A D-ribose supplement from Jarrow Formulas and ingredient supplier Bioenergy Life Sciences is being included in gift bags given to celebrities at the upcoming Golden Globes awards. The ingredient is promoted for benefits including rapid recovery of cells after intense exertion, such as exercise.

The Bioenergy ingredient is a five-carbon carbohydrate D-ribose. D-ribose is a simple carbohydrate and a building block for energy carriers, cell-signaling molecules, and nucleic acids. It is necessary for ATP production. Without D-ribose, cells cannot produce ATP, the cells’ source of energy.
