D-Ribose is an aldopentose — a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms, and including an aldehyde functional group its linear form.

 

As a component of the RNA that is used for genetic transcription, ribose is critical to living creatures. It is related to deoxyribose, which is a component of DNA. It is also a component of ATP, NADH, and several other chemicals that are critical to metabolism.

 

It is well known that Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is your body's primary energy-carrying molecule. Your body needs ribose to make ATP. ATP levels -- and thus, energy -- drop with intense workouts and heart disease. These, in turn, may lead to fatigue and muscle soreness or stiffness. Individuals with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) also suffer from sore and cramping muscles and low energy.

 

D-Ribose has been shown with positive results, to generate ATP recovery -- leading to improved health and fitness for people with cardiovascular problems, athletes who deplete their energy reserves, and those with fibromyalgia and CFS. Reports have shown d-ribose can even lower blood sugar levels and is also known to alleviate altitude sickness and PMS cramping.

 

Besides above, D Ribose also is a natural anti-anxiety and stress relief ingredient used to control stress-related eating and drinking that has the added value of being non-sedating with potential anti-depressant properties. Ribose is used to generate ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate). In theory, supplementing your diet with additional ribose should increase the rate at which ATP is generated, leading to an improvement in exercise performance and faster muscle growth. ATP is constantly being broken down and "recreated". In the process, it provides energy for every move you make and every chemical reaction that occurs in human body.
