Applied Nutrition Citrulline Malate 2:1 Powder

Category: Pre-Workout Pump + Blood-Flow Support
Servings: 100 (3 g per scoop; 300 g tub)
Key actives: Citrulline Malate 2:1 (pure powder)

⚡ Quick Summary
A clean, single-ingredient route to better pumps and work capacity. Citrulline Malate is one of the most reliable nitric-oxide boosters, and this tub keeps it simple—no flavours, no sweeteners, just powder you can dose to your needs. The only catch: the label’s 3 g “serving” is light; most studies use 6–8 g pre-workout (≈2–3 scoops here).

🧠 Necessity — 11 / 20
Helpful if you want a stimulant-free performance edge (pump, endurance, perceived effort). Not essential for general health or well-programmed sessions where sleep, carbs, and hydration are already dialled.

⚙️ Effectiveness — 14 / 20
Citrulline Malate (best-evidence NO booster) supports increased arginine and nitric oxide, improving blood flow and high-rep performance. Strong results typically come at 6–8 g about 30–60 minutes pre-training. This product is fully capable of that—if you take multiple scoops. At the labelled 3 g, effects are modest.

🌿 Ingredients — 18 / 20
Ultra-simple: just Citrulline Malate 2:1. No colours, flavours, gums, or sweeteners. Suitable for most diets and “tested for athletes” is a plus. Exactly how a foundational ergogenic should look.

🛡️ Safety — 18 / 20
Generally very well tolerated. Possible mild GI discomfort at higher doses; split dosing if needed. No stimulants; low interaction profile. Standard supplement cautions apply (pregnancy/medical conditions: consult a professional).

💷 Value — 18 / 20
£13–£15 for 300 g is strong value. Dosed at 8 g, you get ~37 real-world servings (~35–40p each); at 6 g, ~50 servings. Excellent cost for an evidence-backed pre-workout base.
