D-Ribose Properties

What is d-ribose? D-ribose is a naturally occurring sugar that's showing promise as a natural energy stimulator. It's been shown to increase cellular levels of an energy producing substance known as ATP in both muscle cells and heart cells in the human body. ATP is considered to be the primary source of energy for the living cell. While intuitively it would make sense that ribose supplements would increase energy levels since they alter cellular levels of ATP.
