Momence, IllinoisApril 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A recently published human clinical study demonstrated that Promentum® Recover, a patented FutureCeuticals formula anchored by calcium fructoborate combined with low doses of turmeric and pomegranate extract, provides statistically significant post-exercise recovery benefits. Promentum® Recover exhibited a unique range of benefits after intense exercise, including reduced muscle soreness, enhanced feelings of recovery, improved mental energy, and better sleep quality.
The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, conducted at Loughborough University, evaluated Promentum Recover in recreationally active adults following strenuous muscle-damaging exercise.
Compared to the placebo, subjects using Promentum Recover experienced over 17% less muscle pain 72 hours after muscle-damaging exercise, resulting in significantly reduced post-exercise muscle soreness.
Additionally, Promentum Recover significantly improved participants’ other non-physical perceptions during the recovery period. When answering questions directly assessing exercise-induced fatigue, individuals reported feeling more recovered within 72 hours post-exercise, indicating a faster return to readiness after training.
These benefits extended to significant improvements in mental energy and sleep quality. Participants reported feeling less mentally exhausted and experiencing better sleep quality after intense exercise. Researchers noted the link between strenuous workouts and subsequent sleep disruption, which further complicates and delays recovery.
The study authors noted that the low 300 mg dose included “significantly reduced” doses of turmeric and pomegranate extract compared to those typically used to achieve recovery benefits, and that the potential synergistic effect of these extracts with calcium fructoborate warrants further investigation and cannot be ruled out.
“This study marks the first published clinical research on our flagship ingredient, calcium fructoborate, in the context of exercise recovery, extending our extensive existing research on the patented mineral complex into the sports nutrition market with new benefits,” said J. Randal Wexler, Vice President of R&D and General Counsel at FutureCeuticals. “These recovery benefits are a natural complement to our long-standing clinical and commercial success in the joint and mobility space.”
