If you are taking creatine then you are only addressing half of the equation of muscle energy, recovery, and growth.
Creatine works by enhancing your muscle’s energy supply and re-supply
capacity through the anaerobic pathway. It does this by increasing
concentrations of creatine phosphate, which is the muscle’s immediate
storage house for valuable phosphate ions. In the form of creatine
phosphate, these ions are readily available to restore the activity of
the primary muscle fuel ATP. Creatine phosphate works in conjunction
with glycogen to provide immediate energy to the muscle. These
compounds do not require the presence of oxygen to do their work, hence
they are termed anaerobic (without oxygen) substrates.
The down side of the story is that creatine phosphate is quickly used
up. In addition to this, anaerobic breakdown of glycogen for energy
(glycolysis) soon comes to a halt as lactic acid builds up.
At this point it is time for the aerobic re-supply of ATP to take over.
The aerobic energy system is complex and involves many metabolic
pathways that use glucose, glycolytic byproducts, as well as fats for
substrates.
Citrulline Malate “Aerobic Creatine???”
As I explained, creatine works by supporting and enhancing the
anaerobic production of energy in the muscle. Unfortunately, it does
nothing to address the production of aerobic energy in the muscle.
This is where citrulline malate comes in. Citrulline malate has been
shown to increase aerobic ATP production in the muscle by 34%! The
result is a marked decrease in fatigue and a substantial increase in
aerobic exercise performance. Citrulline malate does this in part by
stimulating the removal and utilization for energy of the lactic acid
formed during anaerobic glycolysis.
Citrulline malate works synergistically with creatine in another way as
well. After exercise your creatine phosphate levels are depleted and it
takes a while for the free creatine in your muscles to be
rephosphorylated. With citrulline malate, the rate of phosphocreatine
recovery after exercise is increased by 20%! This means that you
recover more quickly between weight training sessions giving yourself a
better opportunity to grow faster.
Citrulline Malate and Ammonia
Ammonia is a toxic metabolic by product produced by your muscles,
especially during intense exercise. Ammonia is removed from the body by
the liver’s urea cycle. Ammonia is very toxic to the body and muscles;
the build up of ammonia in the body results in a rapid onset of
fatigue. If the levels are not reduced, they can lead to muscle
catabolism and interference with brain function. Severe ammonia
toxicity can lead to organ failure, and eventually death.
Citrulline malate stimulates the urea cycle and therefore markedly
increases the body’s ability to remove ammonia. Ammonia is thus
converted to the harmless by-product urea, and excreted from the body.
