L-Citrulline (The Pump King)
Also Known As: Citrulline Malate, L-Citrulline Pure
Compound Type: Amino Acid / Nitric Oxide Booster
If you only buy one supplement for erection quality, make it L-Citrulline. For decades, L-Arginine was the go-to supplement for blood flow, but science has proven it to be largely ineffective due to poor absorption. Citrulline solves this problem.
When ingested, Citrulline bypasses the liver and is converted into Arginine in the kidneys. This results in plasma Arginine levels that are **double** what you would get from taking Arginine directly. The result is a massive, sustained spike in Nitric Oxide (NO) that keeps the penis full, heavy, and vascular.
How Does Citrulline Help Size?
It maximizes the volume of blood entering the corpus cavernosum during Jelqing, Pumping, and sex.
The Science: The “Viagra” Effect
1. Erection Hardness:
A study in Urology found that men with mild erectile dysfunction experienced a 50% improvement in erection hardness score (EHS) after supplementing with 1.5g of Citrulline daily. It works by relaxing the smooth muscle tissue, allowing blood to rush in without resistance.
2. Pumping/Clamping Support:
During expansion exercises (like Bathmate or clamping), your goal is to force as much blood as possible into the tissue to stretch the Tunica. Citrulline ensures your arteries are fully dilated, maximizing the efficiency of every pump session.
3. Arginine vs. Citrulline:
Research shows that 3g of Citrulline produces a higher peak in NO levels than 6g of Arginine. It is simply the more bioavailable fuel source.
For PE, choose Pure L-Citrulline.
“Citrulline Malate” is usually mixed 2:1 with Malic Acid. It is great for gym energy, but for penis enlargement, you want the raw amino acid. If you use Malate, you need to take double the dose to get the same effect.
✔ The Verdict: THE #1 SUPPLEMENT
5/5 Stars. This is the foundation of any PE stack. It creates the “biological environment” (high blood volume) required for physical growth. It is safe, effective, and works on the first dose.
3g – 6g
Daily
45 mins Pre-Workout
Safety Profile & Side Effects
- Stomach Issues: Very rare compared to Arginine (which causes diarrhea). Citrulline is very well tolerated.
- Low Blood Pressure: Massive vasodilation can lower BP. Stand up slowly.
- PDE-5 Inhibitors: Do NOT combine high doses of Citrulline with Viagra/Cialis. The combo can drop blood pressure to unsafe levels.
