D-Ribose

D-ribose is a simple, five-carbon sugar that is found naturally in our bodies. But ribose is not like any other sugar. Other sugars are used by the body as fuel, where they are "burned" by the body to recycle energy. But because they are used excessively, they are toxic. However, the body treats ribose differently and preserves it for the vital work of actually making the energy molecule that powers our hearts, muscles, brains, and every other tissue in the body.

Research has repeatedly shown that giving ribose to energy deficient hearts and muscles stimulates energy recovery. Two studies done by our research center showed that ribose increased energy an average of 61% in just 3 weeks.

It looks and tastes like sugar. The recommended dose is 1 scoop (5 grams) 3x a day for 3 weeks and then 2x a day thereafter. Give it 3 weeks to work. It can be added to any food or liquid.

In the U.S., any brand of ribose powder is OK (get the powder instead of taking 30 capsules a day). Outside the U.S. there has been a major problem with quality control and only the S.H.I.N.E. D-Ribose and Corvalen brands (by Bioenergy) should be used. You can buy this item online below.
