Ribose - The Natural Sugar That Keeps You Energized

Did you know that 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 closer look at how ribose works and how it can benefit your health.

What is Ribose?

Ribose is a pentose (five-carbon) sugar that occurs naturally in all living cells. It is synthesized from glucose by enzymes called aldolases and oxidases. Ribose is an important component of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of RNA and DNA.

Ribose is also the structural backbone of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the primary source of energy for all cellular processes. ATP is essential for muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and chemical reactions in the body. Consequently, demand for ATP availability is especially critical in the heart and skeletal muscle.

Ribose Supplementation and Athletic Performance

Ribose supplementation can help to maintain optimal energy levels in these tissues.* A study published in The Journal of Applied Physiology examined the effects of ribose on adenosine triphosphate (ATP) resynthesis and muscular soreness following high-intensity exercise.* In this study, 14 healthy males completing four bouts of high-intensity cycling separated by two minutes of easy cycling. Muscle biopsies were taken before and after exercise to measure ATP resynthesis rates. The participants supplemented with either ribose or placebo for five days leading up to exercise and for three days following exercise. Results showed that participants who supplemented with ribose had significantly higher rates of ATP resynthesis than those who supplemented with placebo.* Furthermore, participants who supplemented with ribose also had significantly less muscular soreness following exercise than those who supplemented with placebo.* These findings suggest that ribose supplementation may help athletes to recover from high-intensity exercise more quickly by supporting optimal ATP levels in skeletal muscle.*

In Summary:

Ribose is a natural sugar that plays an important role in cellular energy production.* Supplementing with ribose has been shown to support optimal ATP levels in skeletal muscle, which may help athletes to recover from high-intensity exercise more quickly.* If you are looking for a natural way to support your energy levels, consider adding a ribose supplement to your daily routine.

Suggested Usage: Take 2-6 capsules daily, prior to exercise.

Store in a cool, dry, dark place after opening.
