Bioenergy Ribose, a 5-carbon monosaccharide, received novel food authorisation from the European Food and Safety Authority (EFSA) in 2019. The ingredient works by regulating the body’s natural energy synthesis. It helps muscles regenerate lost energy, and to reduce muscle soreness.
Bioenergy Ribose has more than 30 issued or pending patents, and its benefits are documented by more than 110 clinical studies. Its safety is evidenced by its GRAS status (including a “no questions letter” from the FDA). Bioenergy Ribose also meets or exceeds many quality standards that include Grade-A Level Certification from the BRC and kosher certification. It’s also Non-GMO Project Verified and gluten-free.
