Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis examined whether citrulline supplementation improves strength and power in high-intensity exercises, covering studies that tested healthy men and women performing resistance training or sprints.
  • The review included 12 studies with 198 participants, focusing on tests involving large muscle groups and repeated muscle actions, but excluding studies with other supplement combinations, clinical populations, or different exercise types.
  • The overall findings showed low variability among studies, but the detailed effects of citrulline on enhancing exercise performance still require further clarification.]

It's huge for #supplements to get enough research for a meta-analysis. Citrulline is right up there in effectiveness with creatine and caffeine; it improves strength endurance (and power to a lesser degree) by increasing blood flow. #gym #bodybuilding https://t.co/l9P6JQxwry
