What is Bioenergy Ribose®?
Bioenergy Ribose® is the only patented brand of Ribose – a unique five carbon sugar that facilitates the natural process of energy production. Bioenergy Ribose® stimulates the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the essential energy compound found in every cell in the body, improving energy levels, fighting fatigue and boosting cardiovascular functioning.  While the body naturally produces ribose, physical stress can deplete the body's natural stores, and the body's process for replenishing ribose is very slow in muscle and cardiac tissue. Using a supplement that contains Bioenergy Ribose® may help prevent the aches and soreness associated with depleted energy stores, allowing athletes and active individuals to train harder and longer.

Bioenergy Ribose® is GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) and is affirmed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by the issuance of a "no questions letter".
