I am Type 2 diabetic and have had congestive heart failure in the past. I’m not planning on trying this without my doctor’s approval. I’m just doing a little research on it and would like to hear from others that may have tried it. It’s supposed to increase energy and relieve aches and tiredness.

Sure, D-Ribose is basically a sugar that fuels ATP (adenosine triphosphate) synthesis. It definitely increases energy and relieves aches (it’s also helpful for those with fibromyalgia). The energy it creates isn’t a caffeine-type of energy. It’s more of a "natural" energy. Hard to explain, but didn’t make me crash afterwards… I just felt like I used to when I had more energy. The only thing I might caution you about is that it is a sugar, so if you’re diabetic you might want to factor that into your sugar intake. Don’t know what it does for those with CHF- might ask your MD about that just in case.
