    Glucose v D-Ribose (St Marks Solution)

    I am making up some St Mark’s Solution and am wondering wether I can substitute Glucose for D-Ribose. Both are sugar but not exactly the same. I have lots of D-Ribose but no Glucose. Does it make much if any difference? If you don’t know then: St. Mark’s solution is a potassium-free glucose...

    Dear fellow users, I would like to inquire if there are studies about the sublingual intake of D-Ribose? Sadly I couldnt find any source. As D-Ribose is a form of sugar, does it significantly harm your teeth by taking it sublingually and keeping it in the mouth for several minutes? Also: Does...

    Hello - Just wanted to pass this along. I've been taking 5gm of D-Ribose twice daily for 4 years and was recently diagnosed with mild memory loss and polyneuropathy. Albeit, there are a number of factors that could be causing this. Nevertheless, the risk of developing full on dementia...

    How long does it take a Ribose dose to become ATP?

    ...far in advance should i take an extra teaspoon to help get me through it, i've googled it but not come up with much except that when beginning Ribose therapy expect 2 weeks to see results (for heart failure). Also i've seen no evidence that one should divide doses at all except everyone says...

    D-Ribose: does anyone else find it immediately uncomfortable?

    I'll be honest, d-ribose isn't a supplement I'm looking forward to. It's inconvenient, because I have to lug around a bucket of powder, or prepare a bottle of water pre-mixed every day. I'd love for it to be a flop lol. I just tried a scoop of 5g, and within 20 minutes, I'm finding myself...

    I just started taking D-Ribose. I took one dose yesterday evening, then another one with each meal today. It seems to be helping, but I got really bad diarrhea this afternoon and again this evening, and I think it's the Ribose. Has anybody else had this issue? Should I reduce the dose, or get...

    Sublingual D-ribose?

    Anyone tried taking D-ribose sublingually? Seems it feeds my gut candida so I need to find another way or stop taking it (and get way worse).

    Ribose / R5P... "Potent Glycating Agents"?

    ...as it overwhelmingly adopts its thermodynamically stable pyranose form, rather than the reactive open-chain aldehyde form. Pentoses such as ribose and especially R5P (ribose-5-phosphate) are much more potent glycating agents, R5P reacting with amines 150-fold faster than glucose [4,5]. R5P...

    D-Ribose smells like alchool?

    Hi, I have just bought a bottle of Solgar's D-Ribose powder like this one: Opening it up and smelling gives a distinct smell of alcohol... I was wondering if it's expected. The bottle was sealed and the expiry date is 2017, so the product should be intact. thanks

    D-ribose and post-exertional malaise question

    I started taking d-ribose a couple days ago and have definitely noticed that I seem to have more energy, maybe similar to having extra coffee, but wondering if this will translate to being able to actually do more.

    D-Ribose with Magnesium - makes me tired, and here could be the rerason...?

    I have D-Ribose and D-Ribose Corvalen (with Malic and MAgnesium). I am finding that after four days of D-Ribose Carvalen I am feeling tired. I put this down to the possible reason that Magnesium is making me tired and messing with my salt levels. I just took some salt water and that gave me a...

    Can D-Ribose cause extreme tiredness?

    Well...I found a jar of D-Ribose that I had bought about a year ago. I had tried it in the past and don't think it did much for me but decided I would give it a try. I took a scoop this morning in my coffee and within about an hour I felt so tired I could hardly keep my eyes open. Even now...
