D-RIBOSE

Ribose is a naturally occurring sugar that has shown, with positive results, to generate and recover ATP levels (adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the body’s primary energy carrying molecule).

ATP levels drop for a number of reasons, high intensity workouts, heart attacks, heart surgery, or other surgeries which can lead to other concerns of fatigue, muscle soreness, or stiffness.

The enhancement of ATP recovery plays a key role in improving overall health, lifestyle, and level of fitness for people with cardiovascular problems as well as in athletes who are exercising extensively and depleting energy reserves.

Ribose has been featured in numerous major medical journals.

 Ribose effects in athletes

Our ATP levels decrease during exercise and normally do not recover. Even after days of rest, research shows that without supplementation, skeletal muscle has a limited ability to maintain peak performance during periods of repetitive high intensity exercise.

Many athletes experience low oxygen as the result of intense exercise. Anoxia (low oxygen) occurs when muscles use oxygen faster than it can be supplied through the bloodstream.

Studies indicate that oral consumption of ribose leads to an increase of the power productivity in athletes and improves the capacity of skeletal muscles to quickly recover their energy levels after high intensity workouts.

 Dosage: 3-5 grams before and after workout – effects are immediate – peaks at 40 minutes effective for 80 minutes  

Ribose effects for cardiovascular health

ATP keeps your heart beating, muscles contracting and cells functioning. High levels of cellular energy are required to keep tissues running at peak performance.

Ischemia, a condition where poor blood flow decreases the amount of oxygen reaching various tissues in the body is one result of poor cardiovascular health. When this condition occurs, ATP levels decrease by half or more.

Ribose helps your heart rebuild energy by generating more ATP in the body.

Other studies show that following a heart attack, Ribose helped ATP levels and heart function return to normal within 48 hours. Without Ribose heart function was still poor after 4 weeks.

Reports have also shown that Ribose can lower blood sugar levels.

Dosage: 5 grams with each meal for the first 2 weeks. Drop down to 5 grams twice a day w/meal

Ribose effects for Fibromyalgia and Muscle Health

There is no known reason for people developing Fibromyalgia however we do know that people who have this condition also have low ATP levels and a reduced capacity to produce ATP in their muscles. Ribose fuels ATP synthesis which reduces muscle pain and enhances the quality of life for those suffering with fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue.

Dosage: 5 grams with each meal for the first 2 weeks. Drop down to 5 grams twice a day w/meal depending on pain. Need to take at least 10 days to feel affect.

 **Ribose is also known to alleviate altitude sickness and PMS cramping.
