Omakohtaista kokemusta asiasta ei ole, joten piti tyytyä katselemaan nettiä. Tälläinen tieto löytyi, ja jälleen kerran sanonta "tieto lisää tuskaa" näyttää pitävän paikkansa.
"Supplement Key
Green light: Research promising; may be a supplement worth trying
Yellow light: Research preliminary; proceed with caution
Red light: Research paltry; don’t waste your money
Pyruvate
To date, there are over a dozen clinical research studies assessing pyruvate’s effects. And the results have been, for lack of a better term, bastardized to such a degree that the average person might be led to believe this stuff is the next best thing to the magic bullet. But nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is there isn’t a single study supporting the fact that a typical 3-gram to 5-gram daily dose of pyruvate will do much of anything. Don’t believe the advertisements that claim this nutrient can “increase fat loss by 48 percent!” Truth be known, studies showing this kind of effect used 22 grams to 28 grams of pyruvate per day. Consuming this much pyruvate would make most people sick to their stomach.
