NBAF Mag- Pyruvate: A Comprehensive Review
So, what is pyruvate exactly? Lots of people are asking the same question. Here is some info I got from Bill Phillips Sports Supplement Review 3rd Issue.
Pyruvate is a compound that occurs naturally in our bodies and is the end product of the metabolism of sugar and starch. It's the gateway to the citric acid cycle. This is an energy cycle of chemicla and enzyme actions that produce ATP (which creatine also boosts when you take it). Pyruvate increases your "cellular respiration" or the amount of energy the mitochondria uses as well as inhibiting fat production in the body. Some studies using HIGH doses have even shown pyruvate reduces fat without exercise.
Now no one really knows what dosage to take. See the companys are all in an courthouse brawl about who holds the rights to this product. Which has slowed down on the research of it also. Now in the studies showing that it reduced fat loss in obese women 48%- they were using 36 grams a day. Now thats a lot. Using even 30 grams would make your stomach do filp flops to no end.
And to top it off, the dosage in what the vitamin shops and sports stores are selling is around 2 grams per day. That's between 1/9 and 1/15 of the dosage that those studies used. So the advertising for these pyruvate products needs to be worked on a little (in my opinion), and considering the FDA doesn't make approvals of these things they can't really say 'Uhhh hey guys, stop lying to the public'. I'm not saying the stuff isn't going to work. Infact I'm considering buying the stuff just to see if it does work.
What harm can it do, right? None I hope!! I'll give some updates on how it works for me.
Meanwhile here are some links for more info on Pyruvate. Keep in mind, lots of people have lots of different opinions, so try not to stick to just the good ones in the hopes that they will be the same for you! You may end up finding you have spent a lot of money and time for no results. But the best research is trial and error, but again Consult you doctor before starting any diet or exercise plan!
