Bioenergy Life Science and D-Ribose

Bioenergy Life Science, Inc. is an integrated life science company whose core technology is centered on a five-carbon carbohydrate D-Ribose.  D-Ribose (also known as “ribose”) is vital for the cellular synthesis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) plus the generic materials DNA and RNA.  Bioenergy RIBOSE^® is widely used in foods and nutrition for energy enhancement.  It helps accelerate energy recovery in hearts and muscles, reduces fatigue and post-exercise malaise and improves exercise performance over time.

While every cell in the body has the ability to make ribose, the metabolic pathway used in D-Ribose synthesis is slow and rate limited.  In times of metabolic stress the body’s inability to produce D-Ribose limits ATP synthesis, restricts the formation of important cellular compounds and delays tissue recovery.  Stressed cells simply cannot make energy fast enough to keep pace with demand.  Ribose administration significantly accelerates energy recovery.

Athletes and Exercise

For serious athletes, recovery time is paramount.  High intensity exercise drains muscle energy pools, contributing to delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), exertional fatigue, loss of peak performance, and tissue damage.  The fundamental role of ribose in energy synthesis and salvage is to accelerate tissue energy recovery, helping to restore the physiological condition of the muscle, reduce cell damage, limit free radical formation, and protect the heart and muscles from the rigors of strenuous exercise.  For those who exercise more sporadically, prolonged muscle soreness and fatigue can also be debilitating.  Clinically proven Bioenergy RIBOSE shortens recovery time, reduces muscle soreness and limits the onset or severity of fatigue for athletes of all levels. 

Cardiovascular Health

Cardiovascular disease remains the number one killer of Americans.  Cardiac energy metabolism plays a pivotal role in heart function.  Congestive heart failure, ischemic heart disease, and cardiomyopathy deplete cardiac energy stores by 30% or more, contributing to chronically depressed heart function.  Ribose administration accelerates ATP synthesis, helping supply the crucial energy reserves needed to preserve cardiovascular health and wellness or recover from hypoxic insult.  Clinical data shows that ribose supplementation can increase the heart’s hypoxic threshold improve diastolic heart function increase tolerance and quality of the life in heart patients and restore oxygen utilization efficiency.

General Nutrition

A randomized, placebo controlled trial of Baby Boomers complaining of persistent fatigue, showed that Bioenergy RIBOSE reinvigorated them,  gave them new energy and greater exercise tolerance. In the two-week study, subjects were given 3-grams doses twice per day of either Bioenergy RIBOSE or Dextrose. Results were evaluated using submaximal cardiopulmonary exercise tests given at baseline, 1 and 2 weeks. The results were overwhelming! The Bioenergy RIBOSE-supplemented group improved in three major measures of fitness and exercise tolerance, key to overcoming fatigue.

Product Development Support

Ribose is available in a variety of functional foods, beverages, sports nutrition, anti-aging products, supplements, dairy beverages, nutrition/health/meal, replacement bars, clinical nutrition, and more. Bioenergy Life Science works to confidentially help clients with claim development and technical support.
