Creatine Pyruvate is a compound of bonded creatine and pyruvic acid. Pyruvic Acid can be paired with creatine to enhance the use of both compounds within the body to produce more enhanced benefits. Pyruvate is actually the buffered form of pyruvic acid and is a product created in the body during the metabolism of carbohydrates and protein.

Pyruvate is formed in the body as a by-product of the normal metabolism of carbohydrates and protein. It is also present in several foods, including red apples, cheese, dark beer, and red wine. The compound is believed to help athletes lose weight, improve their metabolism and help increase endurance.

Pyruvate essentially speeds up the metabolic energy process. It’s the combination of energy system depletion, along with a lowering blood acidity that causes a person to crash during their training. It has been found that supplementing five to six grams of pyruvate, increases the formation of ketones to be used for energy.

It may sound strange, as we are always told to keep away from saturated fats, but actually an increase in dietary fats and pyruvate is done by doing just this. By switching one of your white meat protein meals to a red meat protein and adding another tablespoon of smart fats to balance out the saturated fat increase, will actually speed up metabolism. Finally, supplement five grams of creatine pyruvate taken in divided dosages with food.

Creatine Pyruvate is an energy producer, known for building muscle and reducing body fat. The performance enhancing effects of this formula are supposed to boost energy and endurance, as creatine acts as a buffer by delaying the point when lactic acid causes muscle discomfort, making your workout last longer. In clinical studies, pyruvate reduced body fat, without reducing muscle protein.
