What's inside
every product.

Every ingredient we use has a reason to be there. No fillers, no shortcuts — just functional natural compounds that your body recognises and uses.
Energy · Base ingredient
Mountain Honey

Honey is the foundation of everything BeeVigor makes. For millions of years, it has been one of the most bioavailable sources of natural energy on earth — a precise blend of fructose and glucose that delivers both immediate and sustained fuel to working muscles.

Unlike synthetic sugars, honey is easily digested and gentle on the stomach, making it ideal for use during training and racing. Its natural antioxidant and antimicrobial properties also make it valuable in our cosmetic formulations for skin nourishment and protection.

Mountain Honey
Astragalus
Immunity · Recovery
Astragalus

Astragalus membranaceus is a perennial plant from the Fabaceae family, used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. Its root is one of the most researched adaptogens in the world — a compound that helps the body resist physical and mental stress.

For athletes, astragalus is particularly valuable for its immunostimulant and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps strengthen the immune system during periods of intense training, supports cardiovascular health and promotes faster recovery after competition.

Energy · Focus
Guaranà

Guaranà (Paullinia cupana) is a climbing plant native to the Amazon basin. Its seeds contain one of the highest natural concentrations of caffeine found in any plant — but unlike synthetic caffeine, guaranà releases energy gradually due to its complex tannin structure.

This makes guaranà ideal for sustained athletic performance — providing mental clarity and physical energy without the sudden crash associated with coffee or energy drinks. It also contains theobromine and theophylline, which further support endurance and focus.

Guaranà
Ginseng
Energy · Adaptogen
Ginseng

Panax ginseng is one of the most studied and respected medicinal plants in the world. Used for over 2,000 years in Asian traditional medicine, it is classified as an adaptogen — a natural compound that helps the body adapt to physical and mental stress.

For athletes, ginseng supports both physical endurance and mental performance. It helps reduce perceived exertion during exercise, supports immune function during heavy training periods and promotes faster recovery through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity.

Recovery · Nutrition
Spirulina

Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is a blue-green microalgae and one of the most nutrient-dense natural foods on earth. It contains up to 70% complete protein by dry weight — more than meat, fish or legumes — along with vitamin B12, iron, magnesium, beta-carotene and powerful antioxidants.

For athletes, spirulina supports energy production, accelerates recovery after intense exercise and helps maintain strong immune function during periods of heavy training. Its high iron content is particularly valuable for endurance athletes prone to deficiency.

Arnica Montana
Cosmetics · Anti-inflammatory
Arnica

Arnica montana is a perennial alpine plant native to the mountain regions of Europe, including the Alps and Apennines. It has been used for centuries as a topical remedy for bruises, muscle soreness and inflammation — and modern science has confirmed its effectiveness.

The active compounds in arnica — helenalin and other sesquiterpene lactones — inhibit inflammatory pathways, reduce swelling and relieve pain when applied topically. For athletes, arnica is one of the most effective natural tools for post-exercise recovery and injury prevention.

Energy · Metabolism
Vitamins B

The B vitamin group comprises eight essential water-soluble vitamins that play a central role in cellular energy metabolism. Without adequate B vitamins, the body cannot efficiently convert carbohydrates, fats and proteins into usable energy — making them critical for athletic performance.

For athletes, B vitamins support red blood cell production for better oxygen delivery, maintain nervous system function for coordination and focus and reduce fatigue during prolonged effort. Vitamin B12 is particularly important for vegetarian and vegan athletes who may be at risk of deficiency.

B
C
Immunity · Antioxidant
Vitamin C

Ascorbic acid is one of the most important water-soluble antioxidants in the human body. It protects cells from oxidative stress — which increases significantly during intense physical exercise — and plays a critical role in collagen synthesis for healthy joints, tendons and skin.

For athletes, vitamin C supports immune function during periods of heavy training when the body is most vulnerable to illness, enhances iron absorption for better endurance and helps reduce exercise-induced muscle damage through its powerful antioxidant activity.

Recovery · Immunity
Zinc

Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the human body. It is critical for protein synthesis, immune function, DNA production and wound healing — all processes that are significantly accelerated during and after intense athletic training.

Athletes are particularly susceptible to zinc deficiency due to losses through sweat. Low zinc levels impair immune function, slow recovery and can reduce testosterone production in male athletes. Maintaining adequate zinc is essential for consistent training and performance.

Zn
Camphor
Cosmetics · Circulation
Camphor

Camphor is a natural compound extracted from the wood of the Cinnamomum camphora tree. It has been used for centuries as a topical remedy for muscle pain, joint stiffness and poor circulation — and its effectiveness is well supported by modern research.

When applied to the skin, camphor produces a characteristic warming sensation followed by a mild cooling effect. It stimulates local blood circulation, relieves muscle tension and has mild analgesic properties — making it a valuable ingredient in both pre-race preparation and post-race recovery products.

Cosmetics · Cooling
Mint

Menthol — the active compound in mint — produces a powerful cooling sensation when it contacts the skin by activating cold-sensitive receptors without actually lowering temperature. This makes it one of the most effective natural ingredients for post-exercise cooling and refreshing skin care.

In our sport cosmetics, mint extract helps reduce the sensation of heat and fatigue after intense effort, soothes tired muscles and has mild antiseptic properties that protect the skin during training. It also provides a refreshing and energising sensory experience.

Mint
Hypericum
Cosmetics · Pain relief
Hypericum

Hypericum perforatum — commonly known as St. John's Wort — is a flowering plant with powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Its active compounds, hypericin and hyperforin, have been shown to inhibit inflammatory enzymes and reduce pain when applied topically.

In sports cosmetics, hypericum oil is used for its ability to relieve muscle pain and nerve inflammation, accelerate healing of minor skin lesions and provide antioxidant protection to stressed skin. It is particularly effective for athletes dealing with chronic overuse injuries and tendon pain.

Cosmetics · Soothing
Calendula

Calendula officinalis is a flowering plant in the daisy family, known for its exceptional skin-soothing and regenerative properties. Its flowers contain flavonoids, triterpenes and polysaccharides that work together to calm irritated skin, reduce inflammation and accelerate cellular regeneration.

For athletes, calendula is particularly valuable for protecting and restoring skin that is regularly exposed to friction, sweat and environmental stress. It helps prevent chafing, soothes post-race skin irritation and supports the natural healing process of minor abrasions and blisters.

Calendula
Milk Thistle
Detox · Liver support
Milk Thistle

Silybum marianum — milk thistle — is one of the most well-researched hepatoprotective plants in the world. Its active compound, silymarin, has been shown to protect liver cells from damage, stimulate the regeneration of damaged liver tissue and reduce inflammation.

For athletes, liver health is often overlooked but critical — the liver is responsible for metabolising nutrients, filtering toxins and producing the enzymes needed for energy production. Milk thistle helps maintain optimal liver function during periods of intense training and high supplement use.

Recovery · Minerals
Magnesium

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for athletic performance — involved in over 300 metabolic reactions including energy production, protein synthesis and muscle contraction. It is also the most commonly depleted mineral in athletes due to losses through sweat.

Low magnesium levels cause muscle cramps, fatigue, poor sleep quality and reduced recovery. Replenishing magnesium after intense exercise is essential for maintaining performance, preventing injury and supporting the nervous system during periods of high training load.
