Ribose is an organic chemical compound, a sugar with five carbon atoms and a slightly sweet taste. It is highly soluble in water. It occurs naturally in the nucleosides and nucleotides bound to RNA and the cellular energy molecule ATP. It is also present in coenzyme A, vitamins B2, and B12. Repeatedly tested, it is a highly safe substance.

Studies have shown that D-ribose can play an inhibitory role in the degradation of adenine nucleotides. This impacts the subsequent formation of xanthine and uric acid compounds and thus influences the release of superoxide anion radicals. These free oxygen radicals damage genetic material, proteins, and lipids within the cell. Combining D-ribose with reducing antioxidants can ensure optimal cell protection during and after oxidative stress. [1]

Interestingly, the effects of D-ribose have also been studied in patients with fibromyalgia, a condition that causes muscle soreness and fatigue. Published results show a positive effect of this sugar on clinical symptoms, including a reduction in muscle soreness and a slight improvement in general well-being in patients with this condition.

In summary, Zein Pharma D-Ribose 200 g is a dietary supplement containing D-ribose, a component of extremely important, biologically active compounds. This simple sugar plays a number of important metabolic roles in the human body. The supplement comes in the form of a water-soluble powder. It has a simple and pure composition.
