| D-Ribose Ribose, a unique, 5-carbon sugar that occurs
naturally in all living cells forms the carbohydrate portion of DNA and RNA, the building
blocks of life. Ribose is also the sugar that begins the metabolic process for production
of adenosine triphosphate (or ATP). ATP is the major source of energy used by cells
including muscle tissue for normal function.
Intense exercise causes a significant
decrease in skeletal muscle energy levels. In fact, it can take 3 days or longer for these
energy levels to recover! Recent studies show, however, that supplementing with high
quality ribose hastens energy recovery in all types of skeletal muscles. This means you'll
be able to work out longer and build muscle faster because you will recover quicker from
intense workouts, having the energy to do more!
Over the past 25 years, research has shown
that ribose enhances energy recovery in cardiac muscle (heart tissue) after periods of
restricted blood flow. Rigorous testing in both animal and human studies have demonstrated
that supplementation of ribose restores intracellular energy levels in the cardiac muscle
tissue and helps maintain healthy heart function.
Ribose is research proven to help increase
muscular energy, boost endurance, and promote recovery! It's a powerful cellular energy
source that is naturally occurring and found in all cells in the body. It's an efficient
way to improve your energy levels for working out through its participation in the
synthesis of ATP in the muscle cell, enhancing performance, and aiding in the recovery of
muscle tissue after intense exercise. |
