What is D-Ribose? D-Ribose is a simple sugar that has been shown in many studies to be helpful for producing ATP in cardiac patients. It is this ATP production that makes this supplement useful. Damaged muscles can in essence be revived with the ATP produced with D-Ribose.
In one study, one group of healthy animals were given supplemental D-ribose and another group of healthy animals was not. Both groups were then subject to experimental ischemia, where blood flow was restricted to their heart muscles. Those given the D-ribose lasted 25% longer before irreversible injury occurred. The muscles were found to have elevated levels of glycogen. In the same experiment they looked at hypertensive rats and performed the same experiment. In this experiment it was found that those who received the D-ribose supplement experienced improved ventricular function of up to 25%. This means that the heart was able to pump blood more effectively. D-ribose has also been shown to improve postischemic recovery of muscle function and energy stores. This means that those recovering from heart surgery can benefit from faster and more complete recovery.
