Citrulline malate
Description
Citrulline malate (CAS 54940-97-5), also known by the brand name Stimol, is a compound combining the amino acid citrulline with malic acid, used across sports nutrition and pharmaceutical applications.
It supports formulations targeting physical performance and recovery, where the combined action of both components is commercially relevant to formulators and manufacturers in the health sector.
In sports nutrition, this compound is a primary active ingredient in pre-workout powders, capsules, and energy drinks targeting endurance and muscle recovery for professional athletes and hobbyists.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it in oral solutions and tablets for fatigue-related indications, particularly in markets where Stimol has established clinical recognition and widespread consumer trust.
Food and nutraceutical formulators incorporate it into functional beverages and chewable formats where mild acidulant properties contribute to flavor balance alongside its active metabolic function.
It also appears in amino acid blends and recovery formulas where malic acid's role as a metabolic intermediate adds formulation rationale for specific label claims and nutritional profiles.
The product is supplied as a white crystalline powder in standard 2:1 ratio, the form most commonly specified by buyers. Food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications are available for order.
Bulk supply is typically offered in kilogram and metric ton quantities suited to both contract manufacturers and large-scale nutraceutical producers requiring consistent quality and reliable logistics.
