Special Dietary Usefulness as a Medical Food
Under a physician’s direction, RibosCardio™ may have special dietary usefulness for individuals suffering from energy-draining conditions, such as heart disease, Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and Lyme disease. Published research has also shown D-Ribose effective in extending endurance exercise & increasing exercise tolerance, and muscle recovery from high intensity exercise.

RibosCardio™ has been designed to support serious energy needs of patients. The product has been formulated with CardioPerform™, a potent blend of L-carnitine (transports fuel into the heart to be burned as energy) and Acetyl L-carnitine (improves heart & brain health, protecting against oxidative damage), plus the patented form of D-Ribose, malic acid and magnesium gluconate to optimize energy production and synthesis.

Published research shows our patented form of D-ribose may be an effective adjunct in promoting cardiovascular, skeletal muscle, and neurological health. With heart patients, D-ribose has been found effective in restoring energy, improving ventilatory efficiency, oxygen uptake, stroke volume, diastolic function, physical performance, and quality of life. In neuromuscular disease, D-ribose helps to reduce pain, overcome fatigue, increase exercise tolerance, and help patients live more normal, active lives.

RibosCardio™'s magnesium gluconate and malic acid help your body use energy more efficiently. Your cells use magnesium in over 300 enzyme reactions, and it distributes energy evenly throughout the cell so it is available when and where it is needed. Malic Acid helps your mitochondria recycle the energy you have, maximizing cellular energy output.

D-Ribose Research Highlights
Cardiovascular Function: Scientific and clinical studies have repeatedly shown that our patented D-Ribose can restore energy and improve function in ischemic, hypoxic, and failing hearts. Oxygen deprivation causes hearts to use energy faster than it can be replaced through normal processes of tissue energy turnover. The result is a depletion of cellular energy reserves translating to a loss of heart function.

Mid-study results of an ongoing double blind, crossover trial with congestive heart failure patients were recently reported. Results showed conclusively that when patients were given ribose (15 grams per day for three weeks) they had improved diastolic heart function, increased physical function score and enhanced quality of life score. Echocardiographic studies of these patients showed that ribose administration enhanced relaxation of the left ventricle and improved the efficiency of filling from the left atrium. No such improvements were found during placebo administration (3).

RibosCardio™ increases cardiac energy to help fuel the heart. For patients, this can mean more energy and a higher quality of life.

Sports Nutrition:
In skeletal muscle, high-intensity exercise can lead to a loss of up to 26% of cellular adenosine triphosphate, or ATP. One consequence of this energy drain is an increase in free radicals in affected muscle. Free radicals attack cell and mitochondrial membranes and can destroy the genetic material that helps muscle tissues synthesize proteins.

RibosCardio™ helps in three ways:
First, if enough ribose is present in the cell or the circulating blood, energy compounds can be saved, or salvaged, before they wash out of the cell and are lost.

Second, ribose accelerates energy synthesis, so if energy compounds are lost, they can be quickly replaced.

Finally, by keeping the energy compounds in the cell, RibosCardio™ reduces free radical formation and preserves the energy the tissue needs to make proteins essential for maintaining muscle health and performance. This energy improvement has been shown to increased performance over time.
A study published in the journal, Current Therapeutic Research, showed that male recreational bodybuilders experienced a significant improvement in both muscular endurance (20% increase over the four weeks versus a 12% for the placebo group) and muscular endurance (3.2% increase over the four weeks versus a 1.7% for the placebo group) following 28 days of our patented D-Ribose supplementation(1).

Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome:
The muscle in patients with FMS and CFS is generally severely energy starved. This lack of energy leads to a number of physiological reactions within the muscle cell, ending in debilitating fatigue, muscle pain, soreness, and stiffness. By increasing the energy level in affected muscle, our patented D-Ribose helps patients overcome fatigue, and lessens the pain associated with their conditions.

Jar Size:
421 grams (15 oz) 28 day supply

GINGER CURE FOR MUSCLE PAIN

GINGER CURE FOR MUSCLE PAIN
You’ve experienced muscle soreness after a workout, right? You give it your all at the gym, on the tennis court, in the pool -- and then, ouch. Well, here’s an easy, safe, natural and inexpensive cure that will mean you don’t have to treat yourself so gingerly -- take ginger!
Long used in traditional Indian and Chinese medicine as a remedy for ailments such as nausea, indigestion, flatulence, flu, diarrhea, motion sickness and osteoarthritis, ginger (Zingiber officinale) now has been scientifically proven to be helpful in relieving muscle pain and soreness. A new study shows that taking daily doses of ginger can ease the aches and pains that follow strenuous exercise.

THE GINGER STUDY
Researchers at the University of Georgia studied whether daily doses of ginger can inhibit exercise-related muscle pain. One group of 34 participants consumed capsules filled with two grams of raw (untreated) ginger (this is equivalent to the 500-mg capsules of raw ginger sold in health-food stores). A second group of 40 people took two grams of heat-treated ginger (earlier studies had shown that heating ginger may increase its pain-relieving properties). A third group took a placebo. All participants consumed their capsules for 11 consecutive days -- seven days before... the day of... and three days after a high-intensity weight-lifting session (designed to induce muscle pain and inflammation) performed on the eighth day.
Measuring several different variables, including effort and pain intensity (reported by participants)... range of motion... strength... and levels of prostaglandins (inflammation-mediators involved in pain), researchers found that...
• Participants taking daily raw ginger supplements reported 25% less exercise-induced pain than the placebo group.
• Participants taking daily heat-treated ginger had 23% less pain than the placebo group.

WHY GINGER HELPS
Patrick O’Connor, PhD, led the research study. He told me that ginger works much like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen) do, by inhibiting prostaglandin production. Unlike NSAIDs, ginger also serves to desensitize a type of pain receptor found in the peripheral nerves known as TRPV1 and it also reduces the body’s production of inflammatory chemicals called cytokines, said Dr. O’Connor. These results were published in the September 2010 issue of The Journal of Pain.
Muscle aches and pains are common among athletes -- particularly serious ones, older ones and weekend warriors. If you fall into any of those categories, you may want to consider taking ginger to minimize your post-workout agony. Although this study didn’t test the efficacy of ginger against NSAIDs, Dr. O’Connor told me that the study participants experienced greater pain relief than did those in similar tests of ibuprofen and naproxen, but without the NSAID-related risks of stomach irritation and ulcers.

TRY IT AT HOME
If you’d like to give this a try, Dr. O’Connor suggests purchasing ginger capsules that contain a standardized extract with a gingerol content of 5%. Take one two-gram daily dose for several days before and after planned workouts.

If you love the taste of ginger: Kitchen equivalents are as follows -- a two-gram dose of raw ginger in capsule form is roughly equivalent to one teaspoon of powdered ginger... 2 milliliters (about one-half teaspoon) of ginger extract ... or (my favorite) one tablespoon of finely chopped fresh ginger.

Primary fibromyalgia (FM) is a condition affecting principally middle-aged women, characterized by a syndrome of generalized musculoskeletal pain, aches, stiffness, and tenderness at specific anatomical sites. This condition is considered primary when there are no obvious causes. Since it was first described, FM has become recognized as a fairly common rheumatic complaint with a clinical prevalence of 6 to 20 percent. Additionally, FM has been associated with irritable bowel syndrome, tension headache, mitral valve prolapse, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Numerous treatment modalities have been attempted to treat patients with FM, but unfortunately the results have usually been poor. The primary reason for this lack of success was undoubtedly due to our lack of understanding FMs etiology.

In recent years, evidence has accumulated to suggest that FM is the result of local hypoxia in the muscles. For instance, patients with FM have low muscle-tissue oxygen pressure in affected muscles, and to a lesser degree the same was found in other tissues. Muscle biopsies from affected areas showed muscle tissue breakdown and mitochondrial damage. Additionally, low levels of the high energy phosphates ATP, ADP, and phosphocreatine were found.

It has been hypothesized that in hypoxic muscle tissues glycolysis is inhibited, reducing ATP synthesis. This stimulates the process of gluconeogenesis, which results in the breakdown of muscle proteins to amino acids that can be utilized as substrates for ATP synthesis. This muscle tissue breakdown, which has been observed in muscle biopsies taken from FM patients, is hypothesized to result in the muscle pain characteristic of FM.

Malic acid is both derived from food sources and synthesized in the body through the citric acid (Krebs) cycle. Its importance to the production of energy in the body during both aerobic and anaerobic conditions is well established. Under aerobic conditions, the oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate provides reducing equivalents to the mitochondria through the malate-aspartate redox shuttle. During anaerobic conditions, where a buildup of excess of reducing equivalents inhibits glycolysis, malic acids simultaneous reduction to succinate and oxidation to oxaloacetate is capable of removing the accumulating reducing equivalents. This allows malic acid to reverse hypoxias inhibition of glycolysis and energy production. This may allow malic acid to improve energy production in FM, reversing the negative effect of the relative hypoxia that has been found in these patients.Because of its obvious relationship to energy depletion during exercise, malic acid may be of benefit to healthy individuals interested in maximizing their energy production, as well as those with FM.

In the rat it has been found that only tissue malate is depleted following exhaustive physical activity. Other key metabolites from the citric acid cycle needed for energy production were found to be unchanged. Because of this, a deficiency of malic acid has been hypothesized to be a major cause of physical exhaustion. The administration of malic acid to rats has been shown to elevate mitochondrial malate and increase mitochondrial respiration and energy production. Surprisingly, relatively small amounts of exogenous malic acid were required to increase mitochondrial energy production and ATP formation.

Under hypoxic conditions there is an increased demand and utilization of malic acid, and this demand is normally met by increasing the synthesis of malic acid through gluconeogenesis and muscle proteinbreakdown. This ultimately results in muscle breakdown and damage.In a study on the effect of the oral administration of malic acid to rats, a significant increase in anaerobic endurance was found. Interestingly, the improvement in endurance was not accompanied by an increase in carbohydrate and oxygen utilization, suggesting that malic acid has carbohydrate and oxygen-sparing effects. In addition, malic acid is the only metabolite of the citric acid cycle positively correlated with physical activity. It has also been demonstrated that exercise-induced mitochondrial respiration is associated with an accumulation of malic acid.

In humans, endurance training is associated with a significant increase in the enzymes involved with malic acid metabolism.Because of the compelling evidence that malic acid plays a central role in energy production, especially during hypoxic conditions, malic acid supplements have been examined for their effects on FM. Subjective improvement in pain was observed within 48 hours of supplementation with 1200 - 2400 milligrams of malic acid, and this improvement was lost following the discontinuation of malic acid for 48 hours.

While these studies also used magnesium supplements, due to the fact that magnesium is often low in FM patients, the rapid improvement following malic acid, as well as the rapid deterioration after discontinuation, suggests that malic acid is the most important component. This interesting theory of localized hypoxia in FM, and the ability of malic acid to overcome the block in energy production that this causes, should provide hope for those afflicted with FM.

The potential for malic acid supplements, however, reaches much farther than FM. In light of malic acids ability to improve animal exercise performance, its potential for human athletes is particularly exciting.Additionally, many hypoxia related conditions, such as respiratory and circulatory insufficiency, are associated with deficient energy production. Therefore, malic acid supplements may be of benefit in these conditions.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has also been found to be associated with FM, and malic acid supplementation may be of use in improving energy production in this condition as well. Lastly, malic acid may be of use as a general supplement aimed at ensuring an optimal level of malic acid within the cells, and thus, maintaining an optimal level of energy production.
