Ribose occurs naturally in all living cells.  It's a simple sugar that begins the metabolic process for ATP production.  D-Ribose works synergistically with, and enhances the benefits of, creatine supplements.

D-Ribose is a nutritional supplement that has been around for a long time but has become one of the hottest supplements of late after new research on this very promising product. Ribose is a special carbohydrate that is used in the body for energy production in the cells as it plays a critical role in the production of ATP. ATP is what provides the energy needed for short burst of power movements during physical activity. Ribose is being used to help to strengthen muscles, including the heart, enhancing athletic performance, recovery from physical activity, and to increase energy levels.

During strenuous exercise, large amounts of ATP, the body's primary energy-carrying molecule, can be depleted in heart and skeletal muscle cells. D-Ribose is a simple sugar that is used by the body to synthesize nucleotides, ATP, nucleic acids, and glycogen.

D-ribose was first reported in 1891 by Emil Fischer. It comprises the backbone of RNA, a biopolymer that is the basis of genetic transcription. It is related to deoxyribose, as found in DNA. Once phosphorylated, ribose can become a subunit of ATP, NADH, and several other compounds that are critical to metabolism.
