Research on Ribose
and Energy Recovery in Athletes
Intense exercise causes a significant decrease in skeletal muscle energy
levels. In fact, it can take 3 days or longer for these energy levels to
recover! Recent studies show, however, that supplementing with high
quality ribose hastens energy recovery in all types of skeletal muscles.
This means you'll be able to work out longer and build muscle faster
because you will recover quicker from intense workouts, having the
energy to do more!
Research on Ribose in Cardiovascular Health
Over the past 25 years, research has shown that ribose enhances energy
recovery in cardiac muscle (heart tissue) after periods of restricted
blood flow. Many things can cause restricted blood flow, such as
coronary heart disease, heart attack, heart surgery, or organ
transplantation. Under these circumstances, the heart's functioning may
be compromised and their is risk of permanet loss of heart tissue.
Rigorous testing in both animal and human studies have demonstrated that
supplementation of ribose restores intracellular energy levels in the
cardiac muscle tissue and improves heart function.
How can Ribose Help the Serious athlete?
Ribose is research proven to help increase muscular energy, boost
endurance, and promote recovery! It's a powerful cellular energy source
that is naturally occurring and found in all cells in the body. It's an
efficient way to improve your energy levels for working out through its
participation in the synthesis of ATP in the muscle cell, enhancing
performance, and aiding in the recovery of muscle tissue after intense
exercise.
