L-Citrulline:DL-Malate(2:1)

L‑Citrulline‑DL‑malate (2:1) is a combined amino‑acid salt that merges the nitric‑oxide‑boosting and blood‑flow‑enhancing effects of L‑citrulline with the energy‑metabolism benefits of malic acid. It is chiefly used in sports‑nutrition supplements to increase endurance, reduce fatigue, and accelerate muscle recovery, often formulated as a pre‑workout ingredient. In the food sector it serves as a nutritional fortifier or acidity regulator, added to functional drinks, energy bars, protein powders, etc., typically at levels below 5 %. As a chemical intermediate, it is widely employed in the production of synthetic resins, dyes, detergents, and cosmetics, improving viscosity, stability, and permeability of the final products. In biomedical research it is used in cellular models to study anti‑inflammatory and metabolic effects, probing its role in oxidative‑stress regulation. Market data indicate that worldwide sales of this compound have grown at roughly 10 % annually over the past three years, making it a key ingredient in the sports‑health industry.
