Muscle Recovery

School’s out! Summer is (almost) officially here!

 

Bring on the fun and outdoor adventuring! Whether you’re in the thick of performance training for an upcoming race or event, or enjoying your favorite family activities – swimming, hiking, biking, or hitting the pickleball courts, you could benefit from lemon verbena.

Lemon verbena (Aloysia citrodora) is a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells against oxidative stress, especially from physical activity. Soothing lemon verbena herbal tea has been referred to as the original recovery recipe, designed for post-workout recovery, digestion, and muscle repair.

 

We found multiple studies in support of the beneficial functional properties. These finds are fascinating and worth the read!
