D Ribos (heart & muscle health)

I looked around some now on D Ribose for you. Ribose is an organic compound readily available in nature.The D form is mentioned most often. Pubmed references pulled up early investigation for its use in heart muscle. I found nothing matching D Ribose, cancer but a goodly amount on D Ribose and muscle.

I always check the MSK CAM site: it does not mention D Ribose nor deoxyribose.

I have come to take peeks at Wikipedia, as that site is always dependent on input, sometimes it's great sometimes not, but I do like to look at this source as it's a fascinating idea (contribute if you know and can). Here is it's link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribose.

"D-ribose is often marketed as a supplement for bodybuilders with a common recommended daily dose being 5 g, even though most studies have found no evidence that it is helpful for endurance, recovery or increasing muscle mass in healthy people.^{[citation needed]"}

Most information was found under a sight selling it, so I'll link that too:

Hope this helps a little,
