The citraline is the trojan horse to get past the enzyme at the villi wall. The way you explain makes understanding this effortless. I think a year with you I could be a doc too. Awesome teacher.
Whenever i take citruline malate my ears go red, so i take arginine and get the same pump. I've also taken both at the same time but arginine works just as well. The truth
Arginine upon waking, and citrulline pre-workout. There are far more used for arginine than just NO2. It has many metabolic pathways, and works better with citrulline, and creatine. Why choose one? Use both.
BINGO! Nobody else talks about this. When you wake up take 3-5g of L-Arginine, then hour before workout take 6-9g of Citrulline Malate (If you can buy pure L-Citrulline without Malate additive then you only need 4-6 grams of it, but for Citrulline Malate you need to take up to 9g to get the minimum effective clinically studied dose)
Forget preworkout products...it takes several hours for citrulline to produce nitric oxide...and forget protein powders...American diets are loaded with protein...the only product that builds muscle is anabolic steroids..
Currently studying Biology, and what you are saying is valid, and accurate. This is what I like, being able to make be informed, and aiding in making an informed decision, thank you for this⚔️⚔️⚔️
Been using L cirtuline for months and ALWAYS a bigger pump and veins engorged - additional benefits include making my old veins more elastic and helping in the bedroom 😉
Thanks Jym, I've been using Citruline Malate ever since I ran out of AAKGs 6 months ago. Hands down the best kept secret in the industry. Keep the knowledge coming. 🙏🏾
Definitely respect what you are saying and I know some people love Citriline however I like Arginine, 3grams of A-AKG pre workout. Everyone is different so try both and see what works best for you.
Its crazy that I have never seen anyone do a review on the effects of taking 100mg Pycnogenol (Pycnogenol acts as a catalyst that makes the body absorb arginine and form it into NO) and 5g Arginine together resulting in way more energy production and less fatigue when training and increased blood flow by a large amount compared to taking arginine alone. It has benefited my bodybuilding lifestyle hugely.
This was fantastic, brother. Thanks for clearly spelling this out. I've noticed that Cit hits me better than Arg now I know why. I stack the little blue pill with Cit to rock-on like I'm 18 again 💪
Last summer I ate a big pile of watermelon...later that night i awoke with a raging hardon...I wondered if it was the watermelon...turns out watermelon is loaded with citrulline...it works ten times better than arginine...this stuff works!!
Enzymes take time to break things down. I use them doing gardening they breakdown dead root matter and convert it into food for the plant and creates room for new root growth.
I've experimented with different forms of arginin and citrullin the last 2,5 years. really must say that citrullin malate always gave me the strongest pumps out of all boosting supplements. def gonna stick to it!
L arginine and L citrulline both Work good u notice a different. Even tho it's not the malate version. Add L arginine to your pre you'll notice a huge difference in pump even tho it didn't absorb as much
Excellent video , will binge watch your channel now .. can you clear me one thing? Can we add creatine and Citrulline both as a Pre workout?? or keep them both seperately ? Maybe creatine after workout?? What works the most , pls clarify
Hi Jim, I am using L-Citrulline together with 2 glasses of apple juice (30-45 minutes before work-out). Separately I take every day Creatine. Also as a shake mixed with Whey after training. According to my information you don't have to use Citrulline Malate 2:1 because I already simulated it with the apple juice. Is this correct according to your knowledge? Cheers, Francois
So citronella malate a compound? It's a combination of 2? Lcitroline amd malicious acid. If that's the case just adic malicious acid to Ur lcarnitine which Ur sourcing with the apple juice maybe. Apple cider vinegar is what sort of acid? What's malic acid?
Mix powder that i do, is mixing Mix big creatine together 1kg each, little organic soda, beets powder, citruline Malate, Goat weed, Butea Superba, tribulus, ginseng ..amazing!!!
2 trips to the gym after AAKG on an empty stomach, never again,, heart skipped a beat or had a double beat. . first time I pushed 185BPM and I am almost 51.. happy doing 183 on my own the day before without AAKG,
Hey Jim great product info and product line you have there. Question though, for someone as myself who doesn't do well with stimulants such as caffeine, will you ever put out a product like your Jym pre that is stimulant free? You can probably add some d-aspartic acid or arachadonic acid to juice it up a bit or even add in some karbolyn for added glycogen loading and pumps. Would buy it 10/10. keep up the good work mate.
I tried to get that at gnc a while ago and the guy didn't know what I was talking about told me it was nonsense and gave me a L-citrulline complex doesn't do shit for me. arginine magnesium and zinc together and got a huge pump amazing pump. Idk why or what did it my dad just told me to try that one day before working out and I had great results the whole month I did it.
And how does citrulline help with increasing NO when citrulline needs NO to produce arginine? It is one equation and the stechiometry is trivial. It is one equation with two directions. You either consume citrulline + NO to produce arginine, or arginine to produce NO + citrulline by exactly the same amounts. So I don't get the point. Somebody mentioned the nitrate/nitrites pathway, I have no clue a out that as a way to produce arginine from citrulline without NO consumption.
The best thing to do is try both separately. Ive tried L arginine and 100% theres a benefit to me especially with breathing and sports like football helped me a lot. Ive tried aakg no benefit at all. Ive tried l arginine with the letters hcl after it and i found it to not have the same effect even tho hcl is supposed to help absorbtion so just test it out and see
I eat my body weight of vitamins and minerals everyday , work out 24/7 and live on air pollution and bats blood , been on this lifestyle since lunch time but I’m sure it’s working out, bottom line if you think something is doing you good it’s doing you good 👍
This is somebody whose currently doing a dissertation on the effects of citrulline malate on weightlifting performance.

Hypothetically one of the reasons why the muscles begin to melt after a certain age
Very informative ,I like your approach ,I subbed and liked ! Q; is that a good daily recommend for Nitric oxide benefits and how would beet powders stack up in a cost effective mannor?
When u say: don’t take L-citrulline, take citrulline malate. Should i be looking for something that called: citrulline malate, or “L” -citrulline malate ? A bit confused.
Jim, any recommendations on a Citrulline Malate supplement for folks that cannot consume caffeine for medical reasons? Pre Jym has 300mg of caffeine per serving.
If that's true, then how do you explain all the supplements, and pre/intra/post workouts, and protein compounds that are combining L-Arginine and Citruline in the same bottle?
i never had a problem with absorption of L-arginine. i worked up to 3 grams daily. In fact it worked better than creatine for me. People thought i was taking other stuff. I looked pumped all the time. However..it wrecked my stomach. I already suffer with acid and it increased it ten fold. So i stopped. Would actually consider taking Citrulline Malate. Just a quick note. creatine has been shown to increase male pattern balding
nobody else free bases arginine? ez solutions man smh. it is the cheapest laxative I could amazon though. Real science says if you eat something ammoniated like old cheese it changes the charge on arginine base yielding more digestive friendly form. It may also block arginase in SI

Arginine AKG works
Hi Jim,
I am using L-Citrulline together with 2 glasses of apple juice (30-45 minutes before work-out). Separately I take every day Creatine. Also as a shake mixed with Whey after training.
According to my information you don't have to use Citrulline Malate 2:1 because I already simulated it with the apple juice.
Is this correct according to your knowledge?

May work better for NO2 than citrulline malate ...just no malic acid benefits

Is there a difference in L-Citrulline and Citrulline Malate? Everything I see says L-Citrulline Malate like they are one and the same.
The L infront of it just indicates that it is a amino acid, so there the exact same.
Didn't he say to get citrulline malate instead of L-citrulline in the video?
@@someguy2135 cittrilline malate is just cittrilline bonded to malic acid it helps with the absorption.
Just use both
What is better for nitric oxide, arginine or arginine akg?
Another reason to shun arginine is that it can trigger shingles.
So Arginine isn’t good because it’s not absorbed well ? But taking citruline alone makes arginine turn into NO ? Makes no sense
Citrulline makes arginine within the body and its better absorbed
But citrulline malate is going to do the same job about increasing the nitrogen levels
Any brand to recommend
Thank u sooo much🏋️♀️
