Pyruvate 500 & Pinnacle Pyruvate 1000 - 60 tablets
According to the world's foremost researcher on
pyruvate, Dr. Ronald Stanko of the University of Pittsburgh School
of Medicine, enormous amounts of pyruvate (30-100 grams daily) are
not necessary to realize significant losses in overfat individuals.
Dr. Stanko, who has been called "The Father Of Pyruvate",
recently stated that positive results could be obtained from as
little as 5 grams of pyruvate per day.
The lower doses that Dr. Stanko recommends are
based on non-published research with his own group of test subjects.
Now, an independent and highly prestigious study conducted by medical
doctors and dietitians at the Beth Israel Medical Center in New
York confirms the low-dose effectiveness of pyruvate!
Dr. Stanko was not involved in the new study.
It was actually a joint effort between medical doctors and dietitians
from Beth Israel Medical Center in New York, and two other nutrition
organizations*. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects
of a pyruvate-based formula on weight, body composition, as well
as energy and fatigue levels in individuals who were 10-15 lbs overfat.
Fifty-three male and female subjects were instructed
to follow a specific 2000-calorie-per-day diet as well as a defined
five-day per week exercise program. They were then randomly placed
into three different groups: a control group, a placebo group, or
the pyruvate group. All groups followed the exact same diet and
exercise program for six weeks.
The placebo group received capsules of inactive
placebo (maltodextrin) which provided about the same calories as
pyruvate. The control group did not receive any capsules. The pyruvate
group received capsules that provided them with 6 grams of pyruvate
daily, as well as 250 mcg of chromium.
Interestingly, when all of the numbers were in
and the statistics completed, no significant change in bodyweight
was found in any of the three groups. But despite no discernable
change in bodyweight, there was a significant change in body composition–that
is the ratio of body fat to lean body mass (i.e., muscle).
The researchers found that the participants ingesting
the pyruvate lost 4.8 lbs of body fat during the six week study.
This is a loss equivalent to 12.4% of their original amount of body
fat. This loss of 4.8 lbs was quite a contrast to the 0.1 lb gain
in body fat found in the control group, and the 0.2 lb loss observed
in the placebo group. The 4.8 lb loss of body fat in six weeks becomes
even more significant when you consider that the study participants
were ingesting 2000 calories a day, and not the 500 or 1000 calories
used in some of the original pyruvate studies.
You may be wondering how, if the pyruvate group
lost 4.8 lbs of fat, their bodyweight didn’t change. The answer
is really exciting. The reason their weight didn’t change
is that they also gained 3.4 lbs of lean body mass! This increase
of 3.4 lbs lean body mass is in direct contrast to the small gain
of 0.4 lbs in the control group, and the small loss of 0.3 lbs in
the placebo group.
It is also important to consider that the study
participants did not engage in any heavy duty weight training. They
only performed a 30 minute routine of aerobic and anaerobic exercise
five days per week. Clearly, the pyruvate played an integral role
in the gain of lean muscle.
The reduction of body fat and increase in lean
body mass were not the only positive effects seen with pyruvate.
The group ingesting the pyruvate/chromium capsules also experienced
an 18% increase in vigor or energy levels, which is highly significant
when compared to the increase of only 1.8% and 4.5% found in the
control and placebo groups, respectively. The pyruvate group also
experienced a 71% decrease in fatigue levels, compared to a 48%
reduction in fatigue with the placebo group.
Pinnacle Pyruvate helps you:
- Lose fat
- Increase energy and endurance
- Faster, more complete recovery
Pyruvate 500’s patented Advanced Delivery
Sytem (A-DS**) optimizes Pyruvate in the body. Through a bioactive
process, Insulin is combined with Pyruvate to form a unique blended
complex, which acts as a “carrier” for the Pyruvate
“cargo” helping it to be effectively carried throughout
the body and delivered directly into the bloodstream.
This insulinization also works like an extended
release mechanism keeping target tissues saturated with more consistent
levels of desired nutrients and extending benefits (over a 10 hour
period) long after other supplements have been spent or wasted.
Pinnacle’s perfected Pyruvate provides
calcium, potassium and sodium stabilized trimin complex salts of
pyruvic acid - providing the most advanced and stable form of Pyruvate
ever developed and patented for weight and fat reduction.
