What is Solal Ribose Powder used for:

Ribose forms part of the Acetyl-Co-Enzyme-A molecule and is an essential part of the Krebs energy cycle, responsible for the release of energy in the form of ATP. Ribose is a powerful heart-energising glyconutrient and also helps in the management of chronic fatigue syndrome, exhaustion and fibromyalgia. Due to its involvement in the release of energy from carbohydrates and fats, it is also useful for enhancing athletic and exercise performance.

Pharmacological Action:

Ribose is rate-limiting in the production of phosphoribosyl-pyrophosphate (PRPP), precursor for the salvage and de-novo adenine nucleoside pathways which maintain adenine, ADP, and AMP levels for the re-synthesis of ATP.

High energy bonds of ATP are the direct source for myocardial contractions.

Evidence suggests that exogenous ribose increases the amount of PRPP available for the de-novo synthetic pathway and ultimately resulting in the repletion of ATP levels in the myocardium. Athletes who supplement with ribose have been shown to have lower depletion of ATP after exercise.

Interactions:
Antidiabetic medication and insulin: Theoretically, ribose may increase the hypoglycaemic effect of insulin and sulfonylureas, biguanides, alfa-glucosidase inhibitors, thiazolidinediones, meglitinides and others.
Diabetes: Theoretically ribose should be avoided in individuals with diabetes since it may interfere and enhance the glucose-lowering effects of insulin or oral anti-hyperglycaemic agents.
Surgery: Ribose might affect blood glucose levels and may affect glucose control during and after surgery. Individuals should discontinue ribose at least 2-weeks before elective surgery.
