Recovera®

Recovera® Prickly Pear Cactus Extract (Opuntia ficus-indica) is a non-GMO, water-soluble powder backed by multiple published human clinical studies, making it an ideal ingredient for sports nutrition, active lifestyle, and recovery formulations.

Long regarded as a nutritional powerhouse, prickly pear cactus has been consumed for centuries for its unique health benefits. Manufactured in Germany from carefully cultivated African-grown Opuntia ficus-indica and supported by a proprietary Type I and Type III collagen carrier system, Recovera® represents one of the most clinically substantiated prickly pear extracts available today.

Human clinical studies have demonstrated that Recovera® helps support a healthy insulin response and enhanced nutrient uptake, promoting the replenishment of energy stores following exercise. Additional research has shown that Recovera® may accelerate glycogen resynthesis and support the body’s ability to efficiently restore carbohydrate reserves between training sessions.

Recovera® should be a go-to ingredient for formulators seeking a differentiated, science-backed solution to support nutrient uptake, glycogen replenishment, metabolic wellness, and post-exercise recovery.
