D-ribose: the supplement that gives energy to ailing hearts

Bioenergy Ribose® is the favorite of athletes, from beginners to professionals, but anyone can benefit from it. Ribose is the backbone for critical cellular compounds, including adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the fundamental source of cellular energy. No other compound can replace ribose in form and function. Without ribose, our bodies would quickly run out of energy and lose the ability to generate the components needed for cell repair, rejuvenation and tissue recovery.

100% Pure Ribose from Swanson Health Products provides 750 mg per serving of clinically studied Bioenergy Ribose® – the only FDA GRAS certified ribose on the market. Patent-protected bioenergetic ribose is GMO-free, kosher, halal and strictly certified for purity and quality.

Ribose is one of the most important cardiac nutrients, the only one of the "magnificent 4" involved in the de novo synthesis of ATP. Dubbed by Dr. Sinatra the "Sugar of Life", D-ribose is a simple carbohydrate that is part of ATP and is necessary for the rapid renewal of energy in diseased hearts.


There is no doubt that any patient suffering from heart disease is energetically depleted. Taking a ribose supplement is a scientifically proven solution for patients with cardiovascular disease. Since the positive effect is well-founded in the medical literature, in the USA, ribose therapy has been included in the treatment protocols of some hospitals.


D-Ribose is a constituent element of DNA and RNA macromolecules, being used by all body cells in the process of cellular energy (ATP) production. D-Ribose supplementation is often recommended as a treatment for people diagnosed with fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome.


A study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine [6] concluded that D-Ribose supplementation significantly improved symptoms of these conditions, including: increased energy levels, improved sleep quality, improved mental clarity, decreased pain intensity, and improved general well-being .





 

Ribose can be administered for a wide range of cardiovascular conditions:

 

• coronary artery disease;
• angina pectoris;
• protection of the myocardium before invasive (bypass) or minimally invasive (angiography) surgical interventions;
• recovering from heart surgery or serious heart conditions such as heart attack;
• congestive heart failure and cardiac hypertrophy to support diastolic function;
• atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.

 

Cellular balance in performance sport

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the cell's energy store because it helps store and convert cellular energy according to metabolic needs.

D-Ribose supplementation is often recommended to performance athletes to improve endurance and increase energy levels in the body. A study published in the American Journal of Physiology [7] showed that after periods of intense physical exercise, D-Ribose supplementation is very helpful in restoring ATP stores in muscle cells.

In addition to cardiovascular diseases, age is also a factor in reducing ribose synthesis. That's why people over 45 should take metabolic energy booster supplements like D-ribose. Sufferers of high blood pressure, those who follow statin treatments, those with mitral valve prolapse benefit from the positive effects of ribose supplements. They help the heart to normalize its diastolic function by increasing energy reserves.



 

Suggested Use: 

As a dietary supplement, take one veggie capsule one to two times per day with water. For maximum energy level to be achieved, take up to three veggie capsules three times per day.
