Corvalen is a non-prescription medical food that specifically addresses a nutritional deficiency associated with particular diseases that result in fatigue and pain. Using GRAS-approved Corvalen, with the active ingredient ribose, patients can overcome this fatigue and pain more quickly.

Corvalen aids patients suffering from compromised heart function, Fibromyalgia (FMS) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) by restoring depleted energy reserves at a cellular level. Clinically-proven studies have shown a reduction of fatigue, muscle soreness, stiffness and pain with patients that use Corvalen.

Scientific and clinical studies have repeatedly shown that Corvalen, with the active ingredient ribose, can restore energy and improve function in ischemic, hypoxic, and failing hearts. Oxygen deprivation causes hearts to use energy faster than it can be replaced through normal processes of tissue energy turnover. The result is a depletion of cellular energy reserves translating to loss of heart function.

Millions of Americans suffer the affects of coronary artery disease, and the prevalence of congestive heart failure is reaching epidemic proportions. Recent research has also proven that high-intensity endurance exercise places a considerable strain on the heart, leading to a loss of diastolic heart function that persists for several weeks to months following an event.
Other research, conducted at the Mayo Clinic and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, showed that an average of 26% of the population, male and female, have symptoms of cardiac diastolic dysfunction. More than half of those affected are unaware of their condition, but all are at risk for developing congestive heart failure.

When hearts lose energy, they first suffer a loss of diastolic function. The diastolic phase of the heartbeat is the relaxation phase, during which the heart fills with blood for the next heartbeat. A loss of diastolic capacity means less blood will circulate to the body during each beat, and frequently leads to a thickening and expansion of the heart muscle, known as hypertrophy. The result of chronic diastolic dysfunction can be congestive heart failure. For patients, the progressive consequence of the disease is shortness of breath, loss of exercise capacity, overwhelming fatigue, etc.

Corvalen increases cardiac energy to help fuel the heart. For patients, this can mean more energy and a higher quality of life. For athletes, it can enhance recovery following strenuous exercise.


The muscle in patients with FMS and CFS is generally severely energy starved. This lack of energy leads to a number of physiological reactions within the muscle cell, ending in debilitating fatigue, muscle pain, soreness, and stiffness. By increasing the energy level in affected muscle, Corvalen helps patients overcome fatigue, and lessens the pain associated with their conditions. Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, Medical Director of the Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Centers of America, has conducted independent research on this effect. In his research, Dr. Teitelbaum found that 65% of patients treated with Corvalen showed a significant improvement in symptoms, with an average increase in energy of 45%. Dr. Teitelbaum calls this result, "Outstanding for a single entity product."

Strenuous, high-intensity exercise drains energy from muscle and places a great strain on the heart leading to diastolic dysfunction that can persist for several weeks to months following an athletic event. Corvalen can help hearts and muscles accelerate energy recovery, reduce fatigue post-exercise malaise, and improve exercise performance over time.

In skeletal muscle, high-intensity exercise can lead to a loss of up to 26% of cellular adenosine triphosphate, or ATP. A certain portion of this energy is quickly replaced as the muscle recovers, but up to 40% of the depleted ATP is washed out of the cell and lost. Normally, this lost energy can be restored with rest lasting for more than three days, but if exercise continues the cell may not fully recover on its own. Over time, this progressive energy loss can affect cell and muscle function and affect athletic performance.

Another consequence of this energy drain is an increase in free radicals in affected muscle. Free radicals attack cell and mitochondrial membranes and can destroy the genetic material that helps muscle tissues synthesize proteins. It also depletes the cell of energy it needs to increase lean muscle mass.

Corvalen helps in three ways. First, if enough ribose is present in the cell or the circulating blood, energy compounds can be saved, or salvaged, before they wash out of the cell and are lost. Second, ribose accelerates energy synthesis, so if energy compounds are lost, they can be quickly replaced. Finally, by keeping the energy compounds in the cell, Corvalen reduces free radical formation and preserves the energy the tissue needs to make proteins essential for maintaining muscle health and performance.
Skeletal muscle lacks the metabolic capacity to make ribose quickly when muscles are stressed. Supplementing with Corvalen gives the muscle the ribose it needs to make ATP and restore the energy charge of the cell. Research has shown that in mixed muscle, ribose can increase energy salvage by up to 8-fold and accelerate ATP synthesis by up to 4.3-fold. This means that muscle can recover in one to three days, rather than the three to seven days seen in muscle not supplemented with ribose.

And this energy improvement has been shown to translate to increased performance over time. A study published in the journal, Current Therapeutic Research, showed that male recreational bodybuilders experienced a significant improvement in both strength and endurance following 28 days of Corvalen supplementation. While placebo-treated athletes showed an improvement in both parameters, the improvements were not statistically significant.

Corvalen is not a stimulant, and it does not provide a functional or performance benefit from one exercise bout to another, or following only a few days of supplementation. Instead, what Corvalen does is keep the muscle energy level high so the muscle stays in top physiological condition. In the short term, this helps overcome post-exertional fatigue and soreness and reduces the "spongy" legs and weakness that frequently follows an extended training bout. Over the longer term, it can translate to better training and enhanced athletic performance.

Corvalen energy supplement and clinical nutrition products contain D-ribose (or simply ribose). Ribose is vital for your body to make the primary energy compound, adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP gives your body the energy it needs to stay healthy, overcome fatigue, and regain the vitality you need to live a normal, active life. That is why ATP is called the "energy currency" of the cell.

D-ribose, or simply ribose, is a five-carbon monosaccharide that is made in every cell in your body. Ribose stimulates the metabolic pathway used by the body to make a class of compounds called purines and pyrimidines. These compounds are essential for the body's production of many vital constituents, including the genetic material DNA and RNA, and the vital energy compound ATP.

The ribose in Corvalen helps energize your heart and muscles by increasing energy on a cellular level. Aging, strenuous exercise or overexertion, and many metabolic or physiological conditions can drain ATP from your tissue and affect how well your body makes and uses energy. Science has proven that ribose is a necessary ingredient for rebuilding energy in our bodies. So, without ribose we cannot make the energy we need to stay healthy.

Unfortunately, hearts, muscles, and other vital tissues in the body cannot make ribose very quickly, and ribose is not stored in our cells and tissues. That's why supplementing with Corvalen as directed will help your cells make energy quickly, safely, and naturally. This means you can feel more energetic, stronger, and healthier every day.

I had 6-way by-pass two years ago and had a long and painful recovery. I take Corvalen twice a day now, and I walk three miles per day with no pain. I feel great!

— Don S.
New Albany, Indiana


My ejection fraction is just below 24% so I suffer from congestive heart failure and chronic fatigue from the terrific malfunction of my heart. I started taking Corvalen, and within 3 days I felt a real improvement in my energy. When I run out or forget to take Corvalen, I immediately go into an energy slump. I am thrilled with the results and tell everyone about this miracle product!

— Dr. Kenneth N.
Porterville, California


I have had three angioplasty procedures over the past two years due to blockages in my coronary arteries. My energy level decreased to the point where I had to lay down and rest from my busy schedule every afternoon. I also could not enjoy going out dancing with my husband. Since taking Corvalen with my morning and evening meals, I have the energy I need to work all day and still go out dancing.

Many thanks for the very generous package you sent me.

I have found it to be some sort of miracle. Since taking ribose, my legs feel like they did 10 years ago. I get through 18 holes without nearly collapsing, a really big improvement.

Please know how very grateful I am for your kindness.

I have a friend with MERRF. (Myoclonus Epilepsy Associated with Ragged-Red Fibers is one of a group of rare muscular disorders that are called mitochondrial encephalomyopathies. Mitochondrial encephalomyopathies are disorders in which a defect in the genetic material arises from a part of the cell structure that releases energy (mitochondria). This can cause a dysfunction of the brain and muscles (encephalomyopathies). He has vision loss, hearing loss, has suffered a stroke and survived stage 4 mouth and throat cancer. He has lost a lot of lean mass and is currently in physical therapy. Because MERRF is due to a genetic problem that effects the mitochondria, I was wondering if CorvalenM might be helpful to him.

Thank you SO much for passing on my question to Dr. St. Cyr. He called me today and we had a very nice conversation in which I was able to give him more detailed information about my friend's medical situation. He is sending me Corvalen and some information, which I will give to my friend. I am quite hopeful that he will try it and see what it can do for him. I know that if he or his wife have any questions, I can assure them that they can contact your company and someone will be more than glad to help them.

I very much appreciated the information and concerns that Dr. St. Cyr shared and was delighted to have the opportunity to talk to him. As I told Dr. St. Cyr, I had total confidence that I would hear from someone in response to my inquiry. I have high regard for your company and your product and have already shared your product with two friends, one has polymyositis and the other has fibromyalgia. Both have gotten results that have greatly improved their quality of life. Thank you again for your assistance. I will be in touch as there are results to report.


Hello again. I wanted to write and give you and Dr. St Cyr an update on my friend, David, with MERRF. After I received the Corvalen and information that Dr. St Cyr sent to me I passed it on to David's wife and told her what I thought would be helpful. The next time I had the opportunity to find out how he was responding, she told me that after only three doses he was doing things he had not done in years. One day they had been out for the morning and when they arrived home, he told her that he was going to rake the yard. She said she wasn't even sure they had a rake and she doubted his ability to do it but to her surprise, he did.

The latest report was that he has also washed the car and cleaned the porch, board by board. When I asked him about his "new" activities, he told me that he wanted to wax the car. Apparently the day he washed the car they had already been out for the morning and his wife was concerned that he was going to exhaust himself. The next day, she asked him if he was sore and he said he wasn't. Anyway, the bottom line is that Corvalen works for MERRF and you have some very grateful people in Pensacola. It is such a joy to hear what a difference it makes in people's lives. As an aside---my friend, Claire, with the fibromyalgia told me Sunday that she had been in BAD shape at 4 am. She had not taken her CorvalenM for several days and had had a busy day on Saturday and was paying for it. She took a double dose and when I saw her at 8:30am she was doing fine and grateful for the simplicity of the solution to her problem.

Would you please pass this information and my appreciation to Dr. St Cyr. I am truly grateful for his concern for and help with David.

— Hope you have a blessed day,
L.S.



Hi! My name is Kimberly. I work for Florida Cardiology, PA as their EECP tech. There are two parts of EECP; there is the clinical and quality of life change. Most of my patients benefit from the clinical almost immediately, however, their quality of life will always take a while or in most cases they won't feel a difference at all. Most of my patients come to me feeling run down and too tired to do anything. I usually will tell them that with EECP one of the benefits is to make them feel better and have more energy.

I have several patients that I have started on Corvalen and all of them have told me that they feel a big difference. I have one lady that did 35 weeks of treatment and she didn't augment at all. She was telling me that she felt so tired; she had to leave work and take naps on a daily basis. Andrea, from Bioenergy Life Science, came in to see me and she told me all about the product. I knew I had to put this lady on it. I started her on it and she felt so much better. Her daily naps went away, she was able to clean her house again, and she was so much happier.

I felt very good because if my patients don't feel better after my treatment then I feel that failed them. When this lady did so well on the Corvalen I started to think about my other patients, whom else could I put on this Miracle Medical Food.

I have a gentleman that I would ask everyday, how do you feel? Everyday I got the same answer in his words, "like crap". I told him about Corvalen and I showed him the video testimonial. He tried the first week for free and felt so much better that he ordered a month's supply. I asked him again how he felt. He answered again, "like crap". I asked, "why"? He told me that since his free week of Corvalen ran out, he hasn't taken any in a couple of days and now feels bad. I was so excited to here that! If a medical food could make him feel better, then I was sold on this product.

Thank You to Andrea and the Bioenergy Life Science people for giving me access to this product so that I could help my patients.

A Grateful Daughter,

I care for an elderly Mother with congestive heart failure and many other problems. Her quality of life is minimal. An hour at the hairdresser would require resting all morning and sleeping after getting her hair done. A dear friend told me about Corvalen. After receiving the information from your company, I consulted Mother's doctor. He was not familiar with Corvalen but said if she wanted to try it he agreed. The change in my Mother after a day and three doses was remarkable. The throbbing in the arteries of her neck ceased. Her energy level improved greatly. After four days taking Corvalen she had her regular visit to her doctor. He was surprised. Her pulse rate had improved and he said her heart sounded good. Corvalen has restored energy and given her an ability to do things she has not been able to do. She has only been on Corvalen a week and I am amazed. Each day brings a better life for her. I want to thank you and my dear friend for this product and for the bit of life it has restored for my Mother.

— A Grateful Daughter


I recently wrote your company to inform you of the improvement my Mother had experienced after taking Corvalen. The improvement in the first two weeks was very noticeable. She has congestive heart failure and was so weak and unable to do much at all. It has now been four weeks and I am amazed at the change. If she were able to get out at all before Corvalen, we would have to use a wheelchair. Now she is walking, has improved energy, and is enjoying shopping and dining out.

This product has restored some quality of life for her and I just want to thank you and say that Corvalen has been a blessing for her. Her doctor is amazed at the change as well. This is a wonderful product for restoring life to those so ill they had lost all hope.

I have been meaning to email you since last week but was so busy with conferences. First of all I want you to know how grateful I am for your help and interest. Before I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia I was the healthiest I had ever been. I walked 5-7 miles everyday, all year long. I was at a comfortable weight and had the energy to do everything I wanted to do. I had no health issues and had a very positive disposition.

My condition was diagnosed almost 3 yrs ago (at age 46) after month of doctor appts. and misdiagnosing. I finally was referred to a specialist and he told me what I had. He put me on antidepressants and nortriptlyn for the sleep disorder that accompanies it. My sleep improved once on meds. The rest of my symptoms just had to be coped with. The symptoms are constant but flare-ups occur and during these times I am pretty much bedridden until it subsides. I wake up in the morning feeling like I've been run over by a truck. It feels as if I am bruised all over my body. The fatigue is very hard to describe. It feels like you are getting the flu or a terrible virus. My husband says fibro took my smile and laughter. I went to a homeopathic doctor this summer and she was very helpful with the gastrointestinal symptoms by treating me for an overgrowth of yeast. My pain remained the same.

Last spring my doctor prescribed ultracet for the pain. It has greatly improved my ability to go to work because it dulls the pain somewhat but I still have to be careful not to overdue the exertion. I can take up to 6 a day but I take 2 before work and sometimes on weekends I take a 3rd if I want to go out to dinner. Since taking the ribose the biggest change has been my energy. Fatigue has been reduced dramatically. I feel tired after a busy day now, but I don't start the day exhausted. My pain has improved somewhat also. The areas where I feel the most relief are those that had been the worst - the fleshy part on the inside of both knees and elbows. It hasn't cured me, but I feel like it is definitely worthwhile. I now find that most days I am able to walk around the building (it is a large school) without any wincing or limping. I stopped taking it last weekend and by Sunday night my family noticed that I looked paler and smiled less. It's hard to smile when you're in pain and so tired. I take the ribose every morning at 7:00 and then again at lunch and then before bed. There are still some days I still need an ultracet while other days I don't even realize I didn't take any until I go to bed at night.

Taking the ribose has really made me feel empowered because I feel that I am doing something about my symptoms other than adapting my lifestyle to live with it. I hope I don't sound like a hypochondriac when I read this over I could certainly understand why fibro is looked at that way. Thank you so much for providing me with the ribose - it is an answer to a prayer. I would love to continue taking it. Lynn (God bless her) thought you could line me up to order more as I need it.

I spent a lot of time researching D-ribose to see if the health improvements my patients experienced were scientifically based, or merely a fluke. What I've concluded is that I've found a missing link for heart health.

Dear Sir or Madam:

Thank you very much for sending me three 280g jars of Corvalen by air express. I am enjoying the product greatly – – it is increasing my energy as promised!

— Ray S.
Toledo, Ohio


I have have diabetes, CHF, high blood pressure, and heart disease. I also have neuropathy from my diabetes, have been on around 20 medications and have not been able to reduce my blood sugar levels below 300.

Within two days of starting Corvalen, I had no pain in my legs from the neuropathy and the pain in my chest had also gone away. I feel better than I have in 20 years and I have more energy.

I have completed a week of Corvalen and I have been able to stop some of my medications because I am doing much better. It truly is a miracle drug and I can't thank you enough for the product. It is certainly working and I feel absolutely wonderful.

A BIG THANK YOU FOR CORVALEN

I am writing to thank you for corvalen. I have had fibromyalgia since the age of 9. Year after year I was getting worse and nothing ever helped me.

Many days the stiffness, achyness, soreness, burning and swelling were unbearable. I had to take Alieve and msm pills to get light chores around the house finished.

Doctors tell you to exercise to ease the pain of fibromyalgia. I was so tired and sore that I couldn't exercise. I needed the little energy I had to look after my family, not lose it exercising.

I heard about Corvalen on a radio show. It sounded too good to be true but I had tried everything else so I ordered it. I took Corvalen 3 times per day and within 3 days I noticed a big difference. I wasn't as stiff in the morning and I was sleeping a lot better.

After 5 days I have no aches, pains, swelling, bloating or burning. I feel better than I have in 35 years. I no longer take any other medication to ease the pain. I can't predict the weather anymore either....which is great!!! I am riding a bike again and enjoying life with my husband and boys. My husband calls Corvalen a miracle because of the improvement in me. Thank you again....

A BIG THANK YOU FOR CORVALEN (UPDATE)

There is an update to my story... I have joined the local gym now and work out everyday. Thanks for your program, since I heard about this wonderful product that gave me back my life.

Thanks again.

Hi,

I recently visited my mother who has heart problems and other health problems and she was taking Corvalen. Prior to taking Corvalen she was quite ill and had no energy. After taking it her energy increased dramatically. It was suggested that I take it and I am relatively healthy and aging, a bit overweight and low energy. I took the Corvalen and after only 2 days my energy increased significantly and pain in my shoulder was reduced. Amazing.

My question is: Is it ok for healthy people to take Corvalen and are there any side effects? Thanks so much for the info and for making a difference in my Mother's life.

Thank you for your follow-up phone call a couple of weeks ago. I did not retain my information regarding card numbers, etc. Would you please reissue these to my attention.

Let me tell you why I did not retain this information. I had no estimate on what Corvalen would do for me, so these numbers were not important to me at the time. WRONG. First, I must tell you there is probably no layman that has a better read on their body than I do. Since going into heart failure at the age of 40 (I am now 75) I have studied and tried virtually hundreds of products.

Back to Corvalen. I have an ejection fraction study done every year the latter part of March (My cardiologist is my closest personal friend and tells me, "Vern keep up what you are doing it is working and I couldn't help you with anything I could suggest". This year due to the marked improvement I have already seen in taking Corvalen since only 3-6-04, I have postponed my ejection fraction study to early May '04. This will give me at least six to eight weeks of Corvalen use prior to the next study being done. I wish to tell you that my blood oxygen level at both rest and during activity has improved greatly since taking Corvalen. An example: I love to run the vacuum for my wife. In the past when I finished vacuuming my heart rate was 115 and my blood oxygen was 90. Today after I completed the task my heart rate was 83 and my blood oxygen was 97. Also important, is the fact that 5 minutes later my heart rate was down to 72 (that is recovery I haven't seen in years). I have all the equipment to supplement oxygen, read blood oxygen, heart rate, blood pressure, etc here in my home and know how and when to use each item.

Please stay in touch with me. I look forward to your next phone call.

Dear Tom and the Bioenergy Life Science Team,

I just had a nice conversation with Judy, at your order center, and have ordered a jar of Corvalen (D-ribose). I have suffered seriously with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue for my lifetime, 54 years, and my most recent bout has been overwhelming for the past four years. I am completely disabled.

I have tried and evaluated almost every prescription drug and alternative health product for pain relief throughout the past four years. Actually, nothing works for me. I am on oxycontin, neurontin, and lortab for pain relief.

The few people who do find relief are women, those lucky gals, by use of antidepressants administered by injection. The vast majority simply suffer and hope for a new drug. As I told Judy, I have evaluated your Corvalen (d-ribose) and it is very good for pain relief and fighting chronic fatigue, as compared to all of the other products I have tried. I still need the hi-potency pain relief drugs for relief, but as a health food product, your d-ribose is the best. It doesn't cure me, but it helps me get through each day.

My first doctor, an expert in infectious diseases, put me on Enada (NADH), 5 mg, three times per day. It did nothing for raising my ATP. Your product, I feel, is much better. Granted, I have just started using it, but I will do my own "control study," and let you know how it works. Suffice it to say, that compared to the other products, this one is the best I have found. Please contact the fibromyalgia headquarters, in Tuscon, by internet, and get the address of the national fibromyalgia newsletter.

So, I hope this information will help you. I don't buy products unless they help me, and I've spent a fortune on Rx and health products with very little results. Corvalen (D-ribose) can really help people, I believe. And again, I will keep you informed as I use your product.

Patients (taking Corvalen) showed improvement in diastolic cardiac function; they had less fatigue, were better able to perform daily activities and their quality of life improved.

In January of 2004, after undergoing medical testing at St. Luke's Hospital, I was placed on a heart transplant list. In 1991, I suffered a severe heart attack that damaged the lower ventricle of my heart which pumps the blood to the body and brain. I was advised that my heart was pumping at about 20% capacity, down from 35%. I was feeling tired, weak, fatigued, winded, and with shortness of breath.

My doctor recommended Corvalen to help boost my energy level. Within 3 days after I started to take it twice a day, I noticed a difference in my energy level. It really helped me improve my daily activities. I felt more energized to do more things. I am now able to walk a mile 3 to 4 times a week and feel 100% better. I am able to do most of the work and recreational activities that I was doing before. My sluggishness, tiredness, general weakness feelings are gone. I highly recommend it to anyone in this medical situation.

I have started to use Corvalen. However, I do not have heart disease, I do have COPD. A friend of mine, also diagnosed with COPD, was prescribed Corvalen by an alternative doctor 00 her condition has improved to the point of not needing oxygen at higher altitude (I live just outside of Durango, CO- elevation is over 6700 feet. I live here full-time; my friend lives here part-time.) I am using Corvalen at present, and am feeling far less short-of-breath, more energy.

Thank you for letting me try your product. I have not felt this good for over eight months. You cannot imagine how frustrating it is to try different prescription drugs (11 in all) that did absolutely nothing! The pain was continuous 24 hours, seven days a week. To have a "break" and feel like I did eight months ago is "priceless". Please let me know how I can get the powder and hopefully, "soon"! I don't want to relapse!

Thank you for the recent supply that you sent me of Corvalen. This is definitely a miracle product.

The improvement in my health in the past month is absolutely phenomenal. Dr. Vijay cannot believe it and neither can I. My labs have improved dramatically. My kidney functions have improved. My liver functions have improved. My overall functions physically being able to do things have improved beyond my own thought processes because I was so sick. I was at a point where before I started on this I could not walk around my own house without being winded. I had to use a walker in the house. I had to use a walker just to go to my mailbox, which is about 35 yards from my front door, and stop and rest and sit on the seat of this thing on the way over and again on the way back, because I could not get my breath. But since I have been on the Corvalen it has been steadily improving to the point where I can walk fairly decent distances. I do not need the walker. Everything in my life has changed because of this; I have nothing else to attribute it to. I am on the CoQ10, the water soluble CoQ gel, and the L-Carnitine with it according to the formula of Dr. Sinatra. I was already on prescription magnesium, to the tune of 800 mg a day, which I still am, but all in all the Corvalen has to be the major contributor to my overall health getting me back to the level I am currently at.

Again, thank you so much for your consideration, what you have done for me, and I hope my being a test case now, that my valve heals up like the documented case in Dr. Sinatra's book did, and we can publish that or talk about it or do whatever that will hopefully help lots and lots of other people.

Please feel free to call me at any time. Thanks again for the latest supply of product and I cannot wait to see the results of my next test, especially the echocardiogram. If this valve is healing or starting to heal or has healed I will be so ecstatic I will not know what to do next. But, I will certainly let you know. You will be one of the first to know, and it would be a direct result of your product. So, again, thank you, God bless you and yours, and I guess that is it for now.

I give supplemental ribose pre-operatively to all my open heart surgery patients. It increases the energy supply to the heart, which brings better heart function and fewer complications.

I am writing to share with you the success I have had using Corvalen D-Ribose.

I suffer from an Idiopathic Cardiomyopathy secondary to an acquired mitochondrial disease. In practical terms, this means that I felt dizzy, weak, and oxygen starved. The simplest activities such as cooking or standing up for a shower were monumental tasks. I struggled to breathe and my lips were blue.

Needless to say, these symptoms profoundly affected my life and placed severe limits on my activities.

I began Corvalen D-Ribose and within one day was breathing more easily. After three days, the feeling of suffocating for air had diminished substantially. Within the first week I was on my feet for hours cooking every night. My activity level has increased dramatically as well as my overall sense of well-being.

I have suffered enormously for years with these symptoms which were no small inconvenience. Therefore, I am amazed that a natural, non-toxic substance like D-Ribose can have such a profound therapeutic effect.

D-Ribose has made a huge difference in my quality of life as it has treated the cause of my symptoms and provided relief that I never would have thought possible.

My husband has been suffering from sore muscles for about 2 years. Last week his Dr. gave him Corvalen to try. He feels so good that now I have to try it for myself. MY question is how to order the product from your company. What do I need to log in? Please respond quickly. I have to run to keep up with my husband now.

Corvalen will temporarily depress blood sugar several points for an hour after ingestion. This is usually sub-clinical. However, it is recommended Corvalen be taken with food, juice or around meal time to avoid potential symptoms of hypoglycemia.
