Description: D-Ribose a naturally occurring sugar (monosaccharide) in the body and is regularly produced by different cells in tissues of the liver, adrenal glands, and fat. Its production is locked into the immediate cells and cannot be shared with other tissue cells. It is produced in that cell for that cell only. Adding D-Ribose boosts ATP (adenosine triphosphate) energy manufacture in the manufacturing cells, preventing fatigue and weak functioning. This should increase performance and bodily functions. Tissues that mostly rely on aerobic energy metabolism such as the heart and muscles are affected by energy drain (ATP drain). D-Ribose supplementation can, can in a few hours restore energy reserves. It can have positive benefits for athletes, sufferers of chronic fatigue, adrenal fatigue, and cardiac weakness. The most common and bio-available form is the powder form. It is easily absorbed by the body as about 97% gets through. Co-factors such as L-Carnitine, Co-Enzyme Q10, and Alpha Lipoic acid, all of which enhances energy production, should be included as part of the regiment as they synergistically help D-Ribose in its energy generating pathway.
Dosages: Alternative health practitioners recommend between 2.5 grams (1 level 5ml teaspoon) and 30 grams a day to support chronic health conditions. Take D-ribose with food, as reactive hypoglycemia (blood sugar dive) may result if taken on empty stomach. For athletes, as a workout enhancer, 5 ml - 15mls / day is the common dose. Fatigued adults: take one 5ml teaspoon in 250ml water, 1-3 times/day, with meals.
