    What to know

    Citrulline raises blood arginine more reliably than arginine itself, because much of the arginine you swallow is broken down in the gut and liver. Sports studies mostly use 3 to 6 g of citrulline about an hour before exercise, so capsule serves are on the low side. Beetroot juice is well studied for endurance, but capsules contain far less nitrate than juice.

    Who should check first

    • Blood pressure medicine, nitrates or erectile dysfunction medicine: do not combine without your doctor's advice.
    • After a heart attack: do not take arginine.
    • Cold sores or herpes: arginine may trigger outbreaks.
    • History of kidney stones: beetroot is high in oxalate.
