•D-Ribose improves diastolic function and quality of life in congestive heart failure patients
A prospective clinical study in patients with coronary artery disease/heart failure showed that D-ribose improved diastolic function and quality of life, with good tolerability.Link to the study
•D-Ribose aids heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)
In patients with preserved ejection fraction, D-ribose supplementation improved diastolic function parameters and subjective symptoms, suggesting support for myocardial energetics.Link to the study
•The influence of D-ribose ingestion and fitness level on repeated high-intensity exercise performance
In a randomized, double-blind, crossover study, D-ribose maintained repeated sprint performance and reduced subjective effort and CK in the lower VO₂max group, unlike dextrose.Link to the study
•Effects of ribose supplementation on repeated sprint performance
A randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study showed that 32 g of D-ribose in the recovery period can favorably affect short-term anaerobic performance in a subsequent sprint test.Link to the study
•Effect of D-ribose supplementation on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)
In healthy subjects, D-ribose supplementation reduced biomarkers of muscle damage and oxidative stress after eccentric exercise, with a signal of improved recovery.Link to the study
