Ribose

**DarkFalcon** · 06-12-2005, 10:10 PM

There was a lot of hype about ribose at one time with many saying it's the next creatine. Has anyone used it on it's own or in combination to any success? I can see the potential for benifit with a creatine/ribose combo.

Hey Falcon I did a little research for you.. .I am not sure if the following is what you are looking for... but it caught my attention.. and hope it helps...

Creatine and D-Ribose Energy Stack

The Ultimate Energy Combo - Ribose and Creatine...

First there was Creatine, which delivers incredible results when used properly combined with good workouts and good supplementation. Then cam Ribose, almost like a sister of Creatine, providing abundant amounts of energy, and also delivering fantastic weight gain results for many. Then, somebody has the bright idea of stacking Creatine and Ribose, and the results as experienced by many has been terrific.

Although still not main stream, the Creatine and Ribose Combo is gaining popularity with monay athletes, simply for the potention amounts of energy this stack can gereate. Lets take a look at how..

Stacking Creatine and Ribose...

If you are familiar with Creatine, you will know that the Creatine increases the amount of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in your body, which provides energy for short powerful bursts of movement. ATP becomes ADP (adenosine diphosphate) by releasing a phosphate, and this creates the energy used by your muscles. This lasts for about 10 seconds, after which more ATP is needed. This is where Creatine comes in. Creatine phosphate give its phosphate to the ADP which then creates another ATP kind of like recycling ADP's in a sense.

D-Ribose on the other hand, also increased the ATP in your body, but in a different way than creatine. Where Creatine helps replace the lost phosphate to recreate the ATP, Ribose is an actual building block of ATP.
In an ATP there is a base called Adenine, a Ribose, and a Phosphate chain. Without Ribose, you cant make ATP at all.

During intense excercise, you ATP pools decrease dramatically and it can take up to 4 days for your body to rebuild the ATP reserves for peak performance. Your body cant make Ribose quickly enough to meet your energy demands, this is exactly why you need to supplement Ribose.

So Why Stack Creatine and Ribose?

If it is not already clear why, lets clear up the last piece of the question mark.

Creatine and Ribose both supplement you with loads more ATP, but in COMPLETELY different ways. Creatine recycles used ADP into ATP, and Ribose is an actual building block of ATP. Without Ribose there's no ATP, and without Creatine phosphate, there is no recycling of the ADP into ATP.

Even though you can supplement Creatine for a great level of energy boost, there are much more energy molecules being lost, from which no matter how much Creatine you use, without these energy molecules your Creatine supplementation is useless to you.

So now do you see how Ribose and Creatine are such a perfect Stack supplementing each other? Where Ribose allows more production of ATP, and the Creatine allowing the re-production of ATP (from ADP). With the extra ATP being produced, you get the most of your Creatine recycling these energy molecules.

2 Ribose products are recommeneded: EAS Riboforce HP and Muscle link Ribosize. They are both different, and meet different needs.

EAS Riboforce HP is a mixture of many ingredients with the two main ingredients being Ribose and Creatine. You see, they are making good use of the Ribose and Creatine Stack, which delivers excellant results. If you are currently not taking Creatine, but considering it, you may find Ribforce HP can give you that great extra oomph in your workouts.

If you are already supplementing Creatine, then either MuscleLinks Ribose Size or Jarrow Ribose 100g should work great stacked with your Creatine. Its a pure form of Ribose with nothing else added...

Great post PJ. I understood the benifits of stacking the two and that explains it clearly. I'm hoping some members in here have tried stacking the two and can provide construtive feed back. If not maybe I'll buck up and post a log.

Absolutely, at least people know why I'm interested in it now.

From everything I have read it is a fantastic stack... I would be curious to see some results...

Exactly seems like a dynamic duo, kinda like Batman and Robin.

**DarkFalcon** · 07-06-2005, 10:07 PM

Bump! Can't believe no one has tried ribose..
