The number one question you should be asking
yourself is “How much do I need to take to
notice the nitric oxide benefits”. I was reading that
some people have taken up to 10g of Citrulline which
caused them to have an upset stomach during their
workouts. Understandably, no one wants to have an
upset stomach during their workout, so let’s break
down the dosages based on what Grant Tinsley PHD
recommends from Health Line:
1) Weight Training – 6-8 grams of Citrulline Malate
and about 4.5 grams of L-Citrulline.
2) Oxygen in Muscle – 6 grams helps improve
oxygen levels in your body.
As mentioned before, the pre-workouts in the
market today range in L-Citrulline concentration.
The best way to see what works best for you is to try
a couple smaller dosed pre-workouts or single
ingredient Citrulline and stay at the same quantity
for a week or two. You may find that your body will
get used to a certain dose, so you will want to add
more to feel a better pump, which is what I find
typically happens.
