Ribose is a simple five carbon sugar that is an essential component of important of biological molecules called nucleotides, which are used to make ATP ( energy currency of the cell ) and the genetic material, RNA and DNA. The use of D-Ribose is gaining popularity among cardiologists as a way to optimise heart energy production and improve recovery after cardiac events or surgery. Recovery from general exercise is also affected by the availability of ATP, the addition of D-Ribose to the body assists in reducing post-exercise fatigue and muscle soreness by recycling ATP. Its major use at the moment appears to be supportive of normal muscular energy production in those with fibromylagia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
