Welcome back, fellow fitness fanatics.
Today’s topic is about Duchenne muscular dystrophy, or DMD. DMD is a genetic disease which results in the loss of muscle tissue and motor function over time. However, there is hope. A Swiss study recently concluded that supplementing with l-citrulline and metformin can prevent muscle degeneration and loss of motor function in DMD patients. But does this have an application in the bodybuilding world? Well, l-citrulline is an important amino acid involved in the synthesis of proteins and nitric oxide, both of which are vital for peak physical performance. Metformin, on the other hand, inhibits protein synthesis, thus negating any possible bodybuilding benefits. Therefore, the combination would not be helpful for athletes. As always, thanks for watching!
