The Benefits of Ribose

Ribose is a simple sugar that occurs naturally in all living cells. Ribose is the structural backbone of ATP, the primary form of energy used for all cellular processes.* Demand for ATP availability is especially critical in the heart and skeletal muscle and ribose supplementation can help to maintain optimal energy levels in these tissues.* Let's take a look at some of the benefits of ribose supplementation.

ATP is the energy currency of the body and is used for everything from muscle contraction to cell regeneration. During exercise, our bodies use large amounts of ATP and it needs to be replenished quickly for optimal performance. Unfortunately, our bodies are not very efficient at making ATP and often fall short, which is where ribose comes in. Ribose supplements help to replenish ATP stores faster, allowing you to exercise longer and harder.*

Ribose has also been shown to improve heart function. One study showed that ribose supplementation improved ejection fraction (a measure of how well your heart pumps blood) by 16% in people with chronic heart failure.* In addition, ribose has been shown to help reduce arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), chest pain, and fatigue in people with coronary artery disease.*

Lastly, ribose has been shown to improve cognitive function and reduce brain fog. One study showed that people who supplemented with ribose had significantly improved scores on tests measuring attention, mental clarity, and mood compared to those who did not supplement with ribose.* If you have ever felt "brain fog" after a long day or night, ribose may be able to help!

In Summary:

Ribose is a simple sugar that occurs naturally in all living cells and has a variety of health benefits. Ribose supplements can help improve athletic performance by replenishing ATP stores faster.* They can also help improve heart function and reduce arrhythmias, chest pain, and fatigue in people with coronary artery disease.* Additionally, ribose has been shown to improve cognitive function and reduce brain fog. If you are looking for a natural way to improve your health, ribose may be worth considering!
