D-Ribose the Building Block for Energy

Ribose, the fundimental building block for ATP

Tring, United Kingdom, October 26, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Solgar Vitamin & Herb, the award winning nutritional supplement company is proud to announce the launch of D-Ribose, a new product aimed at supporting cellular energy production and tissue regeneration. D-Ribose is a simple five-carbon sugar that is produced by all cells and is a key element to the makeup of RNA and DNA as well as adenosine triphophate (ATP) and Riboflavin.

ATP is the energy currency of the cell and provides the power all cells need to function. D-ribose is the fundamental building block of ATP, the energy molecule, so without sufficient ribose in the cell, ATP cannot be formed. If ATP cannot be formed, the energy pool cannot be re-supplied if the cell becomes energy starved. The availability of D-ribose in cells is therefore a limiting factor in energy recovery following cellular stress.

Ribose is primarily associated with cardiovascular function by helping to optimise the cell’s oxygen utilisation. When cells are using oxygen to its full potential, heart function becomes optimised, exercise recovery times are reduced and muscular energy production is improved.

“We are very excited about this latest innovation from Solgar’s scientific research team.” Says Solgar’s Technical Director Paul Chamberlain. “This product sits alongside Solgar’s other innovations, gPLC and Nutri Nano CoQ10, making up the first comprehensive range that support optimal cellular energy production and is based upon the very latest scientific research.”

Cell regeneration and oxygen efficiency are issues that affect many people, from athletes who aim to optimise their athletic performance, to cardiovascular patients who seek to improve their quality of life. As well as those who are striving to maintain good energy levels for everyday life:

“People in every walk of life, whether healthy or sick use a great deal of energy in every cell in their body every day. Many become deficient in cellular energy reserves because they exercise, are stressed in their job, or because they may be contracting or already have heart disease that place undue burden on their energy metabolism… Most don’t know they could feel better if they gave their cells a fighting chance.” (Dr. Stephen Sinatra, The Sinatra Solution)

D-Ribose is marketed in the UK by Solgar Vitamin & Herb and will have an RRP of £29.85, available from 24th September 2006.
