Healthy Origins D-ribose powder 300g

Riboe is a specific carbohydrate as it is not metabolized like, for example sugar, although it has a similar structure. It is an aldopentose, which means that the monosaharid or sugar is made up of five carbon atoms. It’s very similar to the Deoxyribose that is in the DNA.

It was first described by Emil Fischer in 1891.

Ribose is found in two forms D and L. While D occurs frequently in nature, the L form is only synthetic. The Healthy Origins Ribose contains only the natural, D-shaped form.

In the body, D-ribose is subjected to phosphorilation that forms ATP and NADH, which are important factors of energy in the body. ATP is the ultimate form of energy that the body can actually use without further conversion. You could say that ATP is the energy currency of the body.

NADH, on the other hand, participates in the Krebs cycle and the respiratory chain, which produce the most of ATP in the body.

Because of its structure, energy can also be formed in cells that have a weakened energy generation, such as damage to the organs, the lack of oxygen, etc.

The absorption of D-ribose in the small intestine ranges from 88 to 100%, which means that you will take full advantage of it. The dust is neutrally and mildly sweet and dissolves well in water.
