Summary

Citrulline Malate, an emerging supplement in the scientific literature with an overall positive publishing record. More and more these days, you’ll see it alongside the more scientifically established usual suspects like creatine and caffeine in multi-ingredient mixes. But what exactly is it? What’s Citrulline? What’s malate? What do they do? How do they work? What do we know, and what is yet to be determined? In this episode, we're joined by returning guests Ben Esgro and Eric Trexler to answer these questions. Ben is a registered dietitian with two master's degrees, one in sports nutrition and one in pharmaceutical chemistry, and he’s been a supplement formulator and supplement company owner for over a decade. Dr. Eric Trexler actually did his Ph.D. dissertation on Citrulline, so it’s safe to say we have probably the most informed duo on the topic in podcast history. So sit back, learn, and enjoy!

Eric, what do you do when someone rejects a sincere apology? And let me be clear, an apology that

0:07.2

many would say that this individual didn't even have to make because it was about an issue

0:12.4

outside of yourself that serendipously just included you in the conversation. So what would

0:17.8

you say when someone rejects a sincere apology and offer it reconciliation?

0:23.4

I would say if it's truly a sincere apology, you're making it without any expectation of them accepting it.

0:29.9

Yeah.

0:30.7

I mean, so I'm petty, so I'll just speak from my perspective.

0:35.3

I would burn them down because I offered you the olive branch and now it's time for war. And if we're using that old symbolism of the olive branch,

0:42.7

the next step is invasion. You get your Spartans organized, okay, where it's definitely a reference

0:46.9

from ancient Greece. It could be any which way. You want to talk about a third century,

0:51.5

fourth century BC. You want a Puris, a Epicurus

0:55.0

to be invading, you know, lower Italy. What's going to happen here? Something's going to happen

0:59.5

if you don't take, we offer you the gift, which is the olive branch, but it's not like you

1:04.2

continuously offer it, because eventually you're just extending your arm out in a, you know,

1:08.8

front raise for what? A day, two days?

1:11.0

That's not fun.

1:13.1

Yeah, you'd at least have to balance it on the other arm, which would probably be what I would

1:17.3

deal.

1:17.9

But I'm going to retreat back to what I said, Omar, is that, you know, you offer the

1:22.8

olive branch.

1:23.3

They don't take it.

1:23.8

That's okay.
