Description

Zincpyruvate CAS NO 149732-45-6 is a coordination compound of zinc and pyruvic acid, serving as a bioavailable source of both essential elements. This product matters for its role in supporting critical biochemical pathways, including energy metabolism and enzymatic functions. It is needed by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and food fortification industries seeking to formulate advanced dietary supplements and functional ingredients.

Application

• Dietary Supplements: As a key ingredient in mineral supplements and multivitamin formulations to support metabolic health and zinc sufficiency.
• Sports Nutrition: Incorporated into pre-workout and recovery products for its potential role in energy production and muscle function.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of more complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring zinc or pyruvate moieties.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: For the enrichment of functional foods and health drinks aimed at improving nutritional profiles.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Potential use in topical formulations for skin health due to zinc's role in skin repair and pyruvate's exfoliating properties.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or reagent in biochemical and nutritional studies investigating metabolic processes.
