginine présente l'ensemble de ces références.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuand prendre la L-citrulline?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa plupart des utilisateurs prennent la citrulline avant l'entraînement, généralement vingt à soixante minutes à l'avance, seule ou dans une formule pré-entraînement. Les jours sans entraînement, elle peut se prendre à un moment fixe de la journée pour conserver une routine régulière. La citrulline se prend avec ou sans nourriture, selon ce que vous tolérez le mieux.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCitrulline et boissons d'électrolytes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLes boissons Performance Electrolytes de German Elite Nutrition associent la citrulline à des minéraux tels que le magnésium, le potassium et le sodium, qui sont perdus par la transpiration lors d'un effort prolongé. Le magnésium contribue à l'équilibre électrolytique, à une fonction musculaire normale et à un métabolisme énergétique normal. Le potassium contribue lui aussi à une fonction musculaire normale. Ces boissons se préparent dans l'eau et se consomment avant, pendant ou après l'entraînement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQualité et fabrication\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa citrulline utilisée dans les compléments est produite par fermentation, un procédé qui convient à une alimentation végétalienne. Les fabricants sérieux indiquent la pureté et font contrôler leurs lots par un laboratoire indépendant, notamment pour les métaux lourds et la qualité microbiologique. Vérifiez sur l'étiquette la quantité de citrulline pure par dose, la présence éventuelle d'arômes ou d'édulcorants et le nombre de portions par emballage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAllégations, tolérance et précautions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAucune allégation de santé n'est autorisée dans l'Union européenne pour la L-citrulline; nous nous limitons donc à décrire les produits. Aux doses recommandées, la citrulline est bien tolérée par la plupart des utilisateurs; à doses élevées et à jeun, une gêne digestive légère est possible. Un complément alimentaire ne remplace pas une alimentation variée et équilibrée ni un mode de vie sain. En cas de traitement, de grossesse ou d'allaitement, demandez conseil à un professionnel de santé.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"gen-l-arginine-l-citrulline-6600mg-320-gelules","title":"L-Arginine + L-Citrulline 6600 mg | 320 Capsules | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eL-Arginine + L-Citrulline from German Elite Nutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you looking for \u003cstrong\u003eL-arginine\u003c\/strong\u003e and L-citrulline combined in one capsule? This combination from German Elite Nutrition brings together two well-known pre-workout amino acids 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, for a total of 6600 mg. A jar contains 320 vegan capsules, enough for approximately 53 daily doses. Among strength athletes and fitness enthusiasts, this is a classic duo often taken around training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo Complementary Amino Acids\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-arginine and L-citrulline are both amino acids linked to each other in the body. The body notably uses L-arginine in the production of nitric oxide, a small molecule that plays a role in blood vessels. L-citrulline, in turn, is a precursor to arginine: in the kidneys, citrulline can be converted into arginine. Because citrulline takes this detour, it becomes available more gradually than arginine taken directly. This is neutral biochemical data that says nothing in itself about the effect of this supplement. For both L-arginine and L-citrulline, there are currently no authorized European health claims. This is why we describe the amino acids only as components and leave open the question of what everyone expects from them. In sports nutrition, arginine and citrulline have long been known as a popular pre-workout duo, often present in so-called \"pump\" formulas. The idea of taking them together comes from the fact that they participate in the same metabolic pathway in the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 1:1 Ratio and Chosen Forms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArginine is present in this product as 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 coupled to it as in the HCL form. Citrulline is present 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 represents 3300 mg of arginine base and 3300 mg of citrulline-malate, a 1:1 ratio between the two amino acids. Each capsule thus contains approximately 1100 mg of active substance. By combining the two amino acids in fixed quantities, you don't have to weigh or mix anything yourself. Those who are used to stacking free powders get a fixed, always identical base ratio here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Capsules Instead of Powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArginine and citrulline are also sold as free powder, but not everyone wants to handle a scoop and a shaker. In capsule form, the dosage is already measured for you, and you take the amino acids without tasting the slightly salty or acidic flavor of free powders. Convenient when you're on the go or want to keep your pre-workout simple. For those who want to maintain a fixed daily amount, a capsule is also easier to track than hand-measured scoops of powder. The capsules are vegan, so the casing is plant-based and contains no gelatin. A jar of 320 capsules lasts about eight weeks at six capsules per day. This gives you a comfortable supply without having to reorder constantly. The capsules are also easy to carry in your gym bag, where a jar of powder quickly becomes cumbersome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Athletes Use This Combination\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended daily dose is six capsules. Many athletes take them around their training, for example, a portion before exercise as part of their pre-workout routine. There is no fixed time, so you can also spread the six capsules throughout the day if that suits you better. As this is a ready-to-use combination, this product can be easily combined with other elements of 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 to a varied diet. Some people experience a slight tingling sensation with arginine on an empty stomach; this is a known and harmless sensation that disappears on its own. Observe the indicated daily dose and do not exceed it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary: this is L-arginine base and L-citrulline DL-malate in a 1:1 ratio, with 6600 mg per daily dose and 320 vegan capsules per jar. A convenient choice for athletes who prefer to swallow this classic pre-workout duo in a dosed capsule rather than weighing and mixing it themselves as powder.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49386119987428,"sku":"gen-025","price":27.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/L-Arginine_L-CitrullineGEN.jpg?v=1783855427"},{"product_id":"gen-performance-electrolytes-kiwi","title":"Performance Electrolytes Kiwi | 400 g | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGEN Performance Electrolytes Kiwi\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kiwi variant of Performance Electrolytes is a powder that goes beyond a standard thirst quencher.

You mix 20 grams of powder (one scoop) into 500 ml of water to get a clear, thirst-quenching drink. Since it contains no sugar and the serving provides only 10 kcal, it stays light on the stomach, even if you drink it during intense exertion. The kiwi flavor is fresh enough to consume multiple times a day without being too sweet. Serve it preferably well chilled, as this best highlights the fresh note. If you prefer something citrusy, there's an orange-lime variant with the exact same formula. This allows you to alternate without sacrificing any of the composition. The kiwi flavor deliberately doesn't rely too much on sweetness, which is pleasant if you continue to replenish the drink during a long session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Does Performance Electrolytes Contain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base consists of five minerals that together provide 2257 mg of electrolytes per serving: 200 mg of magnesium, 400 mg of potassium, 900 mg of sodium, 150 mg of calcium, and 607 mg of chloride. To this are added 3800 mg of L-citrulline malate (2:1), of which 2530 mg is L-citrulline, plus 1400 mg of taurine and 2000 mg of coconut water powder. Sabeet® is a beetroot extract with naturally occurring nitrates (5 mg of nitrate per serving), and Senactiv® is a branded complex of Panax notoginseng extract and Rosa roxburghii fruit extract. Vitamins B1 (2 mg) and B6 (2 mg) complete the formula. The minerals are incorporated as citrate and chloride, and sucralose is used as a sweetener. Additionally, there are 4.76 g of inulin fiber per serving. Inulin is a soluble fiber derived, among other things, from chicory root and gives the drink a little more body without adding sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Role of Electrolytes and B Vitamins\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring exercise, you lose fluid and minerals through sweat. A drink with \u003cstrong\u003eelectrolytes\u003c\/strong\u003e helps you target this replenishment.

The added B vitamins participate in your metabolism: vitamins B1 and B6 contribute to normal energy metabolism, and vitamin B6 also contributes to the reduction of fatigue and the normal functioning of the immune system. Thus, the kiwi variant covers both your fluid and mineral replenishment. The 900 mg of sodium was deliberately chosen to be high, as sodium is the mineral you lose in the greatest quantity when sweating. With potassium and chloride, it forms the core of what your body loses during intense exertion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is This Electrolyte Powder For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerformance Electrolytes is intended for anyone who wants to replenish fluid and minerals during and after exertion: strength athletes, endurance athletes, cyclists, Hyrox athletes, and active people in hot weather.

Per 5-gram serving, you get 5000 mg of L-Citrulline DL-Malate, of which approximately 3350 mg is pure L-Citrulline. A 500-gram container is sufficient for about one hundred servings.

As a supplement, citrulline is often bound to malate, a salt of malic acid. This combination is called citrulline-malate and is highly soluble. In the body, citrulline is a precursor to the amino acid arginine: in the kidneys, citrulline can be converted into arginine, which in turn is used in the production of nitric oxide. This is neutral biochemical data describing what the substance is, and in itself says nothing about an effect of this supplement. For L-citrulline and malate, there are currently no approved European health claims. This is why we describe these substances only as a component and leave open the question of what people expect from them. In sports nutrition, citrulline is one of the most well-known pre-workout ingredients, often combined with arginine, beta-alanine, or taurine. It is one of the names almost consistently found on the label of a pump formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat the 2:1 Ratio Means\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2:1 indication refers to the ratio of citrulline to malate: two parts citrulline to one part malate, or approximately 67 percent citrulline and 33 percent malate. This is a common ratio in sports nutrition and the reason why, per 5-gram serving, you get approximately 3350 mg of pure citrulline. Malate, derived from malic acid, naturally plays a role in cellular energy metabolism and also gives citrulline-malate its fresh, slightly acidic taste. Since the ratio is fixed, you know exactly what you are consuming with each dose. Those who mix their own pre-workout will find this powder a stable base with a consistent composition. You determine the quantity used and what you mix it with, which is not possible with a closed capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUnflavored, Pure, and Soluble\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe container holds only L-Citrulline DL-Malate 2:1. No colorants, no sweeteners, no fillers, and no preservatives. The powder is unflavored, although the malate gives it a slight fresh note, and it dissolves easily in water, a shake, or a pre-workout drink. This purity is precisely why many athletes choose a raw powder: you know exactly what you are consuming and you don't pay for additives you don't want. The citrulline powder is made via a plant-based production process and is therefore vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free. With the included scoop, you precisely measure each 5-gram serving, without having to guess with an ordinary spoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow Athletes Use This Citrulline Powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost users take a 5-gram serving per day, dissolved in approximately 300 ml of water or another beverage of their choice, such as juice or a shake. Many strength athletes schedule this serving around their workout, for example as part of their pre-workout, although there is no fixed schedule. As it is a bulk powder, L-citrulline can be easily combined with other isolated amino acids, such as arginine, beta-alanine, or taurine. This allows you to create your own blend, adapted to your training routine and personal taste. Take the powder as a supplement to a varied diet and respect the indicated serving of 5 grams per day. A 500-gram container lasts, at one serving per day, well over three months, making it a practical choice for those who want to use citrulline long-term without constantly reordering.

The L-Citrulline Ultra Caps by German Elite Nutrition deliver 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 jar contains 365 capsules, enough for approximately 60 servings. Among strength athletes and fitness enthusiasts, citrulline is a pre-workout classic, and these capsules make it more convenient to take than bulk powder that needs to be weighed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat L-citrulline is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-citrulline is an amino acid that your body can also produce itself and is naturally found in watermelon; it owes its name to this fruit. In the body, citrulline is a precursor to the amino acid arginine: in the kidneys, citrulline can be converted into arginine. Arginine, in turn, is used by the body in the production of nitric oxide, a small molecule that plays a role in blood vessels. This is neutral biochemical data that in itself says nothing about the effect of this supplement. For L-citrulline and malate, there are currently no approved European health claims. Therefore, we describe these substances only as a component and leave open what people expect from them. In sports nutrition, citrulline is known as a classic pre-workout ingredient, often found in so-called pump formulas and easy to combine with other amino acids. It is one of the ingredients almost always found on the label of a pre-workout blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the 2:1 ratio means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCitrulline is present in this product as L-citrulline DL-malate in a 2:1 ratio. This means there are two parts of citrulline to one part of malate, or approximately 67 percent citrulline and 33 percent malate. Malate is a salt of malic acid, a substance that naturally plays a role in the cell's energy metabolism. By binding citrulline to malate, a well-soluble raw material is obtained that is often found in sports nutrition. Per serving of six capsules, this represents 6600 mg of citrulline-malate, of which 4422 mg is pure L-citrulline. Each capsule thus contains approximately 1100 mg of citrulline-malate. Since this amount is already dosed, you know exactly how much you are taking with each dose, without having to count in doses and grams. This makes it easier to maintain the same serving day after day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCapsules for those who don't want to weigh powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCitrulline-malate is also available as bulk powder, but this powder has a pronounced sour taste and must be weighed to the dose and then dissolved. In capsule form, you don't perceive any of this and the dosage is already prepared for you. This makes these Ultra Caps convenient for on-the-go or for those who want to keep their pre-workout simple. You don't need a shaker or a measuring spoon, a sip of water is enough to swallow the capsules. With 365 capsules per jar, you also have a generous supply. At six capsules per day, one jar lasts about two months, after which you can reorder at your leisure. Good to know: the manufacturer does not specify what material the capsule shell is made of, so we cannot definitively confirm the vegan status of the capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow athletes use L-citrulline\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended serving is six capsules per day. Many athletes take them around their workout, for example, a portion before exercise as part of their pre-workout routine. There is no fixed schedule, so you can also spread the six capsules throughout the day. Citrulline combines very well with other isolated building blocks of sports nutrition, such as arginine, beta-alanine, or taurine, making it a versatile base for a personal pre-workout stack. Those who already use isolated amino acids can simply add these capsules to their existing routine without having to prepare an additional powder. Take the capsules with enough water and use them as a supplement to a varied diet. Observe the indicated portion of six capsules and do not exceed it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary: this is L-citrulline DL-malate 2:1 in capsule form, with 6600 mg per serving and 365 capsules per jar. A choice for athletes who prefer to take citrulline in a dosed capsule rather than weighing and mixing a sour powder, with a large jar that lasts a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49386129228004,"sku":"gen-037","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/L-CitrullineCapsGEN.jpg?v=1783855670"},{"product_id":"now-l-citrulline-750-mg-par-gelule-90-gelules-vegetales-now-foods","title":"L-Citrulline | 750 mg per capsule | 90 Veg Capsules | NOW Foods","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNOW Foods L-Citrulline 750 mg\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo you prefer L-citrulline in capsule form rather than powder? This NOW Foods L-Citrulline provides 750 mg per vegetable capsule. Citrulline is an amino acid naturally found in food, with watermelon being its most famous source, and which your body also produces itself. A pot contains 90 capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is citrulline?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCitrulline is an amino acid, but it is not one of the protein-building amino acids like most others. It is a so-called free amino acid that plays a role in your body's metabolism. Its name comes from Citrullus, the Latin word for watermelon, as it was from this fruit that the amino acid was first isolated. Watermelon remains the richest dietary source; smaller quantities are found in other types of melons, cucumber, and squash. Since large portions of watermelon must be consumed to achieve noticeable amounts through diet, people who wish to supplement citrulline in a targeted way often opt for a fixed-dose supplement. In the body, citrulline plays a role in the urea cycle, the process by which the body processes nitrogen. It constitutes one of the intermediate steps in this cycle, which explains its close link with the amino acids arginine and ornithine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCitrulline, arginine, and citrulline malate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCitrulline is closely related to another amino acid: arginine. In the body, citrulline can indeed be converted into arginine. They are therefore related substances, but not identical. Furthermore, two forms are found in dietary supplements. The first is L-citrulline: the pure amino acid, as in this product. The second is citrulline malate, in which citrulline is bound to malate (malic acid). With citrulline malate, a portion of the weight therefore corresponds to malate and not citrulline, whereas the 750 mg indicated on this label refers entirely to L-citrulline. This difference is useful to know when comparing different products. Citrulline malate is popular in powder form and in pre-workouts, while pure L-citrulline is more often offered as an isolated amino acid, in capsules or powder. The choice of form generally depends on preferences and how you wish to distribute your intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInteresting detail: most of the citrulline in a watermelon is not found in the red flesh, but in the white rind beneath it, which most people discard. To achieve a comparable amount to a supplement dose through diet, one would therefore have to eat a significant amount of watermelon, including the rind. This makes a standardized supplement a more predictable way to take citrulline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCapsules instead of powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOW Foods deliberately keeps this L-citrulline simple: a single main ingredient in a hypromellose vegetable capsule, without complex blends. It contains, as excipients, only vegetable stearic acid and silicon dioxide. The advantage of capsules over powder lies in simplicity: nothing to weigh, dissolve, or taste, and the capsules are easy to carry. According to the label, the product is not made with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, or tree nuts, although it is produced in a facility where such allergens are present elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule form also offers greater flexibility in organizing your intake. Where powder ties you to a fixed measure, capsules allow you to distribute the two daily units at different times if that suits your routine better.
