I have actually never tried it and was hoping for some intel...let me know if you have tried it and if it helped.

Yes, I've used it and found to be "nice." I have not stuck to it. It is so very expensive.
I know someone who says it has saved her life, literally. She is a preschool teacher with FM (?) and says she could not work without it.
I think, for myself, that ashwagandha, siberian ginseng or many of the medical mushrooms for adrenal support also help in the same manner, even a bit better and at a better price.
I have tried to find which foods it's in, but that's a big search.

Edited to add: Now I remember why the bottle was at the back of the shelf - I took a dose just after first reading this. For me, upon several ties over several months, this increases tinnitus.
Edited to add a little later - oh, but I think I am clearer in eyes and brain . . . a little more energy. This is nice. I had thought the entire day would be horizontal.

I bought a bottle of Jarrow Ribose and use it occasionally before working out in the gym.
It seems to give me a very mild increase in energy for exercise; I am not a great athlete! The doses that I used were less than those discussed in the article.
