Another factoid.... ribose is not found in foods so we cannot get it that way. It does comprise riboflavin (vitamin B2) but we consume small amounts of that also.
Ribose is made from other things inside us, and if this fails, then we can't make adenosine, which is essential for energy production in the body. Like many things we find failing as we age that become genetic failures, ribose is getting much more attention these days.
