Calcium Pyruvate is a supplement which combines pyruvic acid, an organic acid (ketone), with calcium. Pyruvate, that is, pyruvic acid without one hydrogen atom, is important for many metabolic processes in living organisms – such as providing energy. For example, when glucose is broken down through glycolysis, the end result is pyruvate which then provides energy in two different ways to the organism. One of these processes helps in the conversion of carbohydrates and fats into energy. Calcium when coupled with Pyruvate stabilizes this process and makes it more efficient. Calcium Pyruvate thus boosts the metabolism, creates more energy in the process and helps weight loss occur at a faster rate. There can be an even stronger effect on burning fat when Calcium Pyruvate intake is coupled with good exercise, because the surplus energy which is released is used for burning additional fat.
