Red meat, particularly veal, contains the highest dietary concentration of D-ribose, but not significant enough to provide any meaningful nutritional support, especially to unwell individuals.
What’s worse: heart, skeletal muscle, brain, and nerve tissue can only make enough D-ribose to manage their day-to-day needs when their cells are not stressed.
Unfortunately, these cells lack the metabolic machinery to make D-ribose quickly.
When oxygen or blood flow deficits are chronic, as in heart disease, tissues can never make enough D-ribose to keep up with demand.
But the benefit of D-ribose is clear… In their book Reverse Heart Disease Now, Drs. Stephen Sinatra and James Roberts report how they use D-ribose in their practice to help patients suffering from coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, peripheral arterial disease, and more.[2]
As they introduced D-ribose (and several other compounds) into their patient care protocols, they noticed an astonishing result: hospital admissions for their heart patients dropped dramatically.
It’s not just about heart disease though.
For example, fibromyalgia patients are chronically fatigued and subject to muscle pain, soreness, and stiffness that can be associated with depleted cellular energy reserves.
It has emerged that patients with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome may have faulty ATP metabolism, so it makes perfect sense to use D-ribose to help them.[3]
It’s clear that adding D-ribose was a no-brainer when it came to creating the ultimate mitochondria energy booster!
But there are several other ingredients that play a vital role in this new supplement.
That brings us to…
