D-Ribose Powder
Ribose Complex contains important amino acids to support energy and endurance. D-Ribose is a sugar different from others; it doesn’t affect blood sugar but is utilized as a very quick source of energy for muscles. Acetyl-L-Carnitine supports cellular energy, while Malic Acid and CoQ10 support the respiratory cycle used to convert calories and oxygen into energy. Bromelain, Protease, and Calcium support muscle comfort, while DMG supports oxygenation of muscle tissue and may improve physical performance.†

The Science Behind The Ingredients In Ribose Complex
Research from Advances in Bioscience and Clinical Medicine states how D-ribose supplementation helps to produce cellular energy in humans. D-ribose is a naturally occurring monosaccharide found in the cells and especially in the mitochondria is essential in energy production. Without sufficient energy, cells cannot maintain integrity and function. Supplemental D-ribose has been shown to improve cellular processes when there is mitochondrial dysfunction. When individuals take supplemental D-ribose, it can bypass part of the pentose pathway to produce D-ribose-5-phosphate for the production of energy. [1]
A study published in Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews found that supplementation with Acetyl-L-Carnitine has supportive health benefits in aging humans. This includes restoration of mitochondria and function. Impaired mitochondrial function not only affects energy production, but also increases the production of reactive oxygen species. This accelerates the aging process. Alcar is considered to be one supportive agent which helps the body slow the aging process by targeting mitochondrial defects. Acetyl-L-carnitine supplementation has been shown to help reduce oxidative stress and mitochondrial changes helping to support brain health during the aging process. The cellular health supportive effects of Alcar are most likely due to a decrease in oxidative stress. [2]
Research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine explains that Malic acid supplementation was found to promote aerobic energy in humans as well as help to maintain a healthy acid-base balance, blood ammonia levels and amino acid levels. [3]
Research published in Photochemistry and Photobiology explains how supplementing with CoQ10 can help to regenerate ATP and help to protect and support the health of the cells and the skin after damage from UV light from the sun. The regeneration of the ATP level was achieved by a preservation of mitochondrial function by the addition of CoQ10 and the protective effect of CoQ10 is because of its anti-oxidative function. It has been hypothesized that it might be further dependent on a stimulation of DNA repair enzymes by CoQ10. [4]
Research published in BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies states that supplementation with Rhodiola helped the participants with endurance and mental fatigue from stress and burnout. This was witnessed with significantly lower levels of oxidative stress and salivary cortisol levels were measure after supplementation. [5]
