Studies tout the energy boost D-ribose provides people suffering from fibromyalgia.
D-ribose, also called ribose or Beta-D-ribofuranose, is a type of sugar that your body produces naturally.
- D-ribose increases the energy to all of the cells of the body, especially the muscle cells. Supplementing with D-ribose can provide your heart with the energy boost that it needs.
- D-ribose commonly comes in capsule or powdered form. The powdered form is preferred as you can add it to your morning drink.
- The recommended starting dose is 2500 mg. Increase by 2500 mg every few weeks to reach a maximum dose of 10,000 mg.
- Even though ribose is a “sugar” it will not raise blood glucose levels. Higher doses than 10,000 mg can cause diarrheal symptoms in some people.
