Testimonials
"Hi!My mom usually corresponds on my behalf to order CorvalenM.She mentioned my success with it the other day on the phone while ordering and you asked I write a success story, so here it is.I have been ill for over two years.I have Lyme disease and became so severely fatigued to the point that I did not have the stamina to make it through a short trip to the grocery store.My right leg is more severely affected and so I limp.Frankly, for the brief distance that I could walk, I walked like a drunk, running into walls, holding onto things for balance and such and then my legs simply would not support my weight anymore so I had no choice but to use the motorized cart.That formerly easy 30 paces walk from the parking lot to the store was now a daunting task.I had to use my Mom's arm for a crutch/cane.In fact, every distance seemed so much longer than before.And I haven't even mentioned the flight of steps that awaited me at home that loomed so ominously over me, they never looked so steep.I wound up either pulling myself up the stairs by the railing, getting a hold of my pants leg and moving my leg to each next step, or just crawling up and dragging my legs behind me.Then, as part of my treatment program, my Dr. prescribed CorvalenM, once in the morning and once in the evening, a few months ago.I have been taking it faithfully and have noticed substantial improvement.For the most part my walking appears normal which is saying quite a bit in comparison to my former condition.I can walk up the stairs, walk a straight line, and even jump a little off the floor.I recently went to my cousin's wedding and, with an extra dose or two, I was, much to my surprise, able to dance which, without this product, would have been completely impossible. We call it the magic juice.I'm so relieved to find a product that really works!Thank you so much!"Sincerely, Stephanie K.
“Fibroplex & CorvalenM has helped with the aches and pains of fibromyalgia and chronic myofascial pain. I can do more than I did before taking these products. All of the Metagenics supplements are high quality and I would recommend them to anyone.”Vicki, Dublin, CA
"I am 60 years old and have been taking CorvalenM for 2 weeks.I do mild exercising at home about 5 days a week for 20-30 minutes each time.Today for the first time I was able to continue lifting the dumbbells without getting tired and I was able to continue jumping on the Rebounder without getting tired.I remember thinking, "wow this is neat, and I’m not getting tired".I look forward to more effortless exercising.Thank you to the makers of CorvalenM and to your staff at Jes Collection for the help and information.."Peggy in Florida
"Here's my story with the MyocalmPM.I'd been taking Restoril for at least 3years nonstop for sleep.And still not sleeping terrifically every night.I had not realized it was addictive, either.So, when you suggested the MyocalmPM, I gave it a try.I cut my Restoril capsules in half for a week, and took that together with the MyocalmPM.After the week, I quit the Restoril and have been taking the MyocalmPM since - about 2 more weeks.I fall asleep easily, stay asleep (except when the cat is pushy) and, as long as I can get 7 hours sleep per night (not staying up late when I have to get up early) I'm starting to wake up feeling rested.I'm so glad you recommended it!Taking the Corvalen twice daily has made a difference, too!Thanks for everything” Susan, San Diego
"I have a disease where the muscles in my arms and legs deteriorate slowly over time. As a result it makes me very tired/fatigued. After a few hours of running errands, playing golf or walking/standing for long periods all I could do was sit quietly at home because I was completely exhausted. However, since taking CorvalenM this has changed. Now physical activity does not exhaust me. But if I don’t take the CorvalenM the effect is immediate and the exhaustion returns.I am thankful for CorvalenM.It has enabled me to have a more normal life.I have been taking CorvalenM for almost a year."Walt Huff, June 2007
“I was practically bedridden with pain and fatigue that required narcotics for the pain. My pain and fatigue were horrendous. After taking CorvalenM, I am up and running around with friends and I am taking hardly any narcotics now for the pain.It is like a miracle!” Laura, San Diego
"Recently, my husband and I started our own business.I was worried how I was going to do it, since I am so low energy.Thanks to CorvalenM twice a day I am able to work 10-12 hours a day.This is something I never would have been able to do without it.Thanks JES Collection!"-- Melissa, Tustin
"My rheumatologist had recommended a stretching program for my fibromyalgia, but even gentle stretches left my muscles tighter and in more pain.After taking CorvalenM my muscles started to loosen while stretching resulting in more comfort when I sit and stand."Anne, San Diego
"I use the CorvalenM and now I don't feel like I have to take a nap in the afternoon."Barbara, San Diego
Ribose Bringing Energy to Life
Energy is at the center of our life. Our bodies need energy - lots of energy - to function normally. Whether you're a weekend warrior or pro athlete, active professional or aging Baby Boomer, worn out parent or exhausted grandparent, CORvalen products can help you restore energy, speed recovery, and enhance or maintain physical performance. Whether you need to bring energy to your heart, overcome fatigue, reduce the pain and soreness of tired muscles, help offset the effects of aging, improve exercise tolerance, or enhance physical performance, CORvalen products will give you the energy you need to feel good to enjoy a normal, active life.
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 helps your body make adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the "energy currency" of the cell. Aging, strenuous exercise or overexertion, and many metabolic or physiological conditions can drain ATP from your tissue and affect how well your body makes and uses energy. Taking CORvalen every day helps the body restore this lost energy.
As a product extension of CORvalen, a medical food used in clinics and hospitals, CORvalenM was created to help those suffering from myalgia and chronic fatigue. Individuals have claimed that by taking this supplement, they have noticed an increase in their energy level, reduced their soreness and stiffness, and decreased their fatigue. CORvalenM is a natural energy supplement that may offer a lifestyle improvement.
CORvalenM contains pure Bioenergy RIBOSE to help your cells and tissues make the energy they need to stay healthy. It also provides magnesium and malate, vital ingredients your body needs to use energy efficiently. Ribose has been gaining a lot of attention because it has been clinically proven to be critical in rebuilding cellular energy. The result of energy restoration leaves people feeling less pain with more energy. This unique, safe, and clinically proven combination of ingredients accelerates your body's own natural process of energy synthesis and utilization.
Because of the positive effect of CORvalenM in patients afflicted with myalgia, it was soon discovered that active individuals could also reap the benefits of this natural supplement. It has become the common denominator for anyone needing to restore cellular energy. A variety of conditions can leave people constantly fatigued, short of breath, stiff and sore, making it difficult to face life's daily activities. As mentioned earlier, certain diseases and overexertion especially weaken muscles and drain energy reserves, leaving people tired and achy. Often, these debilitating symptoms and general lack of well-being are associated with depleted cellular energy levels.Each jar of CORvalen and CORvalenM contains 56 servings, enough to last four weeks when taking two servings per day.
CORvalenM: D-Ribose, magnesium and malic acid, the active ingredients in CORvalenM work together to help your body naturally make energy and use it efficiently. Energy is critical to your health and healthy lifestyle, and ribose is what your cells need to make energy. Hearts, muscles and every other cell in your body use a lot of energy and ribose keeps them fully charged. Magnesium and malate in CORvalenM help your body use its energy efficiently.
Speeds energy recovery
Promotes healthy use of energy in tissues
Reduces pain, muscle pain, soreness and stiffness
Also beneficial for neuromuscular conditions & fibromyalgia, congestive heart failure
CORvalenM is proven safe, effective and beneficial to those needing to restore energy, minimize fatigue and alleviate muscle pain, soreness and stiffness brought on by energy depletion. Even though your body makes ribose naturally, it does so slowly. Factors such as age, illness, strenuous or infrequent exercise, and overwork can seriously drain energy reserves. That can leave you feeling fatigued, sore and exhausted. CORvalenM gives your body what it needs to restore energy and keep energy levels high. CORvalenM will help you get energy when you need it most. Chronically energy-starved cells may never fully recover, but CORvalenM accelerates this recovery as a natural supplement. The results can be dramatic!
If you are taking CORvalen or CORvalenM for fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue syndromes, the recommended dose per Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D. is as follows: start with one scoop (5000 mg.) three times a day for 3 weeks, then decrease to a scoop 2 times a day. Lower the dose if you get hyper from being too energized.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is ribose?
D-Ribose (or simply ribose) is a simple, 5-carbon monosaccharide, or pentose sugar. It is used by all the cells of the body and is an essential compound in energy metabolism. Ribose also provides the structural backbone of our genetic material, DNA and RNA, certain vitamins and other important cellular compounds.
Who needs supplemental ribose?
Everyone needs ribose. It is an essential ingredient in stimulating natural energy production. Research has shown that ribose promotes cardiovascular health, reduces cardiac stress associated with strenuous activity and helps athletes reach new heights. Ribose helps hearts and muscles maintain healthy energy levels, and it accelerates energy recovery when tissues are stressed by strenuous exercise, overwork, or disease. Whether you are a trained athlete, a weekend warrior or are concerned about your cardiovascular health, ribose may help give the energy boost your body needs.
How is ribose made in the body?
All the necessary compounds for life are made in the body through a series of complicated biochemical metabolic pathways. Ribose is no different. In the body, ribose is made from glucose (a simple 6-carbonsugar) through a metabolic pathway called the Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP) or Hexose Monophosphate Shunt (HMS). Unfortunately, in heart and muscle cells important enzymes that regulate the activity of this pathway are lacking. As such, forming ribose in heart and muscle cells is a slow process. This delay in ribose synthesis in heart and muscle tissues also delays energy recovery when energy pools have been depleted by disease or exercise.
How does the body derive cellular energy from ribose?
The physiologically functional form of ribose, called 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP), regulates the metabolic pathway that synthesizes energy compounds in all living tissue. This pathway is called the Purine Nucleotide Pathway (PNP). If PRPP is not available in sufficient quantity, energy synthesis slows and tissue recovery is delayed.
How does taking supplemental ribose aid in increasing cellular energy?
If the cellular energy pool is depleted by disease, overwork, or exercise it must be replaced. PRPP is required to stimulate the metabolic pathway used by the body to replenish these energy pools. Supplemental ribose bypasses the slow and rate limiting Pentose Phosphate Pathway, forms PRPP very quickly, and accelerates the process of energy synthesis.
What will ribose do for someone concerned about cardiovascular health?
Numerous medical studies conducted in the U.S. and Europe have shown that energy levels in the heart can be dramatically lowered by exercise, decreased blood flow associated with certain cardiac diseases, or by changes in normal cellular energy metabolism. Depleted cardiac energy stores may be associated with increased cardiac stress, reduced blood flow to the periphery of the body, fatigue, and decreased exercise tolerance. Ribose is the key nutrient for quickly restoring cardiac energy.
What is the recommended daily dosage of ribose?
For energy enhancement, ½ to 1 teaspoon (about 2 – 5 grams) is generally adequate. Bioenergy RIBOSE™ is mildly sweet and completely soluble. It mixes easily with your favorite juice, milk or other cold foods. To maximize athletic performance, or to keep energy pools high during strenuous activity, slightly larger doses may be required. Bioenergy RIBOSE™ should be taken just before and just after exercise or activity. For extended exercise, an additional 1 – 2 grams per hour of exercise or activity may be helpful.
Are there any side effects associated with taking ribose?
Ribose should be taken in doses up to 5 grams (approximately 1 rounded teaspoon) at a time. Multiple5-gram doses separated by 30 – 45 minutes can be taken without side effects. There are two known side effects of taking ribose in doses of 10 grams or more on an empty stomach. The first is a transient hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) that can be eliminated by taking larger doses of ribose with other carbohydrates (such as in juice). The second side effect that may occur in some individuals is loose stools. This side effect has only been reported when very large doses, greater than 10 grams, are taken. Total daily intake of ribose should be limited to 20 grams, or approximately 4 rounded teaspoonfuls.
What will ribose do for someone who exercises on a regular basis?
Scientific research shows that three or four workouts per week may not allow enough rest time between sessions for heart and muscle energy pools to return to normal levels. Taking Bioenergy RIBOSE™ shortens the time needed by heart and muscle tissue to replace energy that is lost through vigorous exercise. Keeping energy pools full helps to keep hearts and muscles in good physiological condition, increase power, and endurance, and reduce fatigue. Recent research has also shown that ribose supplementation during exercise reduces free radical formation and lowers cardiac stress associated with hypoxia.
Does ribose work with creatine or other supplements?
Ribose can increase the effect of creatine and other energy supplements by keeping the energy pool at full capacity. Creatine works by recycling energy that is already present in the tissue. Another supplement, carnitine, aids in fatty acid metabolism. Others, such as pyruvate and coenzyme Q10 help to recycle energy. None of these other supplements, however, help to actually make the energy compounds the cell needs to maintain a healthy energy pool. Only ribose performs this important metabolic function. Unless there are adequate levels of energy to work with, no other supplement can be fully effective. Keep this in mind: Ribose helps the body actually make energy, while other supplements may help the body use energy more efficiently.
Why is the use of ribose on the rise?
Traditionally, ribose has been very expensive to produce making it difficult to offer as a nutritional supplement. New technology has brought production costs down. Ribose is safe and proven effective by many clinical and laboratory studies. Over 70 scientific publications describe the beneficial effects of ribose in hearts and muscles.
Energy is at the center of our life. Our bodies need energy - lots of energy - to function normally. Whether you're a weekend warrior or pro athlete, active professional or aging Baby Boomer, worn out parent or exhausted grandparent, Corvalen d-ribose can help you restore energy, speed recovery, and enhance or maintain physical performance. Whether you need to bring energy to your heart, overcome fatigue, reduce the pain and soreness of tired muscles, help offset the effects of aging, improve exercise tolerance, or enhance physical performance, Corvalen d-ribose will give you the energy you need to feel good to enjoy a normal, active life.
Corvalen contains pure d-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. Corvalen helps your body make adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body's primary energy-carrying molecule. Aging, strenuous exercise or overexertion, and many metabolic or physiological conditions can drain ATP from your tissue and affect how well your body makes and uses energy.
Your body synthesizes a number of chemicals called "nucleotides" to create the chemical energy and energy transporters. When you are under duress, exercising strenuously, or recovering from heart surgery, heart attack or organ transplant surgery, the muscles in your body (including your heart) will have severely depleted levels of these nucleotides. Your body goes through numerous steps to take the food we eat and the air we breathe and turn it into energy for our cells. Chemical reactions involving dozens of steps are not uncommon in order to synthesize ATP.
Taking Corvalen every day helps the body restore this lost energy.
Usage Recommendations:
One level scoop to 6-8 oz of juice or milk taken twice daily, one with each morning and evening meal. As an alternative, many have reported positive results by taking two servings daily, one just before and one just after exercise or activity.
