A simple sugar in measured packets
D-ribose is a five-carbon sugar, and each packet holds 5 g of it with no other ingredients listed. That works out at 20 calories, 5 g of carbohydrate and 5 g of sugars per packet. Carlson labels the powder non-GMO, gluten free and milk/casein free, with no artificial preservatives.
No scoop or measuring needed
Single-serving packets make it easy to carry a dose in a gym bag or on a trip, and the powder can be stirred into any drink. The manufacturer positions it as part of an exercise routine.
What comes in the box
The box holds 30 packets. At one packet a day that is a month's supply, or around two weeks if you take the maximum of two packets daily.
How to use
Adults: take one packet one to two times daily, stirred into any drink.
