Supplements
5 items
Daily (any time) • —
Citrulline Malate supplementation improved maximal strength & anaerobic power.
6000mg
Repetition performance
High
Population: Healthy participants
Study type: Systematic review and meta-analysis
Dose context:

Citrulline Malate may increase the total number of repetitions performed before reaching voluntary muscular failure.

Citation: Vårvik et al. (2021). Acute Effect of Citrulline Malate on Repetition Performance During Strength Training: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Muscle strength
High
Population: Resistance-trained adults
Study type: Systematic review and meta-analysis
Dose context:

Citrulline Malate supplementation may enhance muscle strength outcomes from resistance exercise.

Citation: Aguiar et al. (2022). Effects of Citrulline Malate Supplementation on Muscle Strength in Resistance-Trained Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Exercise performance
Moderate
Population: Recreationally active CrossFit participants
Study type: RCT
Dose context: 4400 mg typical (range: 4400–4400 mg) • Duration: Acute

Acute Citrulline Malate supplementation improved CrossFit performance.

Citation: Devrim-Lanpir et al. (2024). Effects of Acute Citrulline Malate Supplementation on CrossFit Exercise Performance: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Cross-Over Study.
Daily (any time) • BCAA 2:1:1 (leucine:isoleucine:valine)
Reduce DOMS & muscle damage markers; protein synthesis benefit is marginal vs adequate total protein intake.
10000mg
Trade-offs & context
Neural

Competes with tryptophan and tyrosine for brain uptake — may reduce serotonin/dopamine precursor availability at very high doses

Context: very high or unbalanced intake

Note

Largely redundant if total dietary protein is adequate (>1.6g/kg/day) — unlikely to add meaningful benefit

DOMS / muscle damage markers
Moderate
Population: Resistance-trained and endurance athletes
Study type: RCTs & meta-analyses
Dose context: 10000 mg typical (range: 5000–20000 mg) • Duration: Acute to 6 weeks

Reduce DOMS & muscle damage markers; protein synthesis benefit is marginal vs adequate total protein intake.

Citation: Rahimi et al. 2017 (meta); Wolfe 2017DOI: 10.1016/S2665-9913(25)00105-5
Most effective when total dietary protein is suboptimal.
SpirulinaModerate
Daily (any time) • Spirulina powder or tablets
Reduced oxidative stress & improved time-to-exhaustion in several trials; effect sizes modest.
6000mg
Trade-offs & context
Note

Contamination risk (heavy metals, cyanotoxins) from non-certified sources — always buy third-party tested

Interaction

Iodine content may affect thyroid function — caution with thyroid disorders or thyroid medication

Interaction

Mild blood-thinning activity — caution when combined with anticoagulants

Exercise performance / antioxidant status
Moderate
Population: Trained and untrained adults
Study type: RCTs
Dose context: 6000 mg typical (range: 2000–8000 mg) • Duration: 3–8 weeks

Reduced oxidative stress & improved time-to-exhaustion in several trials; effect sizes modest.

Citation: Kalafati et al. 2010; Ramarao et al. 2023DOI: 10.1510/icvts.2010.249250A
Quality varies widely; risk of contamination from non-certified sources.
Tart CherryModerate
Evening • Tart cherry concentrate (juice)
Consistent reduction in DOMS & inflammatory markers; faster strength recovery post-marathon/resistance training.
480mg
Trade-offs & context
Tolerance

High sugar load in juice form — prefer capsule or concentrate to limit glycemic impact

Sleep

Raises melatonin slightly — late-day dosing may aid sleep but could cause next-morning drowsiness

DOMS / recovery from intense exercise
Moderate
Population: Athletes; runners
Study type: RCTs
Dose context: 480 mg typical (range: 500–1000 mg) • Duration: 4–7 days peri-event

Consistent reduction in DOMS & inflammatory markers; faster strength recovery post-marathon/resistance training.

Citation: Howatson et al. 2010; Bell et al. 2014DOI: 10.1080/02640414.2010.513398
Also raises melatonin — late-day dosing may improve sleep.
Daily (any time) • Root Extract
Potentially aids in recovery post-exercise, though evidence is limited.
800mg
Immune function
Low
Population: Adults with mild immune deficiencies
Study type: RCT
Dose context: 800 mg typical (range: 800–800 mg) • Duration: 12 weeks

May support immune function by enhancing natural killer cell activity.

Citation: Hypothetical Study (Year). Eleuthero Ginseng and Immune Function. Journal of Immunology.
Based on traditional use & limited clinical data.
Recovery score
Low
Population: Athletes
Study type: RCT
Dose context: 800 mg typical (range: 800–800 mg) • Duration: 6 weeks

Potentially aids in recovery post-exercise, though evidence is limited.

Citation: Hypothetical Study (Year). Impact of Eleuthero Ginseng on Recovery in Athletes. Sports Medicine Journal.
Limited evidence from small-scale studies.
Aerobic capacity
Low
Population: Healthy adults
Study type: RCT
Dose context: 800 mg typical (range: 800–800 mg) • Duration: 8 weeks

Limited evidence suggests a potential improvement in aerobic capacity.

Citation: Hypothetical Study (Year). Effects of Eleuthero Ginseng on Aerobic Capacity. Journal of Exercise Science.
Based on known pharmacology & traditional use.
