Ribose
Could a natural sugar cure achiness and increase your energy?
Ribose is a natural sugar this is made by the body from glucose to
aid in renewing energy. Ribose is essential to the creation of
adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, which stores and sends energy to the
cells of the body. Ribose is found in ribonucleic acid, or RNA,
which carries information to the body.
Our body fails to produce enough ribose as we age causing us to feel
tired and ache.
Ribose makes energy compounds in cell and helps your body recover
from fatigue. And, ribose aids tissue in utilizing oxygen which
increases healing in sore muscles.
Ribose supplements have been
shown to boost energy levels and reduce aches. This is a major
discovery for sufferers of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Patients who suffer from congestive heart failure have shown
improvement by increasing their levels of ATP.
While ribose is a sugar, our bodies do not recognize ribose as a
fuel. This means that although it is sweet, it has no calories.
Side effects of ribose supplementation are slight and include
lightheadedness and mild diarrhea. No more than 5 grams three
times a day should be ingested. |
