Not D-Ribose
I bought this product because Swanson's recommended it when I searched for Natrol's D-Ribose. It is NOT the same as D-Ribose so they should not be recommending it as a substitute. I use D-Ribose for energy and it has changed my life, adding pep back into my day so I can get tasks done. After a week of using this product, I am so tired I can hardly do anything. I am ordering the real thing as soon as possible so I can get my life back! This product is worthless and I want my money back.

GREAT PRODUCT
ONLY ONE PROBLEM THE SCOOP IS TO SHORT
January 20, 2012
Container has problems
I have used Ribose for over a year and find it very effective. I do have a complaint, however, about the new container. It is taller and more narrow than the previous container. I am a woman with small hands and I find it difficult to get my hand into the container and locate the scoop. Your previous container caused me NO problem.

Yea for Ribose, Nea for container
We take Ribose daily and find it to help our energy. And for a couple in our 60s, that's important! Now, with this last order you switched the container from a nice compact plastic jar to a much taller plastic jar with a smaller opening, which makes it much harder to reach in and fill the scoop, even though the amount of Ribose stayed the same. I have rather small hands for a man, but this doesn't work well. Even my petite wife has difficulty getting her hand in. The smaller jar allowed me to simply use my fingers to find and fill the scoop. Please switch back. The container shouldn't discourage the use of a great product.

Really Like It
I do really like this product. I have tried many others by various manufacturers and this is my favorite by far.

Great supplement
Really good supplement but it comes in a container that is 5 3/4" tall and is only filled up about half way. That wouldn't be a problem if the scoop that comes with the product had a long handle but the handle is only 1 1/4" long. My recommendation is either use a shorter container since all the extra space isn't used or put a longer handle on the enclosed scoop. Overall an excellent supplement and does seem to help my energy and mood, highly recommend.

Cardiovascular staple
Have been taking D-Ribose for a few years now for heart health along with Ubiguinol and Carnitine mostly. Felt so good with this combo that I cut back on the doseage to 1 scoop per day maintenance for quite a while with no problems. Later on I got stingy and decided to save a buck and quit the Ribose all together. BIG MISTAKE! Reordered more today. Enough said.? Great product in my opinion.

One of the best on the market
I just wanted to let you know that I tried this product once a few months ago and really didn't notice much of an effect.
That of course as I have recently learned is because I am was to much of a tight wad and didn't use enough of the product.
I have been increasing my exercise routine this year because I was tired of the way I felt and looked for the last few years.
I did lots of research before I began this fitness/ bulking routine in early January.
To get the full effects of d-ribose you have to used enough of the product.
I used to skimp on using maybe 5 grams in a day in smoothies and other beverages.
Now I use at least 10 to 20 grams a day.
I used to get extremely tired on the treadmill around the 30 minute mark in a 60 minute walk/run.
Now just after my warm-up routine and getting the shoes on and the treadmill ready I put 1 teaspoon of d-ribose under my tongue to slowly dissolve over a ten minute period or so while I am on the treadmill.
At the 30 minute mark as the glucose is used up from my muscles, something else takes over its just as if your energy does not stop it is just amazing.
After the workouts before using ribose I used to be exhausted, pretty much for the rest of the day. Now after using d-ribose I feel alive and rejuvenated. I can do things all day with what seems unlimited energy, like in my twenties and then some.
My heart feels great the harder I push and I just never really seem to be without energy.
After my workouts I will make a organic fruit smoothie in a blender using all the power fruits. Blueberries, kiwi's, cranberries, raspberries, banana's, ground up in some fresh squeezed orange juice and some 100% organic pomegranate juice.
Just before blending in goes a scoop of 5 grams of d-ribose and yum yum yum.
It is important to drink this down within an hour after your workout to get the full benefits of restoring the essential nutrients to your cells.
Just before bed another 5 grams of d-ribose maybe in a protein drink or mixed with your evening tea and good night baby.
I'm telling you stuff is no joke, if you give it a try for around a month or so you will not go without it again.
Your friends will be asking what you have changed, you seem more energetic and full of life.
Give it a try if you are not willing to spend a few bucks on yourself for that feeling of well being then what are you willing to spend it on.

Don't buy it
I tried this stuff for a month. You might feel a little bit of energy, but I get a better effect with Swansons Energy Boost capsules, which are time released. For the expense, you are much better off without it.
February 16, 2011
I read all the literature on the products that interest me, if it is convincing I buy it and try it. This product does work for me. I recommended to all sports oriented individuals.

ribose
I just started taking the ribose and almost immedieatly could tell a difference. Mind became more alert and clear. Missed taking it a couple days and had a loss of energy. Would recommend this product.

Good product
I bought this product because I incorporate weight lifting in my workouts and have noticed my workouts are stronger and an increase in muscle mass. Have used d-ribose capsules in the past but never noticed any difference in workout performance with the capsules.

Great product!
I bought this product for my 99 year old mother. It has greatly improved her mobility and energy. Her outlook has changed dramatically. This product would cost 3 times more elsewhere!!

good product
I've just started my 2nd jar. I sleep less and have a more 'can do' attitude. The product has a very faint maple/sweet taste; so it can be easily taken with just water. I have mixed it with a smoothie or just had it in tea. I will be taking it from now on.

Energie
My Husband took Ribose the first Day he was so happy about it .Now he can walk up the Hill without any Problem.He'd say I feel as i would be 20 {he turned 79}.I take only halve the amount,I feel very energetic.

would not want to be without it
Unbelievable difference in how I feel on a daily basis. A huge improvement in my muscle and joint health. I ran out for a few days, a couple times and was back to the 'same old'.
My job requires me to lift heavy parts, and there are times when I feel I can't lift another thing...then I take my ribose and I'm good to go for the rest of the shift...amazing! I surfed the web, thoroughly, for pricing and Swanson wins hands down.
As for lumps,folks, merely give the jar a vigorous shake before use!

It's helping!
When I combine this with creatine I find that I don't reach tha point I have to push through when I'm working out. I am able to sustain my energy throughout the workout. Powders are not my favorite way of taking products which is why I gave it a lower convenience score, but I think taking this as a powder is the best way.

Ribose
Helps support my energy levels. Mild taste.
September 12, 2009
good for energy
Both my husband and I felt a definite increase in energy levels when we started taking ribose regularly. Don't worry if it's a little clumped up when you open the jar - it's not hurt, and is easily broken up with a fork. It tastes great in tea or smoothies, on cereal or yogurt. It works just as well as more expensive brands, so why pay more? <g>

Must- have for energy
I take this every day, and it does increase my energy level. It is helpful for my heart, also. I would definitely recommend it.

Ribose is great product and value
I really like the D-Ribose from Swanson. It is a bulk amount (enough to last me a month) and very competatively priced. It is the best deal I have found on this important heart health product.

Best supplement I've ever taken.
After only 3 days of taking it I noticed that half way through my weightlifting routine I wasn't dragging the way I usually do. After a few weeks I noticed how much my strength increased. I am also swimming 30 to 45 minutes, non-stop, after my lifting. I'm 55 years old and I'm starting the old power lifting routines I used to do back in the '70s. I do 20 grams on workout days and 10 on off days. I'm also up in the morning and raring to go. I decided to test it out and quit taking it for a week. I started feeling weaker and less energetic after about 5 days. I'll never do without this supplement again.

Great Find
After working out, consistantly taking this product helps my system rebound faster. I find Swanson Vitamin's price to be the best I could find.

Great for Older Exercisers
I take a little of this every day with my fiber. It makes exercising easier for me. I recover faster, the same as I did when I was 25.
July 22, 2009
D-Ribose powder best value
The product is a super value for 300 grams and I have not been able to match the price anywhere. I take 10 grams a day as part of the "awesome foursome" and this makes it affordable. My only dissatisfaction with the product is that it sometimes comes lumpy and I have to crush it before using. Maybe one of the moisture capsules would keep it from doing that.
