Corvalen Ribose - 9.9 oz. Douglas Laboratories

An Essential Ingredient
D-Ribose is often called the “energy currency” of your cells. The D-Ribose in Corvalen is a 5-carbon monosaccharide (a carbohydrate that occurs naturally and does not hydrolyze) that is critical to cellular synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), in turn essential for genetic materials, vitamins and more. While every cell in your body can make D-Ribose naturally, the metabolic pathway to make it is slow and limited. When your body experiences metabolic stress, it doesn’t produce D-Ribose. The result is a restriction of important cellular compounds and delays in tissue recovery. Corvalen D-Ribose can help directly to restore and sustain healthy energy pools that are essential to cellular function.

Address Your Fatigue
If you are one of the countless people who suffers from fatigue, you know that even getting out of bed can be difficult some days. You feel exhausted, sore and physically drained, which can be debilitating and can reduce core energy levels dramatically. Energy depletion can lead to fatigue and muscle soreness and stiffness, which, in turn, depletes cellular energy reserves even further. Corvalen D-Ribose helps supply those critical energy reserves that preserve cardiovascular health and wellness. This supplement can support diastolic heart function, increase exercise tolerance and restore oxygen use in some people. It has been shown to regulate syntheses and restore cellular energy. That certainly makes it easier to get out of bed, right?!

No Sugar Worries
D-Ribose is, in fact, a sugar, but it is dramatically different than sugars like glucose, fructose and sucrose. It metabolizes differently, as the body saves ribose for its important work of synthesizing energy functions. So, while other sugars increase blood-glucose levels, can spike insulin secretion and speed fat deposition. Corvalen D-Ribose does not. In fact, in some cases it has been shown to cause a small decrease in blood-sugar levels.

Sports and Fitness
Douglas Laboratories Corvalen D-ribose is indicated for sports and fitness activities because it helps reduce the loss of energy during stress, and studies show that it can accelerate energy and tissue/muscle recovery. Endurance and strength-training athletes can benefit from the effects of supplemental D-ribose.
