Pyruvate aids in the reduction of fat and increases stamina.
Pyruvate stimulates cellular mitochondria respiration (the cells energy engine) and inhibits
the bodys deposit of fat.
Pyruvate studies reveal a 37% greater weight loss and a
48% greater fat loss, an experience of less fatigue during prolonged exercise and an
increased muscular performance by 20%.
Pyruvate has been making a mark within the scientific
research and fitness realm as of late.
You might ask what all the
fuss is over pyruvate, after all pyruvate occurs naturally in the
body and is the end product of the glycolysis (metabolism of
sugar).
All the fuss is over a discovery made at the University of
Pittsburgh School of Medicine, they showed that a diet
supplemented with pyruvate increased fat loss by up to 48%
and minimized the associated loss of body protein.
Normally
during dietary restriction to promote fat loss, there's always a
corresponding loss of muscle; this study shows otherwise.
Scientists who have been studying pyruvate believe it may
accelerate fat loss by increasing "cellular respiration"- the
amount of energy the mitochondria uses.
At the University of
Texas at Austin, the Department of Kinesiology looked at female
Zucker rats and the role that pyruvate would play in
obese Zucker rats with a modified diet.
Their findings were that
the pyruvate fed rats gained significantly less weight,
had a lower food conversion efficiently and maintained a higher
resting oxygen consumption (mL.min-1 x kg-0.67) than the control rats.
The
pyruvate also lowered the respiratory exchange ratio of the rats resulting in a
90% increase in their lipid oxidation and a 50% decrease in their carbohydrate
oxidation.
These results suggest that pyruvate may favorably alter the
metabolism of obese Zucker rats.
Preliminary research and anecdotal evidence with humans (bodybuilders) has been
promising. (Some protocol call for as much as 30 grams of pyruvate daily).
Certainly
this volume would result in stomach upset in most people.
Fortunately, more recent
studies are showing that the optimal dosage of pyruvate necessary to produce results
may be as little as 5 to 10 grams a day.
Pyruvate is a hot product that could be around for a long time.
Pyruvate may even reduce fat without exercise, which makes this an extremely
attractive "fat burner" for those people who have trouble sticking to an exercise
routine.
For those who are able to maintain a strict exercise routine, but have trouble
losing weight, pyruvate may help them attain their goals without the
nervousness/jittering caused by some thermogenic fat burners.
The fact that
pyruvate may increase endurance by up to 20% makes it even more attractive
to bodybuilders and anyone who is on a calorie restricted diet because of how hard it is
to get intense workouts once you have cut back on calories.
The added endurance
may make getting an intense workout easier.
