Are you looking for that long lost energy that could keep you going all day and well into the evening? Or are you looking for that athletic edge? D-Ribose might  be exactly what you need. D-what? HEY discovered D-Ribose when doing some research on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). It turns out many people who have CFS also benefit from D-Ribose. So what is D-Ribose (also referred to as Ribose). Ribose is a carbohydrate or simple sugar made by our bodies using the food we eat. Ribose acts as fuel for our cells and powers our muscles, including our heart muscle. According to Dr. Teitelbaum, author of From Fatigued to Fantastic: 
A key molecule, called adenosine triphosphate (or ATP for short), is known as the energy currency of the cell because the amount of ATP we have in our tissues determines whether we will be fatigued, or will have the energy we need to live vital, active lives. Ribose provides the key building block of ATP, and the presence of ribose in the cell stimulates the metabolic pathway our bodies use to actually make this vital compound. If the cell does not have enough ribose, it cannot make ATP. So, when cells and tissues become energy starved, the availability of ribose is critical to energy recovery.
Low ATP results in:
  • Fatigue
  • Exhaustion
  • Slow muscle recovery (after injury or overuse) this includes our heart muscle
  • Decreased athletic performance and endurance

According to research studies, Ribose supplementation can increase ATP levels thereby: 
  • Improving heart muscle function for cardiac patients
  • Decreasing pain and fatigue in fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue in chronic Lyme patients
  • Improving athletic endurance and performance by improving skeletal muscle energy

​What does this mean for you? Whether you have a chronic medical condition that causes fatigue, sore muscles, pain, or if you just want to get more out of life and your next visit to the gym, Ribose may be just what the doctor ordered. The recommended dosage for D-Ribose is a scoop (approx 1-2 teaspoons). Many people report not needing that high of a dose to get results. Remember each person response to supplements and treatments differently. Always start with a very low dose when adding something new to your routine. 

As always, please consult your doctor before changing your current diet, exercise, or supplementation program.
