New Roots Herbal D‑Ribose is a five-carbon sugar found within all human cells. It forms the backbone of ribonucleic acid, a complex molecule that is critical for gene expression, and is the currency for energy production at the cellular level. ᴅ‑Ribose is the rate-limiting substance that enables our bodies to respond to increased energy demands. ᴅ‑Ribose also helps restore energy levels to speed up recovery time following periods of stress and exertion. ATP production within the mitochondria benefits from ᴅ ribose supplementation in two ways: ATP production from scratch can be increased up to 400%, and the more efficient recycling or salvaging method can increase it up to 700%.
ᴅ‑Ribose in supplemental form is absorbed at a rate of up to 95% to support increased metabolic demands, reduce exercise recovery time, and support heart function in times of need. ᴅ‑Ribose is an essential component of base metabolic pathways required to produce energy at the cellular level. ᴅ‑Ribose provides fuel for muscle fibre, including the myocardium—which can’t afford to fail!

| ᴅ‑Ribose (100% pure) | 5 g |
Adults: Take 1 teaspoon once or twice daily or as directed by your health-care practitioner. We recommend weighing D-Ribose for precise dosage.
