What is Body Recomposition ? In comprehensible terms, Body Recomposition is the process of losing fat and gaining muscle concurrently. Is it attainable? As I explained in one of my blog that the calorie surplus(consuming more calories than your body needs) is the cornerstone for muscle gaining. But in some cases it is possible to gain muscle without any large calorie surplus or any surplus at all. For example, if a grossly obese person is endeavoring to lose fat, in that process he will also gain some muscle as the body will use extra energy from ungodly fat to fuel muscle gain. This is due to the law of thermodynamics – “Energy can neither be created, nor can be destroyed, but can be transformed from one form to another”. In which cases it is feasible? Newbie lifters  have best chance for body recomposition because they’re predominantly primed for muscle building. Also calories/energy can be pulled from fat to fuel muscle building. Overweight individuals  can eat in a calorie deficit

What is Citrulline? L-citrulline is one of the three dietary amino acids in the urea cycle, alongside L-arginine and L-ornithine. It is used in areas where nitric oxide is relevant, namely athletic performance, vascular health, and erectile dysfunction. Citrulline Malate? Citrulline is bound to malate, an organic salt of malic acid. It is the most researched form of citrulline. Malate is mainly responsible for the sour taste of citrulline malate. Arginine or Citrulline? Now if citrulline ultimately produces arginine in our body, why don’t we consume arginine directly? A small amount of research suggests that taking citrulline will lead to higher and more consistent arginine levels than taking arginine itself. Citrulline is very readily converted into arginine as needed and it is also better absorbed than arginine, which not only makes it a better source of arginine for the body but also eventuates in a lower rate of gastrointestinal upset. Benefits? Several studies have shown that cit
