Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Fibromyalgia

...allow malic acid to improve energy production in FM, reversing the negative effect of the relative hypoxia that has been found in these patients

Ribose was added to the existing treatment regimen of a woman with fibromyalgia, resulting in a decrease in symptoms.

The muscle in patients with FMS and CFS is generally severely energy starved. By increasing the energy level in affected muscle, Bioenergy RIBOSE helps patients overcome fatigue, and lessens the pain associated with their conditions.

Widespread muscle pain and tender points are the most common complaints of fibromyalgia patients, and the underlying mechanisms responsible for these symptoms have been studied intensively during the past decade. It has been suggested that fatigue and pain may lead to decreased levels of physical activity in many patients. The resulting deconditioned state may itself contribute to muscle abnormalities. Associated symptoms such as disturbed sleep, anxiety, depression, or irritable bowel also may have a negative impact on muscle function and level of daily activities. The important interactions between the central nervous and musculoskeletal systems may involve another element, the neuroendocrine stress-response system.
