Bioenergy Life Science, Inc.

Bioenergy Life Science, Inc. is an integrated life science company with a clear mission to develop products that improve lives. Its core technology is centered on the simple carbohydrate, D-ribose, and the dramatic metabolic impact it has on restoring energy in the body. Since the ribose available in the human diet is negligible, the body relies on the ribose synthesized by the cells. While every cell in the body has the ability to make ribose, the metabolic pathway used in ribose synthesis is slow and rate limited. In times of metabolic stress, the body's inability to produce ribose limits ATP synthesis, restricts the formation of important cellular compounds and delays tissue recovery. Stressed cells simply cannot make energy fast enough to keep pace with demand. Supplemental ribose, however, significantly accelerates energy recovery.

Bioenergy RIBOSE™, Bioenergy's branded ingredient, is widely used in foods and nutrition for energy enhancement. It helps accelerate energy recovery in hearts and muscles, reduces fatigue and post-exercise malaise and improves exercise performance over time. Bioenergy Ribose is self-affirmed generally recognized as safe (GRAS) as a food ingredient, non-gmo, kosher and has a natural certification.

Bioenergy has 29 issued or pending patents, both domestic and international, covering broad applications for D-ribose in medicine, nutrition, and veterinary care.

A world leader in metabolic research leading to product development, Bioenergy Life Science works to confidentially help clients add energy to their products. Applications include functional foods, beverages, sports nutrition, anti-aging products, supplements, dairy beverages, nutrition/health/meal, replacement bars, clinical nutrition, and more.
