What if Im not an athlete or have heart problems, should I still consider ribose?
A. Absolutely, for those of us that are not athletes and are going about our everyday lives, ribose supplements should be considered. If you occasionally overexert say while doing yard work or having fun on the weekends, you know there will be a price to pay with sore muscles. The older we get, the less it takes to get sore and longer it takes for the misery to pass. Taking ribose prior to, during and after overexertion will reduce the intensity of the discomfort as well as shorten the recovery time.
