Nutricost L-Citrulline

Nitric oxide support for blood flow and muscle pumps.. This is a basic, single-ingredient formula that lacks the punch needed for a great workout. Most clinical studies use 6000 mg to 8000 mg to see real changes in blood flow and endurance. At 2500 mg, you are getting a maintenance dose rather than a performance one.

6.5/10
GOOD

Clean and transparent, but the dose is too low for serious performance benefits.
