The
study dose for creatine is between 3 - 5 grams, beta alanine should be between 3.2 - 6.4 grams, and
citrulline malate should be between 6 - 8 grams.
Studies have also found that growth hormone increased more in
citrulline malate group compared to placebo groups.
There are many similar types of
studies where researchers found
citrulline malate to significantly reduce fatigue.
More interestingly, another
study indicated that
citrulline malate supplementation increased the rate of oxidative ATP production during exercise by 34 %, and increased the rate of phosphocreatine recovery after exercise by 20 % - indicating a large contribution of CM towards ATP synthesis and energy production.
One explanation for this difference in findings is that the people in the leg exercise
study were given 6 grams of
citrulline malate, which is 2 grams less than the previous
study.
In one
study, 41 people were randomized to receive either 8 grams of
citrulline malate or a placebo one hour before performing as many repetitions as possible on a flat barbell bench press (11).
