It kinda surprises me how uncommon it is to find info on negative effects, despite the studies mentioned at the end (spatial memory issues, Aβ deposits in the hippocampus, anxiety-like behavior, etc.)… This looks like a dangerous supplement in the long term IMO, and it’s still generally considered “safe”.

Yesterday I bought a bottle of powdered D-Ribose, because of positive testimonials I had seen. Upon taking about one teaspoon of it I got an immediate headache and sudden fatigue. Took a lirtrle less of it later, and got the sme result. Took it back to health food store and got a refund! It seems to have my blood sugar to drop instantly.

“By inducing protein aggregation and rapidly producing AGEs (advanced glycation end products), D-ribose may be involved in cell dysfunction and cognitive impairments…”
Can you explain this statement to me a bit? The whole “AGEs” thing…has something to do with overcooking/browning/charring meat, right? So how does d-ribose play into this?

I’m trying to find out what exactly this stuff is made from and , if possible, how it is made. I very glad it is helping people but the science is so new. Is it (gmo) corn that is highly processed (super heated?) ? Is it physically addictive? It is so expensive. Why?

A little alarmed at the stated side effects, but equally grateful I went online with the keywords to look for further information and arrived at: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26452037 which is probably where you got your information from, too, Joe, respect for finding it. I will have to read it several times and probably do a little more research before I decide on how much and how often to take this, – I only just bought myself a small pack to trial it again, after suffering digestive troubles last time round. I loved the energetic and pain killing effects so much, that I wanted to try it again but taking it with food, and perhaps less of it. It was so good to feel some power surging through my limbs.. thanks for the article, it’s good to be informed.

You state some rather alarming issues for side effects but don’t provide any backup for those claims. In what I’ve read so far, the side effects may be gastrointestinal problems and/or lowering blood glucose, especially in those taking diabetic medications. If there is some documentation backing up your claims for the serious side effects you state above, you should indicate the source so that interested readers can research it and make informed decisions. I was interested to see the possible benefits but alarmed by what you have listed as side effects, especially without any documentation.

My doctor said I should take 2 teaspoons full in water or juice twice a day…it did not agree with me.
He also said that the more enlightened cardiac specialists are using the d ribose along with Hawthorn berry
and CoQ10 for their patients. D ribose having a great capacity to nourish heart muscle.
I put 1/2 a teaspoon into my 600ml water bottle and drink that amount over a few hours always in the morning.
It does have a strengthening effect on your heart and does allow more exercise.
I may increase it into the future. Apparently d ribose gets used up by the body very quickly hence my taking it over a period of time.
it is not a sugar that puts weight on. its about finding the dose and method of ingestion that suits you.
it appears to have an effect on the skin of my face …complexion goes off. …
