Ribose is an organic chemical compound, a five-carbon sugar with a slightly sweet taste. It is highly soluble in water. It is naturally present in nucleosides and nucleotides linked to RNA and in the cellular energy carrier molecule ATP. It is also found in coenzyme A, vitamin B2, and vitamin B12. Tested repeatedly, it is a very safe substance.

Studies have shown that D-ribose may play an inhibitory role in the breakdown of adenine nucleotides. This affects the subsequent formation of xanthine and uric acid compounds and thus influences the release of superoxide anion radicals. Oxygen free radicals damage genetic material, proteins, and lipids present in the cell. The combination of D-ribose with reducing antioxidants can provide a more optimal state of cellular protection during and after oxidative stress. [1]

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

In summary, Zein Pharma D-Ribose 200 g is a dietary supplement that provides D-ribose, an extremely important and biologically active component. In the human body, this simple sugar plays a number of important metabolic roles. The supplement is presented in the form of a water-soluble powder. Its composition is simple and pure.
