D-Ribose

Charge your batteries from the inside, without stimulants.*

If you have experience fatigue or are a high-intensity athlete, consider adding d-ribose to your supplement regime. Why? Because individuals who experience fatigue and intense athletes can both benefit from increasing their levels of ATP.*

ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) is the power supply inside every cell in the human body and d-ribose is required for its production. When the body has an adequate supply of ATP, one can say his or her batteries are ‘fully charged’, and when ATP stores are low, the batteries are ‘low’.*

Why take D-ribose?

Humans make d-ribose, but in situations where we either use greater amounts of ATP (e.g. intense exercise) or have low levels (e.g. fatigue), daily intake of d-ribose can be highly beneficial.*

Heart doctors may recommend d-ribose for improving ATP levels, and some use it clinically. Preliminary research has indicated that d-ribose can replenish ATP levels more quickly than the body can itself.*

Is it natural?

D-ribose is completely natural. It is similar but different from sucrose, or regular sugar. D-ribose is a 5-carbon carbohydrate molecule; sucrose is a 6-carbon carbohydrate molecule. The difference is how and what they are used for in the body. D-ribose is specifically involved with ATP production and is metabolized quickly*.

We offer pure D-ribose, free of fillers, flavors or allergens. A standard serving is 5 grams. It has a pleasant, slightly sweet taste and easily mixes with water or juice.

Recommended Dosage:

1800 — For maintenance, take 1-3 servings per day, or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner. During intense training, athletes take up to 4 servings a day. D-ribose can be taken during or after high-intensity or endurance exercise. It is not recommended to take more than 5 grams at one time, or more than 5 grams within a 2-hour time period.

Cautions:

If you are under a physician’s care or taking medication, or if you are pregnant or nursing, consult your healthcare professional before using this product. Servings larger than 5 grams may cause a temporary, dose-dependent lowering of blood sugar. For best results, limit intake to 5 grams per 4 hour period.
