Natural sugar extract nixes muscle soreness

-

So say researcher­s in the Journal of the Internatio­nal Society of Sports Nutrition. Folks who did not frequently exercise took 1,500 mg. of D-ribose, a sugar supplement, 1 hour before working out, then every 12 hours. After one day, they were up to 45% less sore than those who didn’t supplement. D-ribose energizes cells so they can quickly repair muscle damage from exercise. One to try: Life Extension D-Ribose Tablets (LifeExtens­ion.com/ffw).
