Muscle recovery
Recoverben® is a lemon verbena extract (Aloysia citriodora) proven for its anti-inflammatory effects to provide a reduction of muscle damage and short turn recovery after intense workouts, supporting sustainable muscle strength. Supported with a published clinical trial. 400 mg/day.
Recoverben® - Key features
- Limits inflammation
- Protects from muscle damage in intense workout
- Clinically proven to short turns muscle recovery after workout
- Supports muscle strength over the recovery period
Science supporting Recoverben®
Recoverben® supports muscle strength and a faster recovery after exercise. Its mechanism of action reducing inflammation via inhibition of cyclooxygenases has been demonstrated in an in-vitro study. A clinical study demonstrated its benefits on 37 subjects.

Recoverben® protects from muscle damage in intense workouts.
Creatine kinase is a biomarker for muscle damage typically increased after intense exercise.
This intense workout generated a higher creatine kinase concentration in the blood of the placebo group.
48h after the intense workout, the group supplemented with Recoverben® experienced a lower creatine kinase production, signing lower muscle damage.
Recoverben® protects from muscle strength loss after the workout and helps to accelerate muscle recovery.
Changes in muscle function appear to be the best marker of exercise induced muscle damage. 
Maximal contractions were significantly less reduced after exercise in the Recoverben® group.
Recoverben® supplemented group recovered in 2 days, significantly earlier than the placebo group.
Recoverben® is safe
No adverse event linked to Recoverben® supplementation has been recorded.
Regulatory & Certifications
