Every race leaves its mark, every training session challenges body and mind, but it is in recovery that the foundations of the next performance are built.

The most interesting innovation in supplementation is called Enervit Magic Cherry and it's the drink that Tadej Pogacar and his UAE Team Emirates XRG teammates, as well as the Lidl-Trek colleagues, drink right after crossing the finish line of every race. Even after winning the Tour of Flanders, cameras showed the world champion drinking this reddish "magic potion", now a must have at the end of every stage and race. It's the CherryCraft® (Tart Cherry) sour cherry extract that is revolutionizing the concept of recovery and is now available to any cyclist.

Developed with professional teams' nutritionists in the field, it's ideal to consume before drinking the classic R2 Recovery Drink. Recommended for bikepacking enthusiasts or those planning multi-day extended efforts on the bike, it's the cherry on top supporting performance.

Based on an extract of a particular variety of sour cherries (Vistula), it's a natural concentrate rich in polyphenols, especially anthocyanins, which play an important supporting role in defending against oxidative stress. During physical exercise, especially in intense and/or long-duration activities like cycling, running, and triathlon, the body generates reactive molecules (particularly ROS and RNS, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species). These unstable molecules, in attempting to reach equilibrium, react with other substances in the body, such as muscle cells and tissues, hindering recovery and increasing fatigue sensation.

Thanks to the high concentration of anthocyanins, the tart cherry extract helps counteract the negative effects of these molecules, protecting muscle tissue from oxidative damage and supporting recovery processes.
