D-ribose is a sugar - but not all sugars are bad. According to some studies, D-ribose appears to be one of the types of sugar that have health benefits, such as D-galactose and D-mannose, both of which have become known because they can even be used therapeutically.
Chemically speaking, D-ribose is a natural sugar found in almost all living organisms. Thus, D-ribose is an important element in the biochemistry of the human body. It is a component of RNA (ribonucleic acid) building blocks. The key role that D-ribose plays in the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy source for all cellular processes, is of particular interest to sports and fitness enthusiasts. Everyone needs D-ribose; it is an essential ingredient to stimulate natural energy production.
D-ribose is a basic building block of life on earth. In 2019, the discovery of D-ribose in a meteorite has drawn special scientific attention to the question of the origin of life on our planet. Other important building blocks for the origin of life, including amino acids (components of proteins) and nucleobases (components of DNA and RNA), have already been found in meteorites. However, sugars were previously missing among the most important building blocks, making the discovery of D-ribose the first direct evidence of the presence of ribose in space and its transfer to Earth. The extraterrestrial sugar may have contributed to the formation of RNA on prebiotic Earth and possibly led to the emergence of life.
Unlike chemically synthesized ribose, which often contains L-ribose, which is rarely found in nature, EnergyBalance's ribose powder is composed of 100 percent natural D-ribose. D-ribose is obtained from an exclusively plant-based source through the fermentation of glucose. Microorganisms use the same metabolic pathway as we humans do: the pentose phosphate pathway. For this reason, only D-ribose is produced and not L-ribose, which is unusable by organisms. No animal components such as gelatin, hair or feathers are used in the production process, and only renewable raw materials are used.
EnergyBalance's D-ribose powder has a purity level of >98.0% and is 100% vegan. The natural D-form of ribose is tolerated even by people with fructose intolerance.
Dosage
Dissolve 1 scoop* (7 g) of D-ribose in 1 glass of water (250 ml) 1 to 2 times daily and drink.
*The measuring cup is included in the package.
