Calcium Pyruvate Product Overview
Calcium pyruvate is a white crystalline powder that dissolves in water. It contains about 15–19% calcium and about 80% pyruvate. Pyruvate is a natural intermediate in the metabolism of glucose; the calcium salt is used because free pyruvic acid is an unstable, acidic liquid.
Producers of sports and nutritional products use calcium pyruvate in capsules, tablets and powders, under the regulations of each market. Food producers use it in some functional foods, and cosmetic formulators use pyruvate salts in skin care products.
