D-Ribose
D-Ribose is a naturally occurring five-carbon sugar found in all living cells. It is a building block of nucleic acids, which are the building blocks for DNA and RNA. It is also a precursor for adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the ‘molecular currency’ of cellular energy, providing energy for every movement and chemical reaction made by the body.
D-Ribose has been studied in heart failure, fibromyalgia and exercise performance to improve muscle energy production. It is also a precursor for adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the ‘molecular currency’ of cellular energy, providing energy for every movement and chemical reaction made by the body.

Ingredient Benefits
Provides cellular energy
There can be many reasons for a reduction in intracellular energy including stress, exercise, mitochondrial dysfunction or genetic disorders. D-ribose provides the base material needed to produce energy in the cell.
May increase exercise performance
Taking D-ribose can help maintain energy in the cells and supplementation has been shown to reduce muscle soreness and improve recovery after exercise.
Supports muscle function
D-Ribose feeds the mitochondria in your muscle cells which then increases energy production. This sugar molecule aids in replenishing energy in muscles.
AOR developed D-Ribose in 1998 which was a world’s first. The formulators read an article in the Scientific American back in Dec. 1990 which talked about how this five-carbon sugar prevented secondary heart attacks in dogs. They thought about its application as a natural health product for heart health in humans.
Recently the ribose metabolism and links to increased robosylation leading to the formation of AGES is being investigated. There is a concern related to diabetic patients since they also suffer from D-ribose metabolism and may be more prone to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk. Thus, it is imperative that the pathogenesis and the pathways involved in AD progression are explored in the light of ribosylation and AGEs formation for identifying suitable diagnostic markers for early diagnosis or finding promising therapeutic outcomes.
