"I want to thank for selling Corvalen at such a great price. I wouldn't be able to be as productive without it. It makes my FMS more bearable. I recently spent a week with my 2 young grandsons (2.5 and 4.5 years old). I wouldn't have been able to do it without Corvalen. And I wouldn't be able to use it as much as I do without your great prices! Thanks again." Catherine
CORvalen contains pure Bioenergy RIBOSE to help your body make more energy. This unique, safe, and clinically proven ingredient accelerates your body's own natural process of energy synthesis. Ribose is a five-carbon monosaccharide that is vital for the cellular synthesis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Adenosine triphosphate is the energy of life and ribose is one of the fundamental building blocks of ATP. Supplemental ribose has been proven to effectively speed energy recovery in cells, represented in improved cardiac function, muscle recovery and overall quality of life.
Corvalen D-Ribose, a naturally occurring five-carbon sugar, is made by the body to synthesize many important compounds, including DNA, RNA, and most importantly, ATP, the "energy currency" of the cells. ATP is critical to health and maintaining normal energy-dependent body functions.
Ribose is the essential component in the making of ATP. Weil says, "Because ATP is rapidly used by muscles in highintensity workouts and because RNA is important in protein synthesis, ribose supplements and energy drinks containing ribose are being promoted for energy enhancement and better exercise performance."
Discover other life enhancing benefits associated with D-ribose. For example, Dr. Weil says that "emerging evidence does suggest that they [ribose supplements] benefit patients with congestive heart failure . . . In a study at the University of Bonn, ribose appears to
improve heart function and quality of life among these patients by increasing levels and availability of ATP."
In addition to its restorative properties for heart health Dr. Weil points out that "ribose may ease the pain and fatigue of patients with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Referencing a study published last year in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, Dr. Weil says that "patients who took five grams of ribose three times a day for an average of 28 days reported less muscle soreness and stiffness, better ability to overcome fatigue, and simply feeling better." He also indicates that "further studies suggest that ribose may also help improve exercise tolerance in high intensity activities."
Corvalen D-Ribose amplifies the body's natural response to metabolic stress, protects tissues from oxygen deprivation, and stimulates recovery following a hypoxic or ischemic insult. For healthy people this translates to more energy and less fatigue, greater exercise performance over time, and faster recovery from exercise or overexertion. For those with compromised heart or muscle function it means they can do more and enjoy a higher quality of life. No other compound, including natural bioactive compounds or drugs, can replace D-ribose in its important metabolic role in the body.
Dr. Weil recommends for those who find ribose beneficial that they limit their intake to no more than five grams three times a day. Although ribose is made naturally inside the body, its production is slow and limited by several enzymes that are in short supply in heart and muscle cells. Normally, this is not a problem except when hearts or muscles are challenged by the stress of exercise or lack of oxygen due to cardiovascular disease, circulatory disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia. If the energy metabolism process isn't working properly, it drains energy reserves and depletes the cellular energy pool. This frequently leads to pain, soreness, stiffness and an overall feeling of fatigue. Supplementing these stressed cells with D-ribose restores cellular energy.
