History and Usage:

Jarrow Formula’s Ribose is a potent ribose supplement designed to aid in muscle recovery and endurance . When a person undergoes severe physical stress, it results in the increased loss of nucleotides such as ATP, ADP and AMP from his/her skeletal and heart muscles. A natural carbohydrate which is found in all cells of the human body, ribose, undergoes metabolism to become 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP), a rate-limiting substrate which is used by the body to synthesize nucleotides, thus compensating for nucleotide loss. This process improves energy generation and stamina of the body. Ribose propels muscle recovery at a significant rate with remarkable consistency and is a recommended product from Jarrow Formulas.
