Pyruvate Supplements - Useless as Ergogenic, Surprisingly Effective as Dieting Aid & Body Recompositioning Agent
Pyruvate = Recomp agent, not performance enhancer? I am not sure if you even remember that pyruvate, which is made from glucose through glycolysis, and can be converted back to carbohydrates (such as glucose) via gluconeogenesis, or to fatty acids through acetyl-CoA, has once been touted as (yet another) "next big thing" by parts of the supplement industry. The idea was that pyruvic acid could supply energy to working muscles through the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle) when oxygen is present (aerobic respiration), and alternatively ferment to produce lactate when oxygen is lacking (fermentation) - this would make it the perfect workout fuel for high intensity exercise, but theory and practice are two very different animals.
