Product Overview
Citrulline is a non-essential amino acid first identified in watermelon, from which it takes its name (citrullus is Latin for watermelon). In the body, citrulline is converted to L-arginine and subsequently participates in the production of nitric oxide, a signaling molecule involved in blood vessel dilation. Supplement-grade citrulline is most commonly supplied as L-citrulline or as citrulline malate, a compound bound to malic acid.*
Because of its role upstream of nitric oxide production, citrulline is one of the most widely used ingredients in pre-workout and pump-focused sports nutrition formulas, where it is commonly used to support blood flow, exercise performance, and training endurance.*
How Brands Use Citrulline
- Formulated into pre-workout powders as a primary "pump" ingredient alongside beta-alanine and caffeine
- Offered as citrulline malate for brands that want the added malic acid component in their formula
- Combined with arginine, betaine, or nitrate sources in vascularity- and endurance-focused blends
- Dosed at higher per-serving amounts than many other amino acids, which affects powder scoop size and packaging
- Formulated unflavored for stacking products or flavored for stand-alone pre-workout SKUs
Private label sports nutrition brands most often request citrulline as either L-citrulline or citrulline malate at specific per-serving dosing, since typical effective serving sizes are larger than many other amino acids, which affects scoop size, powder density, and packaging format. We help brand owners choose the citrulline form and dose that fits their target product and price point.
Health Genesis Corporation manufactures citrulline-based sports nutrition formulas at our FDA-registered, GMP-certified, NSF-certified facility in Davie, Florida. As a family-owned manufacturer with more than 25 years of experience, we offer flexible formulation, low minimum order quantities, and in-house label design for pre-workout and performance brands.
What is the difference between L-citrulline and citrulline malate?
L-citrulline is the free amino acid, while citrulline malate binds citrulline to malic acid; brands choose between the two based on target dosing, formula cost, and desired label claims.
Why do citrulline serving sizes tend to be larger than other amino acids?
Effective citrulline dosing is typically higher on a per-serving basis than many other amino acids, which is a key factor we account for in scoop size and packaging design.
Can citrulline be combined with other pre-workout ingredients in one formula?
Yes, we regularly formulate citrulline alongside beta-alanine, caffeine, betaine, and other common pre-workout ingredients to build a complete finished product.
