Ribose, a natural pentose sugar derived through biotechnological processes from corn seeds, plays a critical role in cellular functions. As a fundamental component of the ATP molecule, D-Ribose facilitates the generation of new energy units to replenish the body's energy reserves, thereby enhancing skin cell respiration and optimizing cellular metabolism. Additionally, Ribose is integral to the formation of RNA molecules, which are essential for protein synthesis and the transcription of DNA, supporting the production of vital proteins such as collagen and elastin. Referred to as the "Sugar of Life," this uncomplicated carbohydrate is an exceptional ingredient for making skin appear rejuvenated, energized, and radiant.
