Calcium pyruvate

Calcium pyruvate (CAS 52009-14-0) is the calcium salt form of pyruvic acid, offering improved stability and handling compared to the free acid.

Where is Calcium pyruvate used?

• Food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical manufacturing: bioavailable pyruvate source for functional formulations
• Dietary supplements and functional foods: weight management and sports nutrition products where pyruvate delivery is the active objective
• Cosmetics: skin-conditioning and anti-aging preparations
• Pharmaceuticals: excipient or active ingredient component in formulations requiring a stable, solid-form pyruvate salt
• Cell culture media and laboratory reagents: non-hygroscopic pyruvate source preferred over sodium pyruvate
• Its role as a metabolic intermediate supports claims around cellular energy and complexion products.

Commercial specifications

• Food-grade and supplement-grade specifications most commercially common
• Material typically assayed at 98% or higher purity
• Documentation supporting USP or Ph. Eur. compliance requirements
