Synergy
What is happening. Both amino acids support endothelial function and exercise performance, and are commonly combined for complementary vascular and ergogenic effects.
Mechanism. L-citrulline raises arginine and nitric oxide driven vasodilation, while taurine supports endothelial function, intracellular calcium handling in muscle, and antioxidant defense, giving complementary vascular and ergogenic effects.
Recommendation. Reasonable to take together pre-exercise for blood flow and performance support; effects are complementary rather than competitive and no time separation is needed.
Stack Score
How this pair moves the number.
Effect on the composite score
If both L-Citrulline and Taurine are in the same stack, this pair applies +2 to your Stack Score (per scored synergy row).
