NOW Foods Pyruvate 100 Veg Capsules

NOW® Sports Pyruvate delivers 600 mg of calcium pyruvate per serving. Pyruvate (pyruvic acid) is a biochemical compound involved in many of the body's metabolic processes — the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, glycogen storage and the production of cellular energy.* It's a necessary part of the citric-acid (Krebs) cycle, through which cells produce energy as ATP, the body's primary chemical fuel that powers energy production, muscle contraction and more.* Vegan and steroid-free, it's a simple way to support cellular energy metabolism.*

About the key ingredients

• Pyruvate (as Calcium Pyruvate) – 600 mg: A biochemical compound central to the citric-acid (Krebs) cycle and the production of cellular energy (ATP), involved in the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates.*

Frequently asked questions

What is pyruvate?
Pyruvate (pyruvic acid) is a natural biochemical compound at the center of energy metabolism. It feeds the citric-acid (Krebs) cycle, through which cells produce ATP — the body's primary chemical fuel — and it's involved in metabolizing carbohydrates, fats and proteins.*

How do I take it?
Take 2 capsules daily, preferably with food. It's supplied as calcium pyruvate, and it's vegan and steroid-free.*

Is it a stimulant?
No — pyruvate is not a stimulant and contains no caffeine. It supports energy at the cellular/metabolic level (ATP production) rather than through stimulation.*
