  • USE OF RIBOSE IN FIRST RESPONSE TO ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
    Publication number: 20200206252
    Abstract: D-ribose is administered to patients suffering an acute myocardial infarction during first response care, in order to prevent cardiac compromise. In those patients able to ingest fluids, two to five grams of D-ribose is administered orally. In a patients unable to ingest fluids, or in a patient with and intravenous line, pyrogen-free D-ribose is administered intravenously at a rate of 50-300 mg/kg/hour.

  • USE OF D-RIBOSE FOR FATIGUED SUBJECTS
    Publication number: 20160317561
    Abstract: Low doses of D-ribose raise the level of fitness and lower the perception of fatigue in baby boomers aged 45-65 who perceive themselves as fatigued. The doses range from 0.100 grams to 3.0 grams, bid, for a total of 0.200 to 6.0 grams daily. Objective measures of cardiopulmonary parameters confirm the improvement of fitness and questionnaires confirm that quality of life and mental states are improved with D-ribose administration.
