I took a low dose and gradually added more. I noticed the calves of my legs were starting to swell and my legs felt "hard" like my skin was stretched tight. It was even worse after I took a bike ride. I felt like I was walking on "elephant" legs with odd sensation. I have since stopped the ribose and my legs are back to normal. I was really hoping this stuff would work for me but the side affect is too much to bear. ]]> Fri, 27 Jun 2008 20:53:37 +0100 1683-70 http://www.ei-resource.org/treatment-%11-nutritional-supplements/nutrients-m%11r/d%11ribose-powder/ After reading articles by the doctors mentioned above as well as some of the research regarding the use of D-ribose in heart disease patients I couldn't wait to try it for myself. Through reading about the mechanisms by which D-ribose reportedly increases energy in the body I became convinced that it would be of benefit, at least to some degree. I purchased the Doctor's Best brand which although still quite expensive is great value compared to similar products. I began taking 2.5g of the powder twice per day. Most doctors recommend double this amount to begin with. I found the results to be very good at this low dose so didn't need to up it to 5g. Although it may take a number of days to experience the benefits of D-ribose I noticed positive results on the very first day. I suffer badly from poor mental energy (lack of motivation, mental sluggishness etc) as much or more than poor physical energy and I would describe the effect from D-ribose as 'a light switch being flipped in my brain'. I experienced improved motivation and ability to begin tasks, improved mood and enjoyment of activities, and a general sense of energy and well-being. This effect was maintained over the following week and I also began to experience improved physical energy and less fatigue both during and after activity. The only downside I experienced was that after a while I began to feel over-stimulated but this is something that I often experience with any stimulating supplement and is not likely to be an issue for the majority of people. Other than that I didn't experience any other side-effects. Some reviewers elsewhere have reported that the powder has a bad taste but I didn't find this to be the case. It is a mild, sweet tasting powder. I have tasted much worse! I would cetainly recommend that anyone suffering from CFS or other fatigue related illness give D-ribose a trial as it may produce profound improvements. ]]> Tue, 25 Mar 2008 17:00:27 +0000
