D-Ribose Powder 150 grams (5.29 oz.) People suffering from cardiac and other debilitating health problems often exhibit severely depleted cellular energy in heart and muscle tissue, which can greatly impair normal daily functions.* The primary source of energy for all cellular processes is a molecule known as ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Healthy, active cells constantly replenish their supply of ATP to produce vital cellular energy. However, under conditions of stress, injury, or aging, critical body tissues such as heart and skeletal muscles cannot produce ATP quickly enough to perform optimally.* D-ribose, a carbohydrate molecule found in every living organism, facilitates the production of ATP.1 In studies of healthy athletes as well as those who have suffered injury to the heart muscle, supplying fatigued muscle cells with D-ribose quickly restored ATP levels to normal.2-4 By helping to rapidly refill depleted energy stores, D-ribose may be especially beneficial for people coping with cardiac and other problems marked by impaired cellular energy production.* D-Ribose Caps and D-Ribose Powder can help speed energy recovery, increase energy reserves, and maintain healthy energy levels in heart and muscle tissue.* References: 1.

Great for Brain Fog and Fatigue!Aug 18, 2011
By CharlieMQ Life Extension D-ribose Powder, 150-Grams Thoroughly recommended as the only thing to help me with my chronic fatigue brain fog symptoms. I have now been able to take up my promotion at work which I initially turned down due to my incapacity to think effectively. You do have to keep taking it, however, as I ran out a few weeks ago and within 2 days the symptoms returned. This brand seems to work better than others.

Brain and Cardio Performance ImprovementsDec 21, 2011
By H. T. Roberts
"taijitai"
I hope this review is helpful to others. I had a positive experience, but there are things that may have contributed, as well. One thing important to say right away - Life Extension products are excellent.
BACKGROUND INFO: Male, 40 yrs old. I do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and weight training. I work in an engineering field. I need to be completely honest that I have not tried this product ALONE, but with a group of other products that make us what is called The Awesome Foursome, which consists of: Reacted Magnesium (1x/day); Carnitine(1x/day); CoQ10(1x/day); D-Ribose(2x/day). Also, be aware that I take other supplements: fish oil (3x/day), trans-resveratrol(1x/day), Vit D3 (5000 IU/day), Myomin (3x/day), and slow release DHEA (20mg, 1x/day).
DOSAGE: I take one scoop, twice a day (morning and late afternoon).
VERDICT: Since adding TAF to my supplement regime, I have seen a very noticeable improvement in my mental focus at work and performance in BJJ, as well as weight lifting. There's no nervous caffeine jitters or restlessness, just simple alertness and focus. My cardio performance during intense BJJ sessions has also noticeably improved. I think this has a two part reason: mental focus allows for less wasted energy via better technique; true energy production improvement in the muscle cells.
I have also noticed that my mood is much, much better. Productivity at work is up, and I am more patient and positive, which has made for home-life to be much more enjoyable for all - I got pretty cranky at night due to all the physical demands of my hobbies :). My wife has noticed the old happy me coming back.
One bit of advice: For any supplement, I recommend trying it for at least two weeks before grading its performance. I typically try only one supplement at a time, but I tried all four of TAF together for a month, and I definitely noticed a difference. I may scale back one supplement at a time to see if anything changes, as it will be an expensive long-term commitment for all four, considering my already expensive supplement regime.
If you're interested in taking all four of TAF, I don't recommend doing what I did. Instead, add only one at a time, and see if you get an improvement. My total expense for TAF is about $70/month. Ouch!!!

Excellent supplement for people with Chronic Fatigue SyndromeMar 28, 2012
By Mertz I have had CFS since 1994. This is one of those supplements that really helped me by providing increased energy and endurance. My husband even noticed the difference in my energy levels. I take one scoop in a small amount of liquid in the morning, and sometimes in the afternoon if I'm having a particularly bad day. As usual with this illness, nothing will make you 100% better, but this definitely helps! I am now going to try one that is perhaps a bit less expensive (from Swanson's Vitamins), since it seems I'll be taking this long term.

This is a must have!Feb 12, 2012
By northstar I have a child with autism and have found various supplements that have helped significantly over the years to mitigate some of the unfavorable symptoms of my child's ASD. This is one of those supplements that made a huge difference and is in the must-have category of filling in that nutritional gap. I decided to try this for my child after a study came out of the University of Arizona describing the benefits of D-Ribose and NADH for children with autism. D-ribose helped my child's mood improve favorably and decrease anxiety. I did not try NADH for a few months as a general rule to not try multiple new things at once. This brand is very effective and great quality and I reorder this consistently. I give my 100lb child (who is a teenager, actually) 1/2 tsp per day. I started out with one whole scoop per day and that had the OPPOSITE effect of increasing anxiety and lowering frustration tolerance and I found a very happy therapeutic dose at 1/2 tsp per day so you may want to experiment with dosing amount to find the right fit for you. The bonus is that this is a sweet powder and easily disguised in drinks. It does clump a little but I use a shaker bottle and give it a few minutes to unclump.
