Ribose for more energy and strength

Ribose is a highly-concentrated new fuel for more energy, performance and enhanced regeneration in all sports. Ribose optimizes ATP-production and is therefore the ideal supplement for both endurance athletes and power athletes.

Ribose and its significance for athletes
All muscles of the human body depend on the uninterrupted production of ATP (Adenosinetriphosphate) to perform optimally. It does not matter whether you are an endurance-or power-athlete or a bodybuilder. Nothing happens without ATP. The muscle cells of athletes involved in intense training have an especially hard time producing sufficient amounts of ATP to meet the demands placed on the body. Ribose has the ability to speed up the production of ATP which leads to higher muscular energy and a significant reduction of recovery times.

How does Ribose work?
Intense workouts can reduce the muscle's ATP-levels up to 70% and it can take up to 72 hours for the full regeneration of these levels to occur. This is the reason why athletes need multiple days to recover from strenuous training sessions. Ribose is an ultra-powerful cellular energy source. New studies show that Ribose can speed up the muscle's ATP production by up to 430%. This results in increased performance, power and endurance as well as reduced recovery periods.

Does Ribose stimulate muscle gains?
The crucial factor for rapid muscle gains lies in exceeding one's limitations again and again. This means heavier weights while, whenever possible, sticking to correct technique during exercises. As Ribose provides the muscle with highly concentrated cellular energy in the shape of ATP, it cannot be a surprise that studies have measured strength gains of about 10-15% after only 2 weeks of Ribose supplementation. The fact that protein synthesis requires not only protein but also large amounts of ATP as a source of energy has so far been completely ignored. Ribose significantly contributes to the speedy recovery of depleted ATP levels and thus allows for more rapid activation of protein synthesis after intense workouts. When combined with intense weight training and a diet rich in protein, this can lead to major gains in muscle mass.

How much Ribose is needed?
For maintenance of an optimal ATP-level a minimum dosage of 2 grams of Ribose a day is recommended. This amount should be adjusted to the individual needs of every athlete. Skiers can double or triple the dosage during competitive racing to recover more quickly between the individual events so they are fully charged with energy for optimal performance on the day of the race. Whenever training is extremely intense or the recovery periods should be kept to a bare minimum, the dosage can be increased.

How is Ribose used for optimal results?
The best point of Ribose intake is about 15 minutes before exercise or competitions and as soon as possible after that. Ribose is exceptionally well resorbed by the body. After about an hour the muscles are optimally charged with Ribose and ready for maximum performance. Marathon runners or triathletes who have to perform at maximum levels for a period of multiple hours can take additional dosages of 1 gram each hour during exercise or competition.

The three most potent super-nutrients for optimal muscle energy
Experts recommend the simultaneous intake of Ribose, Creatine and Glutamine as this combination displays an unbeatable synergetic effect on both muscular strength and endurance as well as recovery. These super-nutrients provide for the short-, medium- and long-term release of energy directly inside the muscle and enhance each other's effects.

Both Creatine and Ribose directly increase the production of ATP in the short term. Glutamine aids in glycogen storage and thus increases long-term energy - this is of special importance for endurance athletes. The result is an optimized ATP-level in the muscles which provides the athlete with improved energy, power and performance capacity.
