About the effects of the ingredients

Apitox-like: The name Apitox is derived from the Latin "apis" (bee) and the Greek "toxikon" (poison/venom). Bee venom is known as one of the most effective natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic substances. Bee venom consists of nearly 30 biologically active substances. Its main anti-inflammatory components are melittin, apamin, adolapin, phospholipase, and hyaluronidase. Nowadays, bee venom is widely used for the prevention and treatment of arthritis, rheumatism, lumbago, inflammation, arthrosis, and other degenerative musculoskeletal diseases. Furthermore, when applied topically, bee venom exerts a long-lasting effect and significantly reduces muscle pain, heals sprains, bruises, ligament strains, and general sports injuries. The apitox-like active ingredient found in the product has a composition similar to bee venom, is toxin-free, and has a positive effect on skin tissue. Its benefits are identical to those of apitoxin (bee venom). Another advantage is that—although gentle and modern technologies are available today for "milking" bee venom—the use of an apitoxin-like active ingredient also avoids any harm or death to bees, thereby protecting the balance of the ecosystem.

Chondroitin sulfate: The perfect "lubricant" for joints and cartilage, it is one of the main components of cartilage. It possesses excellent water-binding capacity, thus ensuring the elasticity of cartilage. In the case of joint diseases, the chondroitin sulfate content of the cartilage decreases significantly, flexibility is reduced, cartilage degeneration develops, and joint function is impaired. Chondroitin sulfate can assist in increasing proteoglycan and collagen synthesis and may enhance hyaluronic acid production. Its application can reduce or even stop the further wear of cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate can contribute to maintaining joint health, help in the healing of damaged bones, and reduce joint pain and inflammation. It strengthens cartilage and increases the elasticity of connective tissues.

Glucosamine HCL: Similar to chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine also supports the cartilage in the body's joints. Cartilage wear is more common in those performing heavy physical labor, the overweight, and athletes, which can lead to knee, elbow, shoulder, and back pain. Glucosamine helps with the hydration of cartilage, which is important because cartilage tissue lacks its own blood supply and can only receive necessary nutrients through water-rich tissues. Glucosamine prevents further damage to cartilage by providing a form of "lubrication": each glucosamine molecule helps hydrate cartilage tissue by binding three water molecules, thus potentially slowing down the cartilage degeneration processes in patients with arthrosis. Inflammatory-painful symptoms may decrease, and damaged cartilage stock may gradually regenerate or reform.

Devil's Claw Root Extract (Harpagophytum procumbens root extract): Devil's claw is an anti-inflammatory, analgesic active ingredient that helps reduce swelling. It resolves stiffness in muscles and joints as well as muscle cramps, making movement pain-free. It refreshes the body and helps eliminate the feeling of fatigue. When used in creams and gels, devil's claw is mostly used for back pain, rheumatic diseases, tendonitis (e.g., tennis elbow), lumbago, sciatica, osteoarthritis, joint diseases, and sports injuries.

Capsaicin, extracted from the fruit of the Chili Pepper (Capsicum Frutescens), effectively reduces the sensation of pain by influencing the mechanism of action of Substance P, which plays a role in transmitting pain signals to the brain. In the skin, capsaicin first triggers a local inflammation, which, with continuous use, turns into the exact opposite, i.e., an anti-inflammatory effect. With prolonged use, the treated area becomes desensitized to pain, making its therapeutic application increasingly widespread due to its excellent analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. It effectively relieves nerve, muscle, and joint pain, as well as neuropathic pain. In the case of rheumatic complaints, it can help reduce the deposits and inflammation that cause pain. A cream containing capsaicin can mitigate pain caused by the overloading of the musculoskeletal system. It also provides an excellent remedy in cases of sprains, arthritis, increased pain sensitivity, or deep muscle pain.

Eucalyptol, also known as cineole, is the main component of eucalyptus oil. It is traditionally used as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent. It is effective in mitigating joint and muscle pain associated with numerous diseases or pathological conditions. Direct application to the skin can also reduce swelling. It has a cooling effect on muscles and joints.

Honey extract: Honey is well-known for having anti-microbial properties, as well as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and it also nurtures and hydrates the skin.

Menthol: Menthol is the main component of the peppermint plant. Peppermint, which is both a culinary herb and a medicinal plant, belongs to the Lamiaceae family. Peppermint contains 0.5-4% menthol essential oil. Its effects: antispasmodic, soothing, cooling, and astringent.
