Experienced Athletes Support Bioenergy Ribose

HAM LAKE, Minn.Four experienced athletes joined Bioenergy Life Science's Team Ribose to help promote the patented ingredient Bioenergy Ribose.

Olympians and triathletes Greg and Laura Bennett, rower Susan Francia and Nordic combined skier Billy Demong will be featured in promotions and events throughout the year to support the use of Bioenergy Ribose. The five-carbon monosaccharide is a functional ingredient used in food and beverage  applications to drive energy maintenance and recovery.

Team Ribose members not only include elite athletes preparing for their next competition, but also busy parents trying to keep pace with their childrens schedules, business people who have found a way to overcome that afternoon slump, college students needing to stay focused and alert in class, food and beverage manufacturers who add ribose to their delicious formulations and retailers who make room for ribose-fortified products on their store shelves," said Tom VonderBrink, president of Bioenergy Life Science.

The Bennetts joined Bioenergy's promotional team for a second year after recently making headlines for winning the Ironman 70.3 in Raleigh, NC.

Francia, a two-time Olympic champion, world champion and world-record holder in rowing, also re-joined Team Ribose for her second year.

Demong, an Olympian, World Cup medalist, U.S. World Team member and U.S. National Champion said he began taking Ribose several months ago to recover from his endurance trainings and strength sessions.

Ive noticed a remarkably shortened turnaround time between finishing long hard sessions and feeling recovered to go again," Demong said."I have an enhanced ability to work harder day after day, with each day starting off feeling fresh and ready."

All-natural Bioenergy Ribose aids in recovery by making energy compounds and keeping them in muscle cells. It has a negative glycemic index (GI) and does not raise blood sugar levels. The ingredient has a slightly sweet taste, no aftertaste and is highly soluble in hot or cold solutions. In addition, Bioenergy Ribose is affirmed GRAS (generally recognized as safe) by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and certified pure, kosher, halal, allergen-free and non-GMO.

Previously, Bioenergy has also partnered with Jarrow Formulas® Inc. to include D-Ribose in gift bags given to celebrities for the Golden Globe Awards.
