Citrulline is an amino acid that takes part in the cycle of neutralization of ammonia in the liver tissues, formed as a result of the destruction of nitrogen-containing compounds.

Malat is involved in gluconeogenesis and the Krebs cycle, normalizes metabolism, lowers blood lactate levels, and stimulates the body's protective factors of a non-specific nature.

Citrulline malate is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract at a high rate. Its maximum plasma concentration is reached on average about 50 minutes after ingestion.
