Bioenergy Life Science

Ingredients for Healthier Living™

Our Story

We develop new all-natural, pure and scientifically-based ingredients that help people feel better, perform better and look better.

We’re best known for the development of the multi-functional molecule D-Ribose. Bioenergy Ribose® is the only patented and FDA GRAS-certified ribose on the market. We use this core technology and our more than 30 years of experience to develop clinically-proven health-enhancing ingredients that help people of all ages feel, perform and look better from the inside out.

We sell in bulk to businesses who manufacture or formulate functional foods and beverages, dietary supplements, sports nutrition products and cosmetics.

BLS is Your Partner in Innovation

Our company’s foundation is based on research by pediatric, cardiothoracic surgeon, John E. Foker, MD, Ph.D.

Dr. Foker uncovered the temporal relationship between the amount of energy in the heart and its diastolic functions such as the ability to relax before contraction. Bioenergy Ribose drives the synthesis and replenishment of critical energy compound (i.e. ATP). This supports overall cardiovascular health and overall vitality.

Dr. Foker realized that an invasive cardiac procedure for a congenital defect often led to additional issues in his young patients. In an effort to improve outcomes for these children, he conducted substantial pre-clinical research and discovered that D-Ribose helped alleviate the potential for further damage from the cardiac procedure. He was granted a patent in 1988 for this life-changing discovery.

Research at the University of Minnesota led to additional patents and the formation of Bioenergy Inc.
