L-Arginine Supplementation Does Not Improve Muscle Function During Recovery from Resistance Exercise

This 2018 randomized controlled trial assessed the effects of L-arginine supplementation on muscle recovery following high-intensity resistance exercise in 20 healthy young adults. Participants were divided into two groups: one receiving L-arginine supplementation and the other a placebo. Over a 72-hour recovery period, various parameters were measured, including maximum repetitions,

The response of muscle protein synthesis following whole-body resistance exercise is greater following 40 g than 20 g of ingested whey protein

This 2016 randomized crossover study investigated the effect of ingesting 20 g versus 40 g of whey protein on muscle protein synthesis (MPS) following whole-body resistance exercise in young resistance-trained men. Using stable isotope tracers and muscle biopsies, the study found that 40 g of whey protein stimulated a significantly

l-Citrulline supplementation improves O2 uptake kinetics and high-intensity exercise performance in humans

The study titled “L-Citrulline supplementation improves O2 uptake kinetics and high-intensity exercise performance in humans” (Journal of Applied Physiology, 2015, PMID: 26023227) examined the effects of short-term L-citrulline (Cit) supplementation on blood pressure, oxygen uptake (V̇O2) kinetics, and exercise performance in healthy adults. This randomized controlled trial found that Cit
