Pyruvate plays a vital role in metabolism and the energy production process. Pyruvate is the critical link between the cell's two main energy-generating cycles, the sugar-burning glycolytic cycle and the Krebs cycle, which converts fats, carbohydrates and proteins into energy. Creatine monohydrate is converted in muscle tissue to creatine phosphate, which helps recycle ATP for energy production in muscle cells. Together, these two dynamic ingredients help power the energy production processes in the body.
