The standard supplement disclaimer applies: If you are under a doctors care for any health condition you should consult with your physician before taking this or any other supplement. As this supplement is primarily used in the traditional Ayurvedic medicine of India, consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner might also be helpful. It is illegal for anyone who is not a doctor to give advice on treatment of specific diseases.

Yes, it's carb free. A very good choice for people on a low carbohydrate diet and an excellent choice for diabetics. Have both sorts of people in my family and have dealt with both issues. This sweetener is both tasty and a safe choice.

I don't know. I am a diabetic and tried it for diabetic neuropathy. In my case, the product was somewhat effective. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful for you.

It is difficult for consumers to know isn't it? Without a list of ingredients, everyone is just guessing. Since this product has been safely used for both a food additive and a homeopathic medicinal for years, it does not seem dangerous in any way. Only Dr. Christopher knows for sure and he's not talking.

No. What is MOST outrageous is the lack of ANY B-1 (thiamine), which is needed in much higher than "recommended daily dose" to deal with the increased sugar consumption and formation of glycated end products, implicated in many medical disorders. How someone can sell somethng called "B-Complex" and leave out B-1 baffles me.

That's what is recommended. However, I have taken it with food on my stomach without any problems.

No, sorry but I cannot. I never took it since the research on it was not good -- that is the side effects, etc. I fearful it would be dangerous to my health.

I have had my usual Now brand on the shelf for a year and no problems. Just keep your bag sealed or put it in a storage container. CAUTION: if you have dogs, this is lethal so keep it put up out of their reach. It passes through human bodies unabsorbed which is similar to how the gas medicine simethicone works. It does not spike my glucose levels and has the least net carb effect of any sugar alcohol and less gastrointestinal upset risk than xylitol. I have used it in baking, ice cream making and beverages just fine. You will have to play with texture (dissolving the crystals may need some help or pulverize them in a blender, etc...) or amounts. It is considered to be 70% as sweet as table sugar but we find it can actually taste sweeter to us but then we are on ketogenic dietary protocols to control my diabetes and when you get sugar and excess carbs out of your system everything tastes sweeter, more intense, cleaner and absolutely delightful.

Yes. Its safe if you dont exercise. I do know there is a woman's equivalent multivitamin under GNC. I can only assume that women can take this vitamin as long as they're not pregnant based on the label.

Yes. I take it directly after my workouts (within 15 min) along with a glucose supplement. That is when your muscles will absorb the most nutrition possible from the product.

I wish I could help but I really don't know. I was diagnosed by my nutritionalist to take this and am taking it to help my body absorb the iron in my body. I have trouble with low blood sugar and this helps to balance things out.

it's not recommended because it can drop your blood sugar . Even if you don't have diabetes, you have to eat something when you take ribose or it can cause a drop in blood sugar.
