FAQ

 

Q: What is L-Citrulline Malate?

A: L-Citrulline Malate is a combined ingredient containing L-Citrulline and malate. It is commonly used in sports nutrition, pre-workout supplements, powdered drink mixes, and other dietary supplement formulations.

Q: What is the difference between 1:1 and 2:1 L-Citrulline Malate?

A: The ratio describes the relative proportion of L-Citrulline and malate in the ingredient. A 2:1 product contains a higher proportion of L-Citrulline relative to malate than a 1:1 product.

Q: Is L-Citrulline Malate the same as pure L-Citrulline?

A: No. Pure L-Citrulline and L-Citrulline Malate have different compositions. The amount of L-Citrulline provided by a specific weight therefore depends on whether the material is pure L-Citrulline or L-Citrulline Malate and, for the latter, which ratio is supplied.

Q: What should buyers check when sourcing L-Citrulline Malate?

A: Buyers should check the ratio, assay, L-Citrulline and malate composition, moisture, heavy metals, microbiological parameters, test methods, COA, packaging, MOQ, lead time, and batch consistency.

Q: What products can use L-Citrulline Malate?

A: Common applications include pre-workout powders, sports nutrition blends, powdered drink mixes, capsules, tablets, and other dietary supplement formulations.

Q: Can I request a sample before placing a bulk order?

A: A sample can be requested for product evaluation, subject to the supplier's sample policy. Testing the actual material can help R&D teams evaluate powder handling, blending, solubility, taste, and compatibility with the finished formulation.

Q: What documents should I request before purchasing?

A: Depending on the application and destination market, buyers can request the product specification, recent COA, packaging information, storage conditions, shelf-life information, safety documentation, and additional testing reports where required.

Q: How should I compare different L-Citrulline Malate suppliers?

A: Compare suppliers based on the same technical criteria, including ratio, assay, composition, quality limits, test methods, COA documentation, packaging, MOQ, lead time, sample availability, and ability to maintain the agreed specification for repeat orders.
