The use of <\/span>ribose<\/span><\/b> in <\/span>sports nutrition<\/span><\/b> is gaining the trust of an increasing number of functional food and drink manufacturers. <\/span>\u00a0
Indeed, this valuable <\/span>carbohydrate<\/span><\/b> can improve the nutritional profile of food and drink and is very useful for athletes during periods of intense training to improve <\/span>energy<\/span><\/b> levels and prevent muscle fatigue by raising the threshold of fatigue perception. <\/span>\u00a0
\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what is ribose?\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a reason why ribose is an <\/span>essential element<\/span><\/b> closely linked to producing energy: As an essential substance for cell synthesis, it is the basis of vital cell compounds including purines and pyrimidines, which the human body uses to form DNA and RNA.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In particular, ribose is involved in the production of adenosine triphosphate (<\/span>ATP<\/span><\/b>), the energy molecule used by almost all metabolic reactions that take place in the body. Whether through intense exertion or normal energy metabolism, ribose is involved in reactions leading to <\/span>nerve transmission<\/span><\/b> and <\/span>muscle contraction<\/span><\/b>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The human body is normally able to satisfy the daily requirement for ribose by synthesising glucose. Glucose is in fact the most abundant sugar in the Mediterranean diet, which is recommended as a healthy and balanced diet. It is found in fruit and complex carbohydrates such as pasta, bread, rice, potatoes and chestnuts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, when the body is subjected to very intense and long-lasting exertion, as in endurance sports, the body uses glucose reserves to respond to energy expenditure. Consequently, the need for ribose increases to ensure the release of expendable energy directly into the body for any metabolic function.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ribose as a sports supplement<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sportsmen and women can benefit from ribose supplementation to improve athletic performance and aid recovery, especially in high-intensity sports, those requiring prolonged exertion and those requiring high acceleration, changes of pace and anaerobic power, as well as continuous muscular exertion.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
