Doctor's Best D-Ribose 850mg 120 Capsules
Ribose is an essential pentose (5-carbon) sugar utilized by the body to synthesize DNA, RNA and produce energy. 
Ribose is a fundamental building block of adenosine triphosphate (ATP – the substance in which the body stores intracellular energy), the preferential source of energy for skeletal muscle and heart tissue. 
Without ribose, ATP could not be formed and our cells would be energy deprived.(Ribose is a 'sugar' distinct from glucose. 
It does not raise blood sugar levels or lead to diabetes.)
Studies have shown that ribose supplementation may enhance cardiac energy levels and support cardiovascular metabolism. 
Further studies suggest that ribose plays a role in supporting energy recovery after exercise. 
Exercise increases free radical production in muscle tissue. 
Ribose may strengthen and support the body’s crucial antioxidant defenses.
Benefits:
Essential building block for ATP (preferential form of energy for heart and muscle tissue)
Supports energy levels in heart and muscle tissue
Helps maintain normal heart function
Decreases free radical formation during exercise
Support for heart conditions, fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue
Highly beneficial for athletes and seniors
BioEnergy® Ribose is a patented ingredient proven to restore and sustain energy
Supports normal heart and muscle function:
Support for ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure and muscle disease such as fibromyalgia – these conditions force the affected heart and muscle to consume energy more quickly than it can be restored. 
Supplying the affected tissue with ribose stimulates the process of energy recovery and helps heart and muscle refill their ‘energy tanks’.
Ageing:
As ageing occurs the muscles lose energy recycling efficiency - ageing muscle generally has fewer mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell) than younger muscle. 
The muscles then run out of energy with exertion, becoming stiff and sore after only mild exercise.
High active lifestyles:
Athletes or anyone doing high-intensity exercising will drain energy from heart and muscles. 
Taking ribose before, during and after exercise can help maintain energy levels.
Help strengthen antioxidant defences:
Intense exercise and other strenuous activity can induce free radicals. 
By taking ribose this may help attenuate some of the effects of oxidation.
Highlights:
Supports energy levels in heart and muscle tissue  
Decreases free radical formation during exercise
Highly beneficial for athletes and seniors
