Energy & Fatigue (3)
- Effects of Ubiquinol and/or D-ribose in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
PubMed ID: 35644694
Direct randomized evidence in HFpEF: D‑ribose increased EF, raised ATP and lowered BNP/lactate:ATP ratio—strong support for improving myocardial energy status.
- A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of a Food Supplement Containing Creatine and D-Ribose Combined with a Physical Exercise Program in Increasing Stress Tolerance in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease
PubMed ID: 31861049
Study population had ischemic heart disease and showed improved exercise capacity and peak double product with the supplement, suggesting support for cardiac exercise performance though mechanism attribution to D‑ribose alone is uncertain.
- Pilot randomized trial of an acceptance-based telehealth intervention for women with ovarian cancer and PARP inhibitor-related fatigue
PubMed ID: 37708581
Telehealth intervention RCT showed clinically meaningful reduction in fatigue severity/interference in patients on PARP inhibitors (directly about fatigue reduction, albeit behavioral and not ribose).
Daily comfort (2)
- Effects of Ubiquinol and/or D-ribose in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
PubMed ID: 35644694
KCCQ clinical summary improvements and increased EF in the D‑ribose arm indicate meaningful gains in functional status for HFpEF participants.
- A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of a Food Supplement Containing Creatine and D-Ribose Combined with a Physical Exercise Program in Increasing Stress Tolerance in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease
PubMed ID: 31861049
Objective increases in maximum load and exercise duration indicate better physical function in the study population receiving the supplement containing D‑ribose.
Endurance (2)
- Effects of Ubiquinol and/or D-ribose in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
PubMed ID: 35644694
HFpEF trial demonstrated clinically meaningful symptom and functional improvements that would increase exercise capacity.
- A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of a Food Supplement Containing Creatine and D-Ribose Combined with a Physical Exercise Program in Increasing Stress Tolerance in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease
PubMed ID: 31861049
Study showed increased maximum tolerated load (watts) and longer exercise durations with the supplement including D‑ribose, directly supporting better workout capacity in the trial cohort.
Cell health (1)
- Effects of Ubiquinol and/or D-ribose in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
PubMed ID: 35644694
Measured increases in ATP and improved lactate/ATP ratio after supplementation indicate D‑ribose provided substrate/benefit to cellular energy pools.
Exercise recovery (1)
- Effects of Ubiquinol and/or D-ribose in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
PubMed ID: 35644694
Patient‑reported status improved (KCCQ), which may include reduced exertional tiredness in HFpEF, though not specifically quantified for exercise.
Stress resilience (1)
- Effects of Ubiquinol and/or D-ribose in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
PubMed ID: 35644694
Improvements in symptoms, EF and ATP suggest increased resilience to physical stress in HFpEF patients.
Vitality (1)
- Effects of Ubiquinol and/or D-ribose in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
PubMed ID: 35644694
Significant KCCQ/QoL improvements in HFpEF indicate enhanced overall vitality with ribose.
Workout performance (1)
- A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of a Food Supplement Containing Creatine and D-Ribose Combined with a Physical Exercise Program in Increasing Stress Tolerance in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease
PubMed ID: 31861049
Randomized controlled trial in ischemic heart disease patients found significant increases in maximum load (watts) and exercise duration with a supplement containing D‑ribose, supporting a strong match to improved performance (though product was multi‑ingredient).
