Ribose and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia

A pilot study conducted at the Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Center in Dallas, TX shows promising results that D-Ribose may help Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and/or Fibromyalgia.

66% of patients reported improvements which may include improvements in energy; sleep; mental clarity; pain intensity; and sense of well-being.

D-Ribose is one of the steps in the energy production pathways of the body. A truly significant improvement of fatigue after taking D-Ribose may indicate genetic deficiency in myoadenylate deaminse enzyme.
