L-citrulline — decreases time-trial completion time
Evidence strength: limited.Finding“L-Citrulline supplementation significantly reduced completion time compared with placebo, with a group mean reduction of 1.5 % (placebo: 578 ± 15 s, L-citrulline: 569 ± 14 s, p < 0.05, Fig. 3).”

L-citrulline — increases plasma citrulline concentration
Evidence strength: limited.Findingreplicated ×1“On Day 8, plasma L-citrulline and L-arginine levels after TT were significantly higher in the l-citrulline group than in the placebo group.”
