Pyruvate is a substance that naturally occurs in the body. Pyruvate is the foundation of the Krebs, or Citric Acid, Cycle. This Cycle, further explained below, is the process (which uses Pyruvate) through which the body converts glycogen to energy. More simply, it is how the body burns sugar and starch. Thus, Pyruvate plays a crucial role in this conversion of food to energy. Pyruvate is the salt form of pyruvic acid; with Calcium Pyruvate, calcium is used as the stabilizing mineral. Calcium is the best stabilizing agent for Pyruvate, as it attracts the least amount of water.
 
For What Is Calcium Pyruvate Used?
Supplementation of Pyruvate has been shown to increase cellular respiration, or the amount of energy the mitochondria (the cells' metabolic furnace) use. The more energy they use, the less the body stores as fat.
 
Are There Any Side Effects With Calcium Pyruvate?
Pyruvate is 100% safe; it naturally occurs in the body as an end-product of the metabolism of sugar or starch. Supplementation with Pyruvate has been found to increase the metabolism, accelerating the burning of sugar and starch4,5,6,7. The only side-effects observed from mega-doses of Pyruvate have been gastric distress (gas; a natural byproduct of digestion)--and this is from doses 10 times the recommended amount of Pyruvate.

How Should Calcium Pyruvate Be Used?
There should be an initial "saturation" of 6 grams of Pyruvate per day, for the first 10 days. Thereafter, the daily amount will vary based on your body weight. We send a suggested maintenance chart with every Pyruvate order.
 
Pyruvate works best when accompanied by exercise--even walking 30 minutes per day, 3 to 4 days per week can help produce the desired results.
 
Many Pyruvate users experience an increased appetite resulting from their increased energy level and metabolism. We suggest an appetite suppressant to offset this increased appetite.

What We Have Experienced with Calcium Pyruvate
Pyruvate is a great dietary supplement that works best for moderately active people--20 to 30 minutes of exercise (walking counts) 3 to 4 times per week. Most people notice an increase in their energy level after about 10 days.

 

Why Should I use Pyruvate to Lose Weight?
Pyruvate occurs naturally in the body and some foods but many people don't get enough of it from their diets. Pyruvate's beneficial effects are believed to result from its improved transport of glucose into muscle cells, resulting in increased availability of "high-octane" fuel for the body. This increased fuel results in increased support and maintenance of exercise levels. Consequently, pyruvate allows you to burn more calories, tone your muscles and raise your metabolism as your energy and ability to work out longer and stronger increases.
