Increase Strength and Stamina with D-Ribose: Thomas DeLauer

Increase Strength and Stamina with D-Ribose: Thomas DeLauer-
What is D-Ribose? D-Ribose is a simple sugar that has been shown in many studies to be helpful for producing ATP in cardiac patients. It is this ATP production that makes this supplement useful. Damaged muscles can in essence be revived with the ATP produced with D-Ribose.

In one study, one group of healthy animals were given supplemental D-ribose and another group of healthy animals was not. Both groups were then subject to experimental ischemia, where blood flow was restricted to their heart muscles. Those given the D-ribose lasted 25% longer before irreversible injury occurred. The muscles were found to have elevated levels of glycogen. In the same experiment they looked at hypertensive rats and performed the same experiment. In this experiment it was found that those who received the D-ribose supplement experienced improved ventricular function of up to 25%. This means that the heart was able to pump blood more effectively. D-ribose has also been shown to improve postischemic recovery of muscle function and energy stores. This means that those recovering from heart surgery can benefit from faster and more complete recovery.

Another study looked at 20 men who had coronary artery disease. They were randomly assigned either D-ribose or a placebo for three days. Before and after the treatment they were times on a treadmill - those with the D-ribose increased their walking time by 24%. It follows that supplementation would lead to increased ATP production in mitochondria throughout the body. Mitochondria are our energy power houses throughout our bodies. The faster energy production occurs, the more energy we will have. Exercise is crucial for our health and wellbeing. Many report energy being their reason that they do not exercise. Increased ATP production due to D-ribose supplementation leads to less “burn” following workouts due to more available energy at the skeletal muscle source.

A 2004 study looked at high intensity cycling and recovery time. All participants underwent one week of intensive intermittent exercise. One group was given D-ribose for three days after the workout week and the other group was given a placebo. ATP levels in skeletal muscle was found the have returned to normal in the D-ribose group, but was still depressed in the control group. This study suggests that the availability of ribose in the muscle is a limiting factor in the production of ATP. A 2006 study looked at 41 participants who experienced chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia. The participants were given a questionnaire pre and post D-ribose supplementation. Patients reported improvement in all five categories: energy, sleep, mental clarity, pain intensity and well-being. 66% of patients experienced significant improvement.

How Much to Take:
This depends on why you are taking it - you want to take more if it is due to heart related problems. It is best to consult with your doctor on the right amount. Studies that found positive effects on heart muscles used about 14 grams to 60 grams per day. For general fatigue positive effects have been found at 5 grams, 3 times per day. This may be a good amount to begin with to see how you feel. If you feel healthy but would like to add the protective effects, just 5 grams per day may suffice.

I took years to try it, and it knocked out my CFS, and Fibromyalgia. From my feet to my neck it helped reduce pain. I went from crippled to better!

I wish I knew about this years ago. I have worked out off an on since I was 18. Now in my 50's and am still trying. For the past 20 years I have had a problem recovering from workouts. A common cycle for me is to have good workouts for a week or two then feel like crap for a month (weak and almost sick feeling). Prior to COVID I was in great shape and working out but still struggled with recovery. It took me 18 months to get over COVID Long symptoms and now I am trying to work out again. One workout takes me 5 to 7 days to recover from. I just heard about Ribose and I added it to my stack of supplements. This thing is a miracle in a pill. I take two a day and now my recovery time is down to 1-2 days. I have more energy then I have had in 20 years. I have tried everything under the sun and nothing helped until I tried Ribose. Give it a try.

Such an important supplement that didn't receive the proper attention back in 2016 -- definitely worth a follow-up Thomas!

[amberlongoria]

THANK YOU! Just found out I suffer from CFS. I read about D-Ribose, but I always check with you and Dr. Berg before I buy another supplement. Btw, 5 months and down 6 dress sizes thanks to your advice!

Thomas, Love your work! This video covers an important subject, but has a low view count in comparison to your more recent work. It would be great if you could rehash this subject and add any new data. I’ve found it really helps me with brain fog. I turned my adult son onto it after he struggled to recover from Covid. D-ribose knocked out his long Covid symptoms quickly and now he continues to take it daily for athletic performance and to keep a clear head. Another friend also used it for his post-Covid symptoms and it not only helped him recover, but also he noticed his A-Fib episodes were substantially reduced in number and in severity. He too continues to take it daily. All told, I have 5 friends and family members who are taking it daily since I turned
them on to it.

Its tume to revisit research on this one! This stuff is a miracle!

I couldn't agree more that many illnesses are related to energy deficiencies. I'm a recovered chronic fatigue syndrome sufferer, and I recall it literally felt like my heart and everything else was simply underpowered. I cant quantify how I knew my kidneys were stronger once I got on the ketogenic diet (and started to recover), but they were, my heart and everything else too (my blood pressure was dangerously low, once my heart had the energy it needed it simply did its job and my blood pressure is now always perfect. Im researching D-ribose again because I feel I still have a lot of upwards potential energywise. And following Dr myhill's recommendations it can also be used as a ketogenic friendly sweetener!!

Thanks maan your always so spot on and factual with all your information
And your a picture of true health and strength for inspiration
Good one mate 👍💪

Guys, I can tell you. After 2-3 days on D-ribose, I was SOLD! It is so true. I was crashing half way through my workouts. On D-Ribose (5 grams pre and post), I had to pry myself out of the gym in an hour. It's LEGIT. I am no longer on KETO, as I used it as a tool to come back from fat and lazy. Dropped 22 pounds, and carbed back up, and kept clean. But this was like a slingshot for me.

[amyvandagriff]

glad you did a vid on this as we just spoke about this the other day for my lyme mgmt !! keep the video content coming you can do no wrong :) !!

[hasank]

bro your videos are amazing! theres a full description under the video and references to what your talking about... I love it

you should have over a million subscribers! some day... some day...

[TheGregpetree]

When do we take this wile intermittent fasting!?? On Keto, how do we take this and do we take it with carbs!!? Please Thomas Delauer, post a follow up!  :D  Thanks.

[tomdwij]

Great perspective, im going to get on the D ribose, dealing with recovery issues....

[AnthonyGarcia-qdnj]

Great video!!!! I’ve bought D-Ribose yesterday! Looking forward to check the results

[frankfrank]

Thanks for the videos! Keep them coming. How about a video about building or maintaining muscles when having cancer and/or lyme disease?

[blondiez]

I don't say Thank You to you enough. Thank you so much for all your research and for sharing👍

[lorddalron]

Fantastic video! I have an auto immune similar to lupas so this was a nice surprise!

[thomasburke]

Great video as always. I am actually taking biology in high school right now and am learning similar stuff. Are there any foods that supply D ribose?

[jimmy]

Make a video on your current cycle so we can do it safely.

Dear Thomas, you ask us to react or ask a question. When do you give some anwers? Kind regards, Kees
