Calcium Pyruvate Description

Calcium pyruvate is a nutritional supplement that combines naturally occurring pyruvic acid with calcium. While pyruvate is produced in the body and aids in the conversion of sugar and starches into energy, the two components together can help enhance the metabolism and speed up the creation of energy. Along with helping people feel more energized, using the supplement can also aid in weight loss when used along with a sensible diet and regular exercise.

Because it helps in burning fat to create more fuel for the body to use, the supplement helps to reduce fat that is stored around the abdomen and other parts of the body. The additional energy that is generated helps the body to function more efficiently and comes in handy when exercising as part of an overall health improvement regimen. In an indirect manner, this also means that calcium pyruvate aids in mental as well as physical health, since some emotional issues may have a physical connection.

How to Take Calcium Pyruvate ?

Recommended dosage, active amounts, other details

Most studies on pyruvate substituted dietary carbohydrates for pyruvate as pyruvate itself does contain calories. The dose used in studies showing most fat loss is in the range of 20-50g daily, or replacing 10-20% of caloric intake (initially from carbohydrates) with supplemental pyruvate.

The lowest effective range noted in the aforementioned studies is replacing 6-12g of carbohydrates with pyruvate, but even then the results seen with pyruvate are variable and lacklustre enough to warrant caution in buying this supplement.

Human Effect: 

The majority of the evidence currently does not support a role for supplemental Pyruvate in weight loss. The limited evidence to suggest fat loss are in obese women under severe caloric restriction, ...See more

Weight-LOW	Most evidence suggests that standard oral doses of Pyruvate supplementation do not have a reducing effect on weight, but the effects of high dose pyruvate during severe caloric restriction cannot be ruled out
Blood Pressure	May reduce blood pressure in hyperlipidemics, relation to weight loss not knownFatigueMinor-See study May reduce fatigue during weight loss periods
Heart Rate	May decrease heart rate alongside blood pressure in hyperlipidemics according to one trialLDL-C A reducing effect on LDL-C has been noted once during caloric surplus; practical relevance of this information unknown
Subjective Well-Being	An increase in well being may occur secondary to weight loss, although due to the complications in weight loss with pyruvate this may not be feasible
Total Cholesterol	A reduction in total cholesterol has been noted once in response to a high fat hypercaloric diet; practical relevance unknown
Aerobic Exercise	No significant influence on aerobic exercise performanceHDL-C-MODERATE No significant influence on HDL-C levels
Power Output	No significant influence on power output noted with pyruvate supplementation in healthy athletes
Training Volume	No significant influence on training volume in otherwise healthy persons given an exercise protocol
