Athletic Performance and Recovery
Combining L-Citrulline with Electrolytes can enhance athletic performance and support recovery. L-Citrulline improves nitric oxide production and endurance, while Electrolytes support hydration and muscle function.
L-CitrullineModerate30 min pre-workout • L-Citrulline improves nitric oxide production and endurance.6000mg
L-Citrulline showed moderate evidence for reducing cardiovascular risk factors.
L-Citrulline supplementation showed potential benefits for endurance performance.
L-Citrulline supplementation improved endothelial function & reduced blood pressure.

Excess sodium can raise blood pressure — monitor if hypertensive or on a sodium-restricted diet
Potassium supplementation interacts with ACE inhibitors and potassium-sparing diuretics — risk of dangerous hyperkalaemia
Sodium intake, both at high and low doses, has been found to be associated with health and performance issues in athletes. Besides, there have been theories that an electrolyte imbalance, specifically sodium, contributes to the development of muscle cramps (EAMC) and hyponatremia (EAH).
Sodium supplementation prevents hyponatraemia in prolonged exercise; maintains fluid balance & reduces cramping.

Pre-Workout Performance Stack
Targets acute performance via nitric oxide support, buffering capacity, & central drive.
Adds a copper peptide often discussed in cosmetic/skin contexts to a recovery/joint pairing. Evidence is indirect & component-based.
BPC-157 & TB-500 are the two most researched recovery peptides, with complementary mechanisms. BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound) accelerates tendon, ligament, & gut repair via angiogenesis & growth factor upregulation. TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) promotes systemic tissue repair, reduces inflammation, & improves mobility. GHK-Cu supports collagen synthesis & skin regeneration. Note: all three are research compounds not approved for human therapeutic use.
