D-Ribose

D-Ribose is a naturally occurring pentose (5-Carbon) sugar, which is a primary building block in the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) - the body’s main energy source.

ATP is critical to health and a healthy lifestyle. Ribose is an essential component of making ATP in the body.

What is the function of ATP in the cell? Our bodies produce ribose from glucose and use it uniquely for the revitalization of the molecule ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), the chemical form of energy. Unlike glucose, it does not have an impact on blood sugar levels. Unfortu- nately, due to our diet, the body can not store enough ribose to maintain the optimal levels of ATP required to prevent deterioration of our cells and tissues. Stress also affects the depletion of ribose - more stress leads to decreased amounts of ribose when the body can not make the nutrient fast enough. This could also occur after strenuous exercise - the muscles become fatigued which could result in a significant loss of ATP. Taking D-Ribose may help replenish depressed levels of ATP, and improve work- out recovery. *
