Customer Reviews of Now Foods D-Ribose Powder, 8-Ounce
Customer Review: D-Ribose Powder - Anygood?
Summary: 3 Stars
I have been taking this product for only 7 days, so I cannot
say if it really works; I seem to feel an improvement though.
Customer Review: D-ribose kills a variety of human and animal cells and cell lines
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this supplement recently, without doing sufficient research on it, just to try it and see.
I thought I did not have much more than $20 to lose. I later came across an article named
"D-Ribose and Deoxy-D-Ribose Induce Apoptosis in Human Quiescent Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells"
by Barbieri et al (you can google the title). According to the article, D-Ribose induces cell death
by oxidative stress. I thought it would be a good time for me to return the bottle, but I had already
opened it and consume some...
I do not mean to scare anyone, just to add my $0.02. In fact, I felt dizzy after consuming the D-Riboze
and that was before reading the article. I do not think the dizziness was due to cell death (it would
not occur that fast), but I do think this supplement is not healthy for me. I asked my hematologist
(a very good one) and he said he does not believe in this type of supplement.
Customer Review: Very Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
D-Ribose is supposed to help with energy. After 2 bottles, I felt the same.
No new energy, infact, I didn't feel any difference at all. Very disappointed.
I'm not sure I will listen to Dr. Oz anymore. I learned about D-Ribose from
his show.
