I have fibromyalgia and have a cabinet full of supplements I've tried and given up on. This is the one supplement that I can definitely tell helps. I take one before bed and I sleep and wake without the pain and horrible stiffness I usually have. These are not a 24 or 12 hour pill though. To continue to feel benefits you've got to take them throughout the day. I thought to rate this as I was adding it to my cart to reorder. I almost NEVER get through a bottle of supplements because there really haven't been many that help. The fact that I've not only been through a bottle but that I'm ordering more is a sign of the incredible difference this simple sugar makes in my life. I'm glad I tried it! Worth every penny!

I had been looking to try a D-Ribose supplement to see if it would help with my chronic fatigue and Fibromyalgia. I have tried many.... MANY... supplements in hopes of getting just a taste of the energy that I used to have, so I'll admit that my hopes were not especially high for this one. After just a few days of taking it, I noticed that my body was not nearly as tired after a retail shift on my feet. I generally take about 14,000 steps per day, and I feel every one of them.... this supplement has really made it easier for me to get through my day to day. I hope that I can get to the point where I can start to go to the gym, or at least get a full workout without needing a day to recover, and I think I just may have found the right supplement in a sea of choices.

I purchased these to help with my fibromyalgia. I didn’t not see much difference in pain levels, but I did notice improvement in my energy levels. I took one capsule 3 times a day. I would recommend these to someone suffering from fibromyalgia to try, the benefit was definitely worth it! Read more

Hmmm —my apologies. I didn’t know people used this for pain relief, so we didn’t track this.We initially started my husband on this when he got out of the hospital. He had a cardiac arrest at home, and it was 15 min before the ambulance was there. He was comatose for 10 days, in ICU for 3 weeks and in the hospital for almost 2 months. He was very weak (and dazed) when he got home. We used the d-ribose to help his brain, heart and kidneys as he slowly came back to himself. Finding it in a stronger dose has been a Godsend as he objected to the large number of supplements I was putting in front of him each day. As it is, I have him on 6 to 8 d-ribose a day (+ Vits w/min and cardiac supplements), but he is much stronger now (walks 2 - 3 miles/day) and is functioning well. The doctor is pleased and I’m happy to (almost) have him still improving as time goes by. Read more

This is a great supplement! Reasonably-priced and works well. I was dragging terribly in the mid-afternoon, but not now. No more feeling like I HAVE to get a nap every day! Read more

I have restless leg syndrome. I am trying to find natural help to support me. I heard about this supplement and tried it. It doesn’t totally relieve the restless legs but it can take the edge off so I don’t need to take pharmaceuticals as often. Read more

For approximately a year and a half I used this supplement to deal with a long-term health problem. They were very helpful for a time; I made a lot of progress. However, about 6 months ago I started to feel strangly ill in a way I was unfamiliar with. After doing some research I found out these pills use rice powder, which according to some websites, contains 10 times more arsenic than other natural fillers. Shortly after switching to a new D-Ribose supplement my health again continued to improve and the strange illness quickly subsided.I am not blaming BoostCeuticals because frankly I don't even know if this was the cause. What I do know is that switching to a different supplement of the same dose saw an immediate recovery. Therefore, I cannot in good conscience continue to recommend a product which my own body has apparently rejected. Read more

I like using these for travel, very convenient compared with loose powder. This is a high-quality ribose at a great price. Nice for keeping my HBA1C at a good level, and it completely gets rid of my restless leg at night. Read more
