What is ribose used for?

It is a structural component of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an energy-containing substance that depletes during physical exercise. Supplementation with this product may therefore improve performance by increasing power in short, sharp bouts, and aid recovery.

How quickly does D-ribose work?

Many published studies into ribose supplementation have revealed that taking as little as five grams of D-ribose per day may return cellular levels of ATP to normal after exhaustive exercise within a twenty-two hour period.

What happens if you take too much D-ribose?

If you accidentally take more than the recommended daily dose of  D-ribose, you may experience one of the following side effects:

• Nausea.
• Diarrhoea.
• A headache.
• Stomach pain.
• Low blood sugar.

Who should not take D-ribose?

It is not recommended for diabetics or those individuals at risk of low blood sugar levels. Those with a scheduled operation should avoid this supplement for at least two weeks before surgery.
