What is pyruvate? We all have a special molecule present in every living cell called adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which captures and stores our energy. In order to produce ATP, our bodies go through a process called glycolysis, which simply metabolizes sugar. Pyruvate is part of the end result of glycolysis and a necessary precursor for ATP to occur. No ATP, no energy. Incidentally, pyruvate can also be found in minute amounts in some foods like red and golden delicious apples, some cheeses, spinach, bananas and oranges, and garlic.
People are always looking for that extra edge to boost their performance or change their appearance without the extra effort. If a little additional elbow grease isn't conceivable, then consider this: What does a 37% higher weight loss and 48% higher fat loss mean to the average lay consumer? 37% and 48% mean absolutely nothing unless asked to reveal whom this percentage might apply to and under what conditions. The reality behind these numbers involved female subjects who were morbidly obese, restricted to minimal physical movement while maintained in a metabolic ward, and were supplied a liquid diet consisting of 500 to 1,000 kilocalories per day. These conditions don't really pertain to the general public. The outcome was that the whopping 48% fat loss equated to only 1.3 kilograms or 2.86 pounds more than the control group. The enormous 37% increase in weight loss revealed only 1.6 kilograms or 3.52 pounds. Other data included the dosage amounts administered to the subjects (22 to 28 grams per day), which greatly exceeds the recommended dosage in commercial preparations of 3 to 5 grams per day.
The experiment that resulted in a 20% increase in energy utilized untrained male subjects who were administered 20 to 100 times more than the commercially available pyruvate. This particular study measured only the ergometric status of the subjects' appendages. There's more to a human body than just arms and legs. No studies have yet been performed on any athletes. Other claims are either unfounded or were laboratory tested in-vitro.
