More About Ribose
Strenuous work, high-intensity exercise, and many health challenge conditions contribute to a depletion of the energy pool, leading to fatigue, muscle soreness and stiffness. Once reduced, it takes several days for energy levels to return to normal, and in the case of ischemia (low oxygen), they may never recover fully without supplemental help, as there is no food source that can increase the body's level.
Ribose stands alone in its ability to deliver a natural, demonstrable, safe and patent-protected benefit to health conscious consumers.
Ribose is one of the building blocks of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the major energy source for the body's cells.
Patented Energy Enhancer
Ribose has been featured in numerous major medical journals, been the subject of more than 100 peer-reviewed and published scientific and clinical studies, and holds 20 patents.

Ribose
Ribose is fundamental to the existence of all living cells and functions as the sole regulator in the production of ATP (adenosine-triphosphate), the most basic source of all cellular energy. It is the carbohydrate backbone of genetic material and is also core to the production of many essential metabolic compounds.
One key aspect of Ribose lies in its action at low oxygen conditions. When the body's oxygen-carrying capacity decreases, significant health conditions can arise. This is the basis for tissue damage in various medical challenges, including cardiovascular health, muscle and energy health, muscle recovery, and many other medically related challenges. Ribose aids the body to produce cellular energy in low oxygen conditions more efficiently, allowing the body more energy for recovery, delivery of nutrients, and growth and repair of tissues. Nearly every person at some time in their life has fundamental needs to increase energy stores, from professional athletes training to improve performance to individuals struggling with muscle and cardiovascular challenges. Ribose is a powerful partner with Coenzyme Q10 for cellular energy health.
Cardiovascular Benefits
One result of poor cardiovascular health is ischemia, a condition where poor blood flow decreases the amount of oxygen reaching various tissues in the body. When ischemia occurs, the body's cells are not gettng the oxygen they need to properly burn energy-producing fuel (such as ATP), and have less energy available for normal everyday life.
When ischemia occurs, ATP levels may decrease by 50 percent or more, and research suggests that it may take seven to ten days for ATP levels to return to normal. Researchers found that supplemental ribose allowed the heart to recover 85 percent of its ATP levels within 24 hours. Another study found that, following a heart attack, supplemental ribose helped ATP levels and heart function return to normal within two days; without supplemental ribose heart function was still depressed after four weeks.
Supplemental ribose can help the heart rebuild energy, and millions of Americans may significantly benefit from its effects. Ribose may help dramatically improve the quality of life for persons suffering from certain cardiac challenges, and research shows it has a direct effect on heart function for persons struggling with ischemia. Under conditions of cardiac insufficiency, blood flow to the heart is diminished. In this case, cardiac function may be severely diminished, energy stores may be low, and recovery to peak levels may be slow or never achieved.
Sports Performance
If you're a serious athlete or simply serious about achieving peak performance, ribose may be an important supplement for you.
Many athletes experience anoxia (low oxygen) as the result of intense physical exercise. Anoxia occurs when muscles use oxygen faster than it can be supplied through the bloodstream. When intense exercise causes anoxia, ATP energy levels in the cells fall, and it will take several days to restore energy levels.
Supplemental ribose helps rebuild the body's energy level. When anoxia occurs, ATP levels (energy levels) are lowered, cells then do not have enough oxygen to use the ATP, and energy is degraded and then lost, washed away into the bloodstream. Research conducted at the State University of New York at Syracuse and the Copenhagen Muscle Research Center in Denmark show that ATP levels during exercise in the thigh muscle can be reduced by 21% following intense exercise. Other studies have found decreases of up to 47% in other muscles.
Ribose is essential in helping the body restore its cellular energy level. The cells use ribose to convert nutrients into ATP, so it makes sense that more ribose means more ATP (energy) production. Research shows that ribose increases ATP production in both fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscles by 3.4 to 4.3 times.
The catch is, the body only has so much ribose at any one time, and there's no food source that increases the body's ribose level. The good news is that supplemental ribose does just that. Weight lifters, sprinters, football, basketball and soccer players, triathletes, cyclists, and other athletes requiring sudden high-energy bursts may benefit from supplemental ribose. Energy recovery in muscle cells during and after strenuous high-intensity exercise is enhanced with ribose supplementation.
Ribose increases both new growth and helps repair of necessary components for cellular function in heart and skeletal muscle. Research suggests that even low doses of ribose will have an effect on energy recovery following high-intensity exercise. Maintenance doses as low as two grams per day will increase recovery of energy components by increasing new synthesis and salvage of nucleotides that are in danger of being lost due to strenuous activity. Further, there appears to be a functional benefit of ribose loading prior to a high-intensity event.
Fibromyalgia and Muscle Health
Researchers now believe that muscle and energy challenges may be a result of a deficiency of substances needed for the production of ATP. In addition, many times these individuals have low-oxygen conditions in their muscles. Ribose can be of substantial benefit in the production of ATP and related compounds in low-oxygen conditions. It has even been awarded a patent for the treatment of fibromyalgia.
