Pure Pharmaceutical Grade of D-Ribose Powder
D-ribose is a naturally occurring sugar present in all living cells. It is a key component in many biological pathways, but is most active in glycation (bonding between a sugar and a protein or fat molecule).
D-ribose, together with adenine, make the adenosine molecule of adenosine triphosphate, the main storage and transportation unit of energy.
Main Uses: Improvement of athletic performance by bringing more energy to the muscles, mucle cramps, chonic fatigue syndrome, fybromyalgia
Clinical studies have used between 500 mg -15 g daily. Doses of 500 mg may lead to 100% improvement of muscle efficacy.
Doses of and above 10 g a day may cause some adverse effects and are not recommended unless prescribed by a medical practitioner. Caution and medical supervision is required when taken by people on medications for diabetes or low blood pressure. When supplementing with 15 g it is advised to separate into three 5 g doses.
Additional Information:
D-ribose is also unique in that it does not raise your blood sugar, unlike glucose and fructose (sugar from fruits).
D-ribose is generally safe as a short-term supplement for those recovering from Adrenal Fatigue. However, D-ribose side-effects include diarrhea, nausea, headache, and stomach discomfort. It also has been shown to cause a drop in blood sugar levels.
1) D-ribose increases ATP levels in heart cells and improves heart function by improving the efficacy of the heart muscle. Congestive heart failure is a condition in which heart muscles don’t pump blood as well as they should. In a study of 15 congestive heart failure patients, D-ribose improved heart function. (1)
2) D-Ribose Helps with fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
A pilot study of 41 patients with fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome found that 5 grams of D-ribose daily improved energy, sleep, mental clarity, pain intensity, and well-being. (2)
3) D-Ribose Replenishes Energy Reserves
D-ribose enhances the recovery of energy reserves following inadequate blood supply to organs and tissues after high-intensity exercise.
4) D-Ribose Improves Muscular Strength
