Supplement Reviews

Pyruvate

This is a metabolic intermediary substance that has been shown to cause fat loss at higher doses.  It can stimulate metabolic rate by supporting optimal thyroid hormone function in the liver.  It seems to also increase fat utilization as well and lower the regaining of weight after a diet program.  High doses like 10 grams and above daily seem to be best.  This is an ingredient that certainly did not live up to its hype but it may have some potential in fat loss.
