Press Release Summary = D-Ribose, the new and exciting Energy Product from Solgar is
launched online by Boots Herbal Stores.

Press Release Body = Boots Herbal Stores, the award winning health retailer is proud
to announce the launch of Solgar\'s D-Ribose, a new product aimed at supporting
cellular energy production and tissue regeneration.

D-Ribose is a simple five-carbon sugar that is produced by all cells and is a key
element to the makeup of RNA and DNA as well as adenosine triphophate (ATP) and
Riboflavin.

ATP is the energy currency of the cell and provides the power all cells need to
function. D-ribose is the fundamental building block of ATP, the energy molecule, so
without sufficient ribose in the cell, ATP cannot be formed. If ATP cannot be
formed, the energy pool cannot be re-supplied if the cell becomes energy starved.
The availability of D-ribose in cells is therefore a limiting factor in energy
recovery following cellular stress.

Ribose is primarily associated with cardiovascular function by helping to optimise
the cell\'s oxygen utilisation. When cells are using oxygen to its full potential,
heart function becomes optimised, exercise recovery times are reduced and muscular
energy production is improved.

\"We are very excited about this latest innovation from Solgar\'s scientific research
team.\" Says Boots Herbal Stores Technical Director Keith Woolley. \"This product sits
alongside Solgar\'s other innovations, gPLC and Nutri Nano CoQ10, making up the first
comprehensive range that support optimal cellular energy production and is based
upon the very latest scientific research.\"

Cell regeneration and oxygen efficiency are issues that affect many people, from
athletes who aim to optimise their athletic performance, to cardiovascular patients
who seek to improve their quality of life. As well as those who are striving to
maintain good energy levels for everyday life:

"People in every walk of life, whether healthy or sick use a great deal of energy in
every cell in their body every day. Many become deficient in cellular energy
reserves because they exercise, are stressed in their job, or because they may be
contracting or already have heart disease that place undue burden on their energy
metabolism. Most don't know they could feel better if they gave their cells a
fighting chance." (Dr. Stephen Sinatra, The Sinatra Solution)

D-Ribose is marketed in the UK by Solgar Vitamin & Herb and will have an RRP of
£29.85, available now from Boots Herbal Stores at
