What is malate's role?
Malate is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, the body's core pathway for producing cellular energy. Pairing citrulline with malate is intended to support energy production alongside the circulatory benefits of citrulline itself.
How does this support recovery?
By supporting both circulation and cellular energy metabolism, this compound is associated with helping the body clear byproducts like ammonia and lactate that build up during exertion — contributing to that "worn out" feeling.
Its role in SodaFil
L-Citrulline Malate works alongside L-Citrulline HCl and Beta Alanine to round out the endurance and recovery side of the SodaFil formula. See our Beta Alanine article for the fatigue-fighting piece.
Safety considerations
Generally well tolerated; as with the formula's other circulatory ingredients, consult a doctor if you manage a cardiovascular condition or take blood pressure medication.
