Charge your batteries from the inside, without stimulants.

If you have chronic fatigue or are a high-intensity athlete, consider adding d-ribose to your supplement regime. Why? Because individuals with chronic fatigue and intense athletes can both benefit from increasing their levels of ATP.

ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) is the power supply inside every cell in the human body and d-ribose is required for its production. When the body has an adequate supply of ATP, one can say their batteries are ‘fully charged’, and when ATP stores are low, their batteries are ‘low’.

Why take D-ribose?

Humans make d-ribose, but in situations where we either use greater amounts of ATP (e.g. intense exercise) or have chronically low levels (e.g. some forms of fatigue), daily intake of d-ribose can be highly beneficial.

Heart doctors may recommend d-ribose for improving ATP levels, and some use it clinically. There are situations in the hospital setting when ATP levels are acutely depleted. Preliminary research has indicated that d-ribose can replenish ATP levels more quickly than the body can itself.

Is it natural?

D-ribose is completely natural. It is similar but different from sucrose, or regular sugar. D-ribose is a 5-carbon carbohydrate molecule; sucrose is a 6-carbon carbohydrate molecule. The difference is how and what they are used for in the body. D-ribose is specifically involved with ATP production and is metabolized quickly*.

Vitamin Research Products offers pure D-ribose, free of fillers, flavors or allergens. A standard serving is 5 grams. It has a pleasant, slightly sweet taste and easily mixes with water or juice.

Recommended Dosage:

1800 — Stir 1 rounded teaspoon into at least 2 ounces of water, juice or other beverage and drink. May be taken 1-3 times per day.

Cautions:

If you are under a physician’s care or taking medication, or if you are pregnant or nursing, consult your healthcare professional before using this product. Servings larger than 5 grams may cause a temporary, dose-dependent lowering of blood sugar. For best results, limit intake to 5 grams per 4 hour period.
