Sodium Pyruvate (Pyruvic Acid Sodium Salt) is an intermediate in sugar metabolism and in enzymatic carbohydrate degradation (alcoholic fermentation) where it is converted to acetaldehyde and CO2 by carboxylase. In muscles, pyruvic acid (derived from glycogen) is reduced to lactic acid during exertion. It is a free radical scavenger and may act to protect against hydrogen peroxide mediated apoptosis.
