I just started L-Arginine today. The proper dose of Citrulline is a bit fuzzy to me (or did I miss something?).
Technically, if we are to adhere strictly to the patent, the Citruline Malate 2:1 dose needed for 200 mg Citrulline is 300 mg:
2/3 * X = 200
X = 300
where X is mg Citrulline Malate 2:1
Correct? And this assumes that the Malate does not interfere with the L-Arginine effect on NO.
I see that many are taking much larger doses, presumably due to the other beneficial effects of Citrulline, correct? But, are we sure that this is consistent with the desired NO stimulation effect of the L-Arginine in this application?
I had actually just recently started Citrulline as of a week ago as part of the PEM-buster recipe in this thread: http://forums.phoenixrising.me/inde...ce-pem-post-exertional-malaise-crashes.48438/ and this calls for 1.5 grams of Citruline Malate 2:1 using the same formula as above. (I just had turbinate reduction surgery and it triggered some of the worst PEM I have ever had).
So, combining these therapies, I would pair 1.5 g Citrulline Malate 2:1 with the 5 g L-Arginine. Are there any thoughts about this approach? Also, does anyone know of a reason to not take Creatine HCL along with this set of supplements?
To recap, my approach is this formula twice daily:
L-Arginine (5g)
Citrulline Malate 2:1 (1.5g)
Creatine HCL (1g)
Btw, I also take D-Ribose (4g) and Inositol (2g) daily.
And what does this say about supplements for mitochondria support like NAD+, MitoQ, PQQ, Resveratrol, and Pterostilbene?
Thoughts?
Thanks!
