Sally T. D-Ribose Powder Energy Booster 150g

With over 40 years of research and development, the Sally T. brand has always strived for excellence in all aspects of wellness.

D-Ribose is a naturally occurring sugar (monosaccharide -5-carbon sugar) in the body and is regularly produced by different cells such as liver, adrenal glands, and fat cells. It is produced in that cell for that cell only. By adding D-Ribose as a supplement, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) energy manufacture is enhanced in the manufacturing cells, preventing fatigue and weak functioning. This in turn, should help increase performance and bodily functions.

Tissues that mostly rely on aerobic energy metabolism such as the heart and muscles are affected by energy drain (ATP drain) – which means they are severely affected by any amount of energy deprivation. D-Ribose supplementation can be the solution to this lack of energy. The energy can be restored sometimes in a few hours. If there is oxygen starvation in skeletal or heart muscles, energy levels and heart function return to normal more quickly.

How it works:

Our bodies function on cellular energy. This energy is generated in our cells by an organelle called the mitochondria.

Mitochondria produce 99% of energy (ATP) they are known as the cellular powerhouses for cellular energy production. D-Ribose is essential for this functionality.

D-Ribose enhances cellular energy production by increasing ATP regeneration

Supplementing with D-Ribose has been shown to improve cellular energy production.

D-Ribose can have positive benefits for athletes, chronic fatigue, adrenal fatigue, and cardiac weakness.

D-Ribose Powder is the most common and bio-available form with 97% absorption rate.

Suggested Uses:

States of low energy such as adrenal fatigue, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome. D-Ribose can assist in restoring energy.

Sufferers of arterial and heart disease who chronically have difficulty delivering oxygen to their tissues. In these cases, a higher, regular dose must be taken. Studies show that D-Ribose supplementation reduces the energy drain experienced without having any negative effect or impact on the action of common heart drugs. Positive effects have been shown when recovering from heart surgery & heart attacks, waiting for heart transplants.

The aged experience a decline in cellular energy generating capacity, evident in many pathologies. Supplementation with D-Ribose can assist.

Athletes: Both trained and untrained individuals may both benefit by using D-Ribose.

It can be helpful to those for energy maintenance or those who exert high-intensity exercise, as well as for people who have strenuous activities in their routine. Skeletal muscle energy system (ATP) levels are severely depleted during and following prolonged high intensity exercise. Recovery from these lower ATP levels can take days, which can affect performance on subsequent days of exercise. Timing and dosage of the D-Ribose is specific to the individual and relates to the intensity of exercise. It can be used before during and after exercise.

Trained individuals may be able to recover more quickly due to their enhanced metabolic systems D-Ribose has still been shown to enhance the recovery of their energy levels.

Untrained individuals generally do not have the ability to perform or recovery quickly enough so as to exercise more frequently benefit from D-Ribose supplementation.

High intensity, anaerobic exercise also decreases muscular energy (ATP) levels and D-Ribose will assist in restoring energy levels in all these exercise modalities.

Co-factors such as L-Carnitine, Co-Enzyme Q10, and Alpha Lipoic acid, all of which enhances energy production, should be included as part of the regiment as they synergistically help D-Ribose in its energy generating pathway.

D-Ribose Dosages:

There is no standard recommended dosage of D-Ribose.

Based on scientific studies, alternative health practitioners recommend between 2.5 grams (1 level 5ml teaspoon) and 30 grams a day to support chronic health conditions.

It is very important to take this nutrient along with food, as reactive hypoglycaemia (blood sugar dive) may result if taken on empty stomach.

Athletes:

In general, as a workout enhancer, 5 ml a day is the common dose which can be increased to 15mls depending on performance.

Fatigued adults:

Take one 5ml teaspoon mixed into 250ml water, one to three times daily, with meals.

Heart Disease:

Use under medical supervision

Heart or peripheral disease: Start at the lowest dose of 1 teaspoon per day with a meal and increase dose if needed.

Side effects and precautions:

Keep out of reach of children.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have a medical condition, consult your healthcare practitioner before use.

When not taken with meals, it can cause some side effects including diarrhoea, stomach discomfort, nausea, headache, and low blood sugar.

Because it can lower blood sugar, caution is advised for diabetics. It is not recommended for diabetics who are on medications that lower their blood sugars.

D-Ribose is generally considered safe for short-term use. There is not enough reliable information to know if D-Ribose is safe to use for longer than 3 weeks.

If renal dysfunction is present, check with your medical practitioner for long term use.
