D-Ribose occurs widely in nature. It forms backbone of RNA, a biopolymer that is the basis of genetic transcription. It is related to deoxyribose, as found in DNA. Once phosphorylated, ribose can become a subunit of ATP, NADH, and several other compounds that are critical to metabolism.

D-Ribose is a carbohydrate used by cells for body's energy production. It plays a critical role in the production of ATP, which provides the energy for short burst of power movements during workout. Some studies have found D-ribose increase endurance, recovery and muscle output in healthy individuals. D-Ribose is also marketed as a stress relief ingredient.
