Calcium Pyruvate CAS:52009-14-0 Manufacturer Supplier

Calcium pyruvate is the calcium salt of pyruvate. It is very stable. It appears as white crystalline powder and is odorless and almost neutral. It is slightly soluble in water. Pyruvate, however, is extremely unstable and is easily to be oxidized with weak oxidant Fe and H2O2 being able to oxidize the pyruvate into acetate and release the carbon dioxide at the same time. Pyruvate is the intermediate product during the in vivo carbohydrate metabolism in the body of the organisms as well as the indispensable transit point for both protein and lipid metabolism to go through.

Application and Effect

Pyruvic acid is a component of the human body and mainly participates in the metabolism of carbohydrate and lipid inside the human body. It is also one of the intermediate products of carbohydrate metabolism.Pyruvic acid and its generated salt have a wide range of application in the medical field. They can be applied to the production of sedative, antioxidant, antiviral reagents as well as the synthesis of drugs for treatment of hypertension and so on.Calcium pyruvate, after entering into the body, was first displaced by the gastric secreted hydrochloric acid to become weak organic acid-pyruvate (molecular weight 88) which can easily penetrate through the cell membrane and get into the cell. It then gets into the energy plants of the cell-mitochondria via osmosis effect, further oxidizing and burning the shipped fatty acids (primarily long-chain) for generating energy.
