Citrulline Malate is an NO pre-workout supplement that supports performance and is completely stimulant-free. It combines the amino acid L-citrulline with a salt of malic acid (malate) in an ideal ratio of 2:1. With no caffeine, it is also an ideal companion for afternoon and evening workouts.
Citrulline Malate is an effective NO pre-workout powder that will support your muscle pump during every workout. The active ingredient is formed by binding the amino acid L-citrulline to a salt of malic acid (malate) in the ideal ratio of 2:1. Unlike multi-ingredient pre-workouts, it contains no caffeine or other stimulants, so you can also use it before afternoon or evening workouts.
Citrulline malate acts as a precursor to the amino acid L-arginine. The body then uses L-arginine to produce nitric oxide (NO), which helps widen blood vessels (vasodilation) and allows blood to flow more efficiently. The result is a better supply of oxygen and nutrients to working muscles, which athletes often describe as a muscle pump or feeling pumped up.
Two independent meta-analyses from recent years agree that taking citrulline malate before exercise leads to a small but demonstrable improvement in strength performance. The first analysed 137 people across 8 studies and focused on how many repetitions athletes could complete before reaching exhaustion during strength training. The result was an average of 3 more repetitions, an increase of 6,4 %.¹ The second meta-analysis included 198 people from 12 studies and examined strength and explosive power performance in general. It found virtually the same effect size as the first study.²
When it comes to food supplements, safety and transparency are essential throughout the entire process, from selecting raw materials to the finished powder. Here are 4 things GymBeam does differently:
- We verify the citrulline content in a specialist German laboratory.
- We manufacture the powder at our own production facility in Germany.
- The product is tested in an accredited German laboratory, which checks compliance with heavy metal limits (lead, cadmium, mercury) and microbiological safety (yeasts, moulds, coliform bacteria, salmonella).
- The product is free from GMOs and allergens, and is suitable for vegans.
Who is citrulline malate suitable for?
1. Bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts
who want effective, stimulant-free pre-workout support as part of their training routine.
2. Runners, cyclists and team sports players
who value support for blood flow and improved delivery of oxygen and nutrients to working muscles.
3. People who train in the afternoon or evening
for whom a caffeine-free supplement is essential to avoid disrupting their sleep.
4. Athletes who want to combine several pre-workout ingredients
as the pure, unflavoured version can easily be added to their own blend (for example, with beta-alanine).
5. Vegans and vegetarians
looking for a pure, plant-based pre-workout supplement.
When should you take citrulline malate?
The best time to take it is 40 to 60 minutes before training, as this is the window in which clinical studies showed an effect on performance. Citrulline malate contains no caffeine or other stimulants, so you can confidently take it in the afternoon or evening without disrupting your ability to fall asleep.
Use on training and rest days
Citrulline malate is typically used for acute pre-workout support, so most users take it only on training days, shortly before exercise. Taking it on rest days is fine, but the performance effect described above was demonstrated specifically with acute use before exercise, not with long-term use on an empty stomach outside of training.
Combining it with other supplements
You can easily add citrulline malate powder to your own pre-workout blend, for example with beta-alanine or creatine.

I mainly use it for muscle regeneration, but I have also heard about its antioxidant effects. It is great that it is a 100% pure product, pure citrulline malate and nothing else. I am satisfied with all gymbeam products so far, I hope it stays that way ;)

This product is excellent especially before training, I recommend taking approx. 3g for 15-30 minutes. before performance. Citrulline is similar in effects to Arginine, but I respond better to Citrulline. It is one of, if not the strongest ingredient in pre-workouts. This way you can control the exact daily dose. For the price, it's really worth it. I recommend combining it with Beta-Alanine - a complete gem!

I recommend! Unpack your own pump as needed, it works incredibly well for me! AAKG L Arginine / Beta analin / L citrulline / vitamin C / Bcaa. This is how I mix it and it's a blast. + A lot of batches come out for a good price!Translated by Google Was this review helpful to you?Pepike

I'm a student and I didn't want to keep spending money on expensive pre-workouts, so I decided to prepare a pre-workout myself and I'm very satisfied, betaalanine, citrulline malate, arginine, absolutely great, you can take as much as you want, the solubility is great. The best choice for me.Translated by Google Was this review helpful to you?Vikino

I am extremely satisfied with this single-component citrulline malaton. I only use it for running, and it really takes what I read about this product, which is that it really delays the onset of lactic acid and thus improves performance during training and incredibly speeds up recovery from falls. It is certainly very suitable for gaining kilometers in preparation for running. A person is more or less always ready to run.Translated by Google Was this review helpful to you?
