Format:Paperback
This book explains the science behind how the body uses pyruvate to generate energy in a clear and easy to follow manner. Using the advice given in this book I began to take pyruvate to improve my long-distance cycling. I found I had more energy and could easily tackle rides with lots of long climbs without tiring. Additionally, my recovery times improved. As my energy expenditure increased my body fat composition decreased slowly but permanently. In addition to improving stamina and aiding fat loss, this book also explains pyruvate's many other health benefits. An excellent, easy to read book.

The Power of Pyruvate
11 Jan 2003
Format:Paperback
Pyruvate is a natural compound that results from the breakdown of glucose, the source of fuel for the body. Pyruvate enters the cells and helps the body produce energy. Robert T. Stanko, M. D. has researched the role of pyruvate for more than 25 years. In The Power of Pyruvate: The Natural Way to Better Health & Well-Being, he describes how it helps strengthen the immune system, repair diseased tissue, and assists in healthy weight loss.
Pyruvate is found in or metabolized from nearly all foods, however Dr. Stanko suggests taking supplements. He cites numerous studies confirming the benefits of increased intake of pyruvate. It also appears to be non-toxic, even in high doses.
Dr. Stanko says that "one of the most exciting discoveries about pyruvate is its ability to scavenge and stop the production of free radicals." Free radicals are an undesirable by-product of metabolism. They have a role in most diseases, including cancer, arthritis, and organ failures, including the heart, kidneys, and liver.
He also cites studies showing the benefits of increased dosages for Type II diabetes and high blood pressure.
The Power of Pyruvate is an authoritive handbook for all those interested in improving their health and sense of well-being in a safe and effective manner.
