Bioenergy
RIBOSE™ and Your Blood Sugar
Bioenergy RIBOSE is a
carbohydrate, but it does not raise your blood sugar. Most sugars
contain six carbons, like the glucose circulating in blood that we
commonly refer to as blood sugar. Ribose has five carbons, so it is
different.
The body uses six carbon sugars as fuel. Cells "burn" these sugars to
recycle energy. Ribose is unique. Instead of being burned as a fuel, the
body preserves ribose for the important job of energy synthesis. They
are very different. Burning sugars for fuel uses the same energy
molecule over and over in a cellular recycling process. Ribose makes new
energy and, in this way, replaces energy that is lost by strenuous
exercise, stress, overexertion, or metabolic conditions that affect
normal energy metabolism in the body.
Because of the important difference between how the body uses common
six-carbon sugars and the five-carbon carbohydrate, ribose, the blood
sugar does not go up when ribose is consumed. Click on the abstract
below to learn more about this unique metabolic property of ribose.
