Chemical Formula:
D-ribose is a natural component present in all cells in the body. It is closely related to the formation of adenylic acid and the regeneration of ATP, and is one of the most basic energy sources for life metabolism. It plays a key role in the metabolism of the heart and skeletal muscle, and can promote the recovery of ischemic tissues and hypoxic tissues. D-ribose is an important component of nucleic acid, the genetic material in the body, and is in a pivotal position in the metabolism of nucleosides, proteins, and fats. It has important physiological functions and broad application prospects. D-ribose has a sweet taste with a refreshing taste, and can also be used as a sports health product and food additive (edible flavor). However, there has always been a problem with D-ribose in the application process: it has extremely strong hygroscopicity. This greatly limits the further application of D-ribose. Based on this, Hihealth has launched moisture-proof D-ribose microcapsule powder, which has a uniform encapsulation structure and a complete shell coating, which can well isolate oxygen and moisture in the air, significantly improving the hygroscopicity of D-ribose.
1.Health benefits for the heart
This study was designed to investigate the role of ribose on ventilation at anaerobic threshold in congestive heart failure patients. D-ribose (5gms/dose, tid) was assessed in 16 NYHA class III–IV, heart failure patients with VO2, tidal volume/VCO2, heart rate/tidal volume evaluated at 8 weeks. All patients had a significant improvement in ventilatory parameters at anaerobic threshold, along with a 44% Weber class improvement. Ribose improved the ventilatory exercise status in advanced heart failure patients
2.Effect on athletic ability
In a double-blind crossover study of 26 athletes, subjects took either a glucose control or 10 grams of D-ribose over two days. This was followed by three additional days of supplementation. During these three days, both groups performed 60 minutes of high-intensity exercise each day. After five days, significant improvements in exercise performance and reductions in exercise intensity were observed in the D-ribose group compared to the study's placebo group.
3.Anti-fatigue and antioxidant effects
Long-term aerobic training and D-ribose supplementation can increase the reserves of liver glycogen and muscle glycogen in mice, slow down the consumption of liver glycogen and muscle glycogen in exercise mice, thereby improving the mice's exercise endurance, delaying the onset of fatigue, and improving the body's athletic ability.
The results of its antioxidant activity showed that compared with the quiet control group, the T-AOC of the D-ribose control group and the D-ribose + aerobic exercise group were enhanced, the activities of SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px were also significantly increased, and MDA was significantly reduced. This shows that long-term regular aerobic exercise combined with D-ribose supplementation can significantly improve the body's oxidative stress capacity and enhance the body's anti-fatigue effect.
4.The function of beauty and skin care
A group of 20 women volunteers applied a cos-metic product twice a day containing 0.5% D-ribose to the whole face. After 28 days of treatment, The cosmetic product allows an aver-age increase of 12.3% in skin elasticity and an average reduction of 17.6% in the average length of the wrinkles and 12.2% in the total surface area of the wrinkles. According to the evaluation questionnaire com-pleted by these volunteers, 67% found their skin more radiant/more glowing, 71% that their complexion was less dull, 71% that their complexion was more even.
