Title:Yea for Ribose, Nea for container

Date:November 24, 2011

"We take Ribose daily and find it to help our energy. And for a couple in our 60s, that's important! Now, with this last order you switched the container from a nice compact plastic jar to a much taller plastic jar with a smaller opening, which makes it much harder to reach in and fill the scoop, even though the amount of Ribose stayed the same. I have rather small hands for a man, but this doesn't work well. Even my petite wife has difficulty getting her hand in. The smaller jar allowed me to simply use my fingers to find and fill the scoop. Please switch back. The container shouldn't discourage the use of a great product."

Title:Great supplement

Date:September 17, 2011

"Really good supplement but it comes in a container that is 5 3/4" tall and is only filled up about half way. That wouldn't be a problem if the scoop that comes with the product had a long handle but the handle is only 1 1/4" long. My recommendation is either use a shorter container since all the extra space isn't used or put a longer handle on the enclosed scoop. Overall an excellent supplement and does seem to help my energy and mood, highly recommend."

Title:Cardiovascular staple

Date:June 15, 2011

"Have been taking D-Ribose for a few years now for heart health along with Ubiguinol and Carnitine mostly. Felt so good with this combo that I cut back on the doseage to 1 scoop per day maintenance for quite a while with no problems. Later on I got stingy and decided to save a buck and quit the Ribose all together. BIG MISTAKE! Reordered more today. Enough said.? Great product in my opinion."

Title:One of the best on the market

Date:March 23, 2011

"I just wanted to let you know that I tried this product once a few months ago and really didn't notice much of an effect.

That of course as I have recently learned is because I am was to much of a tight wad and didn't use enough of the product.

I have been increasing my exercise routine this year because I was tired of the way I felt and looked for the last few years.

I did lots of research before I began this fitness/ bulking routine in early January.

To get the full effects of d-ribose you have to used enough of the product.

I used to skimp on using maybe 5 grams in a day in smoothies and other beverages.

Now I use at least 10 to 20 grams a day.

I used to get extremely tired on the treadmill around the 30 minute mark in a 60 minute walk/run.

Now just after my warm-up routine and getting the shoes on and the treadmill ready I put 1 teaspoon of d-ribose under my tongue to slowly dissolve over a ten minute period or so while I am on the treadmill.

At the 30 minute mark as the glucose is used up from my muscles, something else takes over its just as if your energy does not stop it is just amazing.

After the workouts before using ribose I used to be exhausted, pretty much for the rest of the day. Now after using d-ribose I feel alive and rejuvenated. I can do things all day with what seems unlimited energy, like in my twenties and then some.

My heart feels great the harder I push and I just never really seem to be without energy.

After my workouts I will make a organic fruit smoothie in a blender using all the power fruits. Blueberries, kiwi's, cranberries, raspberries, banana's, ground up in some fresh squeezed orange juice and some 100% organic pomegranate juice.

Just before blending in goes a scoop of 5 grams of d-ribose and yum yum yum.

It is important to drink this down within an hour after your workout to get the full benefits of restoring the essential nutrients to your cells.

Just before bed another 5 grams of d-ribose maybe in a protein drink or mixed with your evening tea and good night baby.

I'm telling you stuff is no joke, if you give it a try for around a month or so you will not go without it again.

Your friends will be asking what you have changed, you seem more energetic and full of life.

Give it a try if you are not willing to spend a few bucks on yourself for that feeling of well being then what are you willing to spend it on."

My job requires me to lift heavy parts, and there are times when I feel I can't lift another thing...then I take my ribose and I'm good to go for the rest of the shift...amazing! I surfed the web, thoroughly, for pricing and Swanson wins hands down.
As for lumps,folks, merely give the jar a vigorous shake before use!"

"After only 3 days of taking it I noticed that half way through my weightlifting routine I wasn't dragging the way I usually do. After a few weeks I noticed how much my strength increased. I am also swimming 30 to 45 minutes, non-stop, after my lifting. I'm 55 years old and I'm starting the old power lifting routines I used to do back in the '70s. I do 20 grams on workout days and 10 on off days. I'm also up in the morning and raring to go. I decided to test it out and quit taking it for a week. I started feeling weaker and less energetic after about 5 days. I'll never do without this supplement again."
