PyruvateCalcium pyruvate

Pyruvate is a naturally occurring molecule that is involved in the process of energy production in the body. It is produced when glucose is broken down during cellular respiration and can also be found in some foods, such as red apples, cheese, and red wine.

In protein powders, pyruvate may be added as an ingredient to help improve athletic performance and support weight loss. It is believed to work by increasing the production of ATP, the primary energy currency of the body, which can help to enhance physical performance during exercise. Additionally, pyruvate may help to support weight loss by increasing the metabolism of fat cells and reducing the accumulation of fat in the body.

Pyruvate is generally considered safe when used in recommended amounts.
