15 Jan 2024 --- Bioenergy highlights the potential of its ribose ingredient in supporting metabolic health by helping the body maintain healthy levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This nucleic acid plays a central role in healthy cell functioning. Aging, diseases and diets containing fructose — a commonly used food ingredient — may lower ATP levels. The energy from ATP fuels many cellular activities and processes, such as active transport across cell membranes, cell signaling, protein synthesis and muscle contraction.
