Doctor's Best D-Ribose with Bioenergy Ribose, Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten Free, Energy Enhancement, 250g, 8.8 Ounce (Pack of 1)

Don’t hesitate, get this now! I have CFS and idiopathic hypersomnia so I’ve tried it all. I have not had to take my stimulant medication in 3 weeks. This is absolutely unheard of for me. I am shocked in the best way possible. I put a scoop in my morning coffee and then again in my afternoon coffee or tea. It doesn’t change the taste of either and dissolves right away. There is no jitteriness or jolt of energy, it just lifts the heavy dark cloud off of me. I did try Bill supplements brand since I take their taurine and it is cheaper, however, it didn’t seem to work as well as this brand for some reason. I will be a customer for life, I’m finally feeling like a normal person!

I started using this years ago after i saw Dr. Oz on Good Morning America talking about natural remedies to help with fibromyalgia (which I suffer from severely) He specifically named the Doctor's Best brand, and in powder form, as your body absorbs it better and much faster than in a pill form. I add it to my coffee in the morning and sometime mid-day to keep my energy levels up in something like tea, crystal light, whatever. I was absolutely shocked when I first started using it! My energy levels were increased more than I can possibly explain! The energy is so different from caffeine, you never get a crash, it just gives you a natural energy boost that's unlike anything I've tried (and I've tried EVERYTHING) The taste is great, not strong at all, but it's a little sweet. Almost a slight butterscotch or vanilla taste, not chemically at all. At first I had to work my way up to the recommended two scoops a day (the scoops are tiny) because it actually gave me too much energy! It not only helps with the constant fatigue from fibromyalgia, it also helps my muscles ache a lot less. I used it for a couple of years, ran out and just kind of forgot to order it again. You stop noticing how much it does for you after a while. Within a week all of my fatigue and muscle aches were at it's highest. I had no idea it was doing that much for me until I stopped using it! I Immediately ordered more, and I will never let myself run out again! I can't attest how it would work for other uses (I believe it's used with a lot of weight trainers/ body builders), but if you have fibro you MUST have this in your daily diet. It's by far the best product I've tried over the past 10 years to try to help ease the symptoms of fibromyalgia. I feel like it's given me back a part of me that fibro took away. I can't say enough about it. Thank you Doctor's Best for literally changing my life (and Dr. Oz for recommending it...I never would have found it otherwise!)

I like the tiny little scoop. It mixes well with my morning coffee and is tasteless. I am almost 84 and my get up and go was missing by afternoon. I have taken about two thirds of one jar and am actually feeling stronger and more energetic.

I started taking this at my massage therapist's recommendation. Normally, things that work for me show the benefit pretty quick (a matter of days). So when I hadn't noticed any appreciable improvement to my daily stamina, I assumed it wasn't going to work for me. Kept taking it though, and a few days later realized I still had energy when I got home from work. My thoughts were clear, I didn't need to take a nap, and my sleep patterns appeared to improve.I chose this brand/volume because of its good ranking, and it had a good value (ratio of cost to volume compared to others). I was concerned with the bad taste some reviewers reported, so I 'hide' it in a mixture of grapefruit juice and water. I don't find a bad taste with that mix, and I'm pretty sensitive to these things...after chemotherapy years ago, many former nice things weren't so appealing due to a chemical aftertaste.I take 5g in the morning with breakfast, then sip on a 5g mix that I take to work in a sealed cup. Keeps me going even though I'm on my feet all day. Then I come home with enough mental/physical energy left to act like a real human being for a few hours before bedtime.I will do my best to follow up in a month or two to report any further changes/improvement.====== OK, it's been over a month, and I'm still pleased with this product. It took about two weeks for it to be effective for me. I now have it on subscription purchase.

I really like this product. I tried the Now brand chewables a couple months back, but I got sick of chewing a chalky orange flavor tab. I wanted to try a powder to put in smoothies, and decided on Doctor's Best based on reviews. I put a scoop in my coffee in the morning and feel great all day. Sometimes I'll put it in my water at noon if I feel like a need a little pep. It has a sweet taste. I previously chewed on the Now brand three times a day to get the same effect, so I think this is more powerful. I gave some to my friend to try, and he keeps coming back for more asking me what brand and where to get it. Last year I was basically disabled with chronic fatigue, severe depression and muscle pain. I got a clean bill of health from the doctor, but I could barely get out of bed and live. I went to a chiropractor who put me on a gluten and dairy free diet and various supplements from Premier Research Labs based on muscle testing. After being gluten and dairy free for a whole year (with a few mishaps), I was still a little tired, especially in the afternoon. So I tried D-Ribose after reading From Fatigued to Fantastic, and was really amazed at how much better I felt. I took it to my chiropractor who muscle tested me with it, and he said it passed and was good for me. I've brought in many supplements that haven't passed. I am even weaning myself off of the antidepressant I've been on for 3 years now that I am feeling so much better. I have energy to exercise, but I battle with plantar fasciitis. So now I am reading reviews for foot wraps and such.
