New Roots Herbal D-Ribose is a five-carbon sugar found within all human cells. It forms the backbone of ribonucleic acid, a complex molecule that is critical for gene expression, and is the currency for energy production at the cellular level. ᴅ-Ribose is the rate-limiting substance that enables our bodies to respond to increased energy demands. ᴅ-Ribose also helps restore energy levels to speed up recovery time following periods of stress and exertion. ATP production within the mitochondria benefits from ᴅ ribose supplementation in two ways: ATP production from scratch can be increased up to 400%, and the more efficient recycling or salvaging method can increase it up to 700%.
ᴅ-Ribose in supplemental form is absorbed at a rate of up to 95% to support increased metabolic demands, reduce exercise recovery time, and support heart function in times of need. ᴅ-Ribose is an essential component of base metabolic pathways required to produce energy at the cellular level. ᴅ-Ribose provides fuel for muscle fibre, including the myocardium—which can’t afford to fail!
