Pure Encapsulations Ribose - Over 150 studies demonstrate
the ability of ribose, a pentose sugar found in all living cells, to
increase adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels and total adenine
nucleotide (TAN) recovery, promoting skeletal and cardiac muscle energy
metabolism. Ribose is the key compound used by the body to form the
nucleotides AMP, ADP and ATP, which are depleted during strenuous
physical activity or from lack of oxygen. Skeletal and cardiac muscle
rely on these metabolites for energy, and two metabolic pathways
preserve these pools. The first mechanism involves salvaging end
products of AMP breakdown, or preventing them from leaving the cell. If
they are salvaged, they may be recycled back to AMP and ultimately to
ATP.
The second mechanism for preserving nucleotide pools is de novo
synthesis, or formation of new nucleotides from ribose. Both of these
crucial activities can only begin when ribose is converted to
5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP). If ribose concentrations are
not sufficient, PRPP is in low supply and muscle cells cannot adequately
recharge. Although the body has the ability to manufacture ribose from
glucose, it is a slow process which requires glucose-6-phosphate
dehydrogenase (G- 6-PDH), an enzyme typically in short supply.
Supplemental ribose allows the body to bypass this step, rapidly
supplying the compounds needed to boost salvage and enhance de novo
synthesis. Research indicates that nucleotides decrease after repeated,
intense exercise and that they may not be recovered for up to several
days, leaving muscle without the ability to refuel energy stores. Ribose
also offers powerful, complementary support to creatine by enhancing TAN
pools, providing the necessary substrates which creatine can then
convert to ATP.
Ribose, taken before, during or after high-intensity exercise,
accelerates replenishment of depleted adenine nucleotide pools, keeping
ATP and TAN levels at their peak, and providing rapid regeneration of
critical energy molecules for maximal training.
