Ribose-Source and Quality Questions

2007/04/15, 11:04 PM I can no longer get a supply of Ribose that I used. It was not manufactured by a large Nutrition company and was different and better than anything that I could get from a "Branded Labeled Bottle". The Difference was that the color was an off white beige color and it was a VERY fine powder. If you dissolved it in water it would come out a very brown colored liquid. Everything else I have ever seen has been a white crystalline powder that when dissolved in water would give a very very faint brown tint to the liquid. I would like to find this again. It is far superior to anything else. I have a few ideas on this product but can't confirm this. My thoughts are that it is either derived from a different source than the commercial stuff or that it does not go through a final "appearance processing". Anyone know the derivative synthesizing sources for D-Ribose and the quality that each source provides? Other than source the other Idea I have is that the only difference is that this product I seek has not been refined to the point that it is the most appealing color and consistency for a consumer and this does not sacrifice the potency and benefits of a "pure unrefined Ribose" I cite as an example Table Sugar Has the Turbinado Sugar in the raw form that is a pale brown. While what everyone is used to is a white sugar that could of been Turbinado that has been bleached by chemicals such as Phosphoric Acid and then processed to a consistent granulation. Anyone have any insight into the Synthesis of D-Ribose that can help me figure out what I am looking for? Thank You David
