"Theoretically, inadequate carbohydrate intake during repeated days of exercise leads to a gradual depletion of muscle glycogen stores and impairment of exercise endurance. More recently, investigators have suggested that training in a low glycogen state may have some beneficial effects on the adaptation of the muscle. This is further discussed in Section VII on nutrition and training adaptations. Dietary guidelines for the general population make recommendations for carbohydrate intake as a percentage of dietary energy (for e.g." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J.

"Congestive heart failure patients have experienced an increase in exercise endurance on only 900 mg of carnitine per day. It also appears to help alleviate the symptoms of angina. The Perfect Quartet Vegetarians often lack L-carnitine in their diets (and most certainly lack D-ribose, which is primarily found in red meat and veal). Carnitine (carnis means "meat" or "flesh") is found in mutton, lamb, beef, red meat, and pork and in only tiny amounts in plant foods." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"A few clinical trials also indicated that pyruvate supplements may improve exercise endurance (page 43) ,7'8 though weight-lifting capacity did not improve.9 Preliminary research indicates that pyruvate functions as an antioxidant (page 467), inhibiting the production of harmful free radicals.10' u' 12 Preliminary research with animals suggests that, due to its antioxidant function, pyruvate may inhibit the growth of cancerous (page 87) tumors.13 However, this effect has not been confirmed in human studies. Where is it found?" - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc. George Constantine, R.Ph., Ph.D. Linnea D.

"During the next 10 years, the men whose exercise endurance (as measured on a treadmill) was in the lowest 20% of the group were at a much higher risk of dying than those who had high total cholesterol levels (above 240)—confirming that exercise is even more important than cholesterol control. •But many patients prefer pills because they're easier. There is no question that many of us would rather take a pill than change our lifestyle. If the pills worked, it would simply be a question of how we want to spend our money." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"Pymvate has also shown some ability to enhance exercise endurance capacity. Used in combination with dihydroxyacetone (DHA), pymvate (100 grams for seven days ) significantly enhanced submaximal arm endurance capacity in untrained males (20 to 26 years old). This placebo-controlled study demonstrated a pymvate ability to significantly increase arm muscle glucose extraction before and during exercise. A follow-up study demonstrated similar positive effects in enhancing leg exercise endurance." - Sheldon Saul Hendler and David Rorvik, PDR for Nutritional Supplements (Get the book.)
