Many fitness enthusiasts have made Pyruvate a fundamental part of their training regimen for one simple reason - it works. As a key transporter of glucose from the bloodstream into the eager fibers of hard-worked muscles, this natural combination of calcium and pyruvic acid produces a highly stable element called pyruvate salt - an essential component that has been scientifically proven to produce muscle glycogen while burning fat. Regardless of what your fitness goals may be, incorporating NOW 1000 mg Pyruvate is perfect for anyone wanting to expedite the potential of their training.*

What Is Calcium Pyruvate?
Pyruvate is a substance that naturally occurs in the body. Pyruvate is the foundation of the Krebs, or Citric Acid, Cycle. This Cycle is the process through which the body converts glycogen to energy. Or, 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, as it attracts the least amount of water.
For What Is Pyruvate Used?
Supplementation of Pyruvate increases 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 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 starch. 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.
How Should Pyruvate Be Used?
There should be an initial "saturation" of 6 grams per day, for the first 10 days. Thereafter, the daily amount will vary based on your body weight. We send suggested maintenance charts with every 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.
