Bergamot & L-citrulline combination enhances athletic performance

A recent study suggests that combining L-citrulline, an amino acid, with a bergamot extract (Bergamot Polyphenolic Fraction Gold or BPFG) may enhance nitric oxide production, leading to improved exercise performance. The research involved 90 male cyclists divided into nine groups, each receiving different combinations of L-citrulline and BPFG. The findings indicated that significant improvements in athletic performance were observed only when L-citrulline and bergamot were taken together in one supplement (NOMax). The study concludes that this combination could optimize nitric oxide levels, supporting blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles, thereby enhancing athletic performance.
