Product Property

Pyruvic acid is a natural substance made in the body that contributes to metabolism and carbohydrate digestion. Pyruvate (as pyruvate dehyrogenase) is required to start the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle (TCA cycle), a process by which the body produces energy from chemical reactions. Natural sources of pyruvate include apples, cheese, dark beer and red wine.

Pyruvic Acid Usage

• Pyruvic acid is involved in biochemical synthesis and metabolic processes of carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids in the body.
• Pyruvic acid is highly reactive and also functions as an important intermediate in fine chemicals such as substrate for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, etc.
• Sodium pyruvate can also be used for infusions as glycolysis is bypassed when used to provide energy to cells.
• Pyruvate is commonly used for weight loss, cholesterol, cataracts, cancer and athletic performance.
• TOPICAL: For aging skin, a 50% pyruvic acid peel applied once weekly for 4 weeks has been used.
