PubMed indexes 8 records that name Beetroot Extract (Dietary Nitrate) and L-Citrulline together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.
Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.
This page lists published research relevant to Beetroot Extract (Dietary Nitrate) and L-Citrulline. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.
Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.
Names both Beetroot Extract (Dietary Nitrate) and L-Citrulline in its title.
“No other measurements were significantly affected by treatment (all p > 0.05). Results suggest that neither CitMal nor BEET significantly influence resting BP, blood flow, or metabolic efficiency during submaximal leg extension in recreationally active males.”
Names both Beetroot Extract (Dietary Nitrate) and L-Citrulline in its title.
“No other variables were affected by treatment (all p > 0.05). While BEET increased NOx, neither treatment was found to enhance performance, blood flow, metabolic efficiency, nor the hormonal response to leg extension exercise.”
Names both Beetroot Extract (Dietary Nitrate) and L-Citrulline in its title.
Names both Beetroot Extract (Dietary Nitrate) and L-Citrulline in its title.
“Nitrate content in BP was stable over 32 days in all temperatures evaluated, while nitrate content in beetroot juice was reduced in day 2 at 25 °C and day 8 at 4 °C. In conclusion, L-citrulline of the microencapsulated watermelon rind and nitrate of the microencapsulated beetroot were stable throughout storage.”
Names both Beetroot Extract (Dietary Nitrate) and L-Citrulline in its title.
“Increased intakes of plant-derived nitrate have the potential to diminish the quenching of NO by plasma hemoglobin in sickle cell patients, while boosting systemic NO production independent of NO synthase activity. In addition to the well-documented utility of hydroxyurea - possibly a suboptimal strategy for life-long therapy owing to its mutagenic activity - rational pharmaceutical options for managing sickle cell disease include pentoxifylline and phosphodiesterase 5…”
Names both Beetroot Extract (Dietary Nitrate) and L-Citrulline in its title.
“Foods rich in polyphenols and nitrate provide trivial benefits for endurance exercise performance, although these effects may be food dependent. Highly trained endurance athletes do not appear to benefit from consuming nitrate-rich foods but may benefit from polyphenol consumption. Further research into food sources, dosage and supplementation duration to optimise the ergogenic response to polyphenol consumption is warranted.”
Names Beetroot Extract (Dietary Nitrate) and L-Citrulline together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.
“After 1 week, no effects on energy metabolism and substrate utilization were observed after the daily co-ingestion of BR extract plus CIT supplement, therefore longer (> 7 days) and higher doses of supplementation might be needed to influence metabolism.”
Names Beetroot Extract (Dietary Nitrate) and L-Citrulline together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.
Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:
NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Beetroot Extract (Dietary Nitrate), L-Citrulline, and several hundred other substances.
The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
