lol that product is weak... but let him flourish bahaGod damn this kind of stuff pisses me the hell off. People getting in good shape, start making youtube vids, then start promoting GARBAGE products and making GARBAGE claims. This dude has NO idea what his talking about. Straight up, made up bro-science. he is suggesting that burning muscle glycogen interferes with burning fat. So if you take in pyruvate you will not burn glycogen you will burn fat? He is suggesting that this product has the power to change metabolic pathways and the bodies system for using fuel...
Okay end of rant. Seriously most people in here don't need to be taking pre-workout or fat burners, 90% of the time they are a complete sham. If you MUST waste your money, at least do a little research first.1. It's physiologically impossible to stay in Anaerobic Glycolysis for 20 minutes.
2. Anaerobic glycolysis as a primary energy system during activity is limited to 2 minutes or less.
3. You cannot change the fuel type that is needed for a specific intensity of exercise. What this means is, if you are working hard enough to be using muscle glycogen at a high rate-- you cannot switch to buring fat period because fat cannot be burned anaerobically. Fat burning will increase as exercise continues, but it must be at a lower intensity because we have to have oxygen in order to burn fat.
He said it's pyruvate right? We don't absorb pyruvate. Pyruvate is ONLY a metabolic intermediate in glycolysis. It is not a food component.
We cannot abosurb pyruvate... we make pyruvate.
Then I reviewed the product nutrition facts label... And it only gets worse. (insert irritated voice over)
-pyruvate has no energy value in the context of this food. It's a moot point
-1000 mg = 1 g that can never add up to more than 4 kcal per gram... IF you could absorb it and make it into energy which, you cannot do with "pyruvate"
-notice there is NO list of main ingredients.
-none of the label claims fit the listed ingredients. Why because there is NO energy in this product. Notice they did their math wrong for the 1-gram of carb
-way way... way too much potassium
-Oh look! They made up their own name for an ingredient....
-No info on who makes this stuff and there is NO info on the Global Formulas website about the location or contents of this product
Isomaltulose is a fancy name for SUCROSE. But at 1000 mg, there's your 1 gram of carb
I think that's enough... what a waste of $42.45 THAT IS INSANE. DONT BUY THIS...
This is simply an endorsement deal for the guy in the video. Shame on Him.
-informedchoice.org is a great website for checking products.
-make sure the product has an NSF certified seal
-make sure the product has a USF certified seal
-Or just ask me to take a look into your product
IG/Snapchat Models with a little knowledge in fitness but great bodies are taking over. Sad thing is most of their bodies are bought
