Ribose is relatively new on the supplement market and its initial popularity was with athletes, bodybuilders in particular. By aiding in the production of ATP, ribose gives bodybuilders and athletes a boost of energy for their workouts without the later sluggishness that comes from caffeine and sugar.
Ribose, however, is considered to have other benefits as well. Here is a list of the benefits associated with ribose.
* Aids in rejuvenation of cardiac tissue
* Improves blood flow through heart
* Increases energy production
* Increases heart function
While ribose is still under scrutiny, it has been shown to have the above positive health effects. The amount to which ribose contributes to the above health benefits is still to be determined.
Ribose benefits athletes also by improving the recovery time of the body’s skeletal muscle. After an intense exercise session, ribose can be used to relieve soreness, stiffness and fatigue. Not only does this help with some of the less likeable side effects of intense exercise, but the quicker recovery time allows you to get back into the gym quicker and make greater gains.
