Doctors Best - D-Ribose with BioEnergy Ribose 850mg VegeCaps 120
Ribose is a five-carbon sugar the body uses to build DNA and RNA and to produce energy. It is a fundamental building block of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy source that skeletal muscle and heart tissue draw on — without ribose, ATP cannot be formed. Unlike glucose, ribose does not raise blood sugar levels.
Studies have looked at ribose supplementation and found that it can enhance cardiac energy levels and support cardiovascular metabolism, and that it plays a role in supporting muscle energy recovery after exercise. Exercise increases free radical production in muscle tissue, and ribose may support the body's antioxidant defences. This product uses BioEnergy Ribose, a patented ingredient.
Benefits
- Helps enhance ATP energy production — ATP is the preferential form of energy for heart and muscle tissue
- Helps support energy production in heart and muscle
- Helps promote muscle recovery following exercise
- Helps decrease free radical production during exercise
Ageing. As we age the muscles lose energy recycling efficiency, and 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.
Active lifestyles. Athletes and anyone doing high-intensity exercise drain energy from heart and muscle. Taking ribose before, during and after exercise can help maintain energy levels.
