FDA-Approved and Texas-Born: How Omega APE Is Redefining Recovery Nutrition

FDA-Approved and Texas-Born: How Omega APE Is Redefining Recovery Nutrition

What began as a simple effort to help her diabetic mother has grown into one of Texas’s most promising wellness brands. In 2017, Jennifer Villarreal, a skilled pastry chef, created her first protein bars in her San Antonio kitchen—designed to be healthy, flavorful, and functional. The goal was to support healing without sacrificing taste. Encouraged by friends and early fans who told her, “You should bottle this,” she did.

Today, that idea is called Omega APE, a fast-growing performance recovery drink now used by athletes, families, medical professionals, and cancer patients across Texas and beyond.


Recovery That Works — And Tastes Like It Should

Omega APE is formulated with a powerful blend of protein, amino acids, creatine, and collagen—designed to support muscle recovery, inflammation reduction, hydration, and joint health.

But unlike many over-the-counter recovery drinks, Omega APE was created from a chef’s perspective. That means flavor, quality ingredients, and consistency matter just as much as the science.

The formula has received FDA approval and is currently available in 8 oz, and 16 oz bottles, and half-gallon jugs, with pricing that ranges from $6 to $15 per bottle, and 12-packs of 16 oz bottles sold between $54–$65 (plus shipping). Orders can be made directly through Instagram (@omega_a.p.e) and select local distributors.


Serving Everyone from Gyms to Gridirons

Omega APE isn’t just another supplement brand—it’s a movement with deep Texas roots. The company proudly sponsors bodybuilders, powerlifters, and middle school football teams across the state, showing a unique commitment to performance and youth wellness at every level.

Jennifer is now expanding operations with offices under development in Austin, Houston, Katy, and Galveston, and is actively building partnerships to enter:

  • Nutrition shops
  • Grocery chains
  • Gyms & CrossFit centers
  • Medical clinics
  • Recovery and physical therapy centers

A Special Focus on Cancer Recovery

What sets Omega APE apart even further is its growing role in post-treatment nutrition. Cancer patients—often struggling with muscle loss, low appetite, and inflammation—benefit from Omega APE’s easy-to-consume, nutrient-rich blend.

Jennifer and her team are currently exploring partnerships with cancer foundations and hospitals to expand support for individuals recovering from chemotherapy and radiation nationwide.

“We know what it means to rebuild from the inside out,” Jennifer says. “Omega APE was born to help heal—and we’re ready to do that wherever it’s needed.”

A Recipe That Started With Love

At its heart, Omega APE is still rooted in the same values that launched it in 2017: care, performance, and purpose. With a loyal customer base and fast-growing product line—including drop-shippable nutrient-rich pastries—Jennifer Villarreal is proving that wellness doesn’t have to be compromised for taste, and recovery doesn’t have to be generic.

As she expands into major markets, she’s also expanding a vision—where every sip helps someone become stronger, inside and out.
