Why Plantina Ribose?
|
Ribose is continuously necessary for energy. For all muscles and above all for the heart muscle. Ribose is the ‘base material’ for the chemical storage of energy (ATP). The heart needs this substance 24 hours a day. The other muscles need it as soon as demands are placed on them. For example during sport or in periods of stress. |
|
|
Is Plantina Ribose safe?
|
Ribose is entirely safe to take. What the body does not need to produce ATP is secreted in the urine. |
|
|
D-ribose, L-carnitine and coenzyme Q10. Which of the three?
|
The three substances work together, each with their own specific function. It is therefore not possible to clearly determine which substance or combination should be taken by preference. The general recommendation, for a maintenance dose, is to opt for L-carnitine (certainly for vegetarians) and/or coenzyme Q10. For active people (sport), D-ribose is the preferred substance.
