Corvalen M has all the benefits of Corvalen, with magnesium gluconate to help utilize energy and promote proper muscle function. D-ribose is a natural pentose sugar that supports the natural way our bodies produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cell. D-ribose is a safe and clinically researched ingredient designed to provide athletic support by regulating fatigue, energy production and mitochondrial function. It is indicated for sports and fitness activities because it helps reduce the loss of energy during stress, and accelerates energy and tissue/muscle recovery. Studies show that D-ribose helps to maintain performance and promote endurance in extended, high intensity exercise.
D-ribose rapidly dissolves in both hot and cold solutions and is readily absorbed into the body. Magnesium is critical in facilitating hundreds of biochemical reactions, including those involved in nutrient metabolism. It plays an essential role in both muscle contraction and relaxation, and may maintain muscle function in physically active older adults.
Magnesium is also a cofactor for the enzyme creatine kinase, which generates ATP from phosphocreatine stored in muscle tissues during intense exercise (known as alactic anaerobic metabolism).
