Vigueur Introduction
Choosing a supplement starts with reading the label, and Vigueur Active makes that easy: every active ingredient except one is printed with its milligram amount. This guide goes through the label line by line so you know exactly what you are taking and why. The formula has two layers: two essential nutrients with recognised EU claims, and a 470 mg blend of amino acids and plant extracts.

Every active ingredient in Vigueur Active
Essential mineral
Zinc (as zinc oxide)
What it is. Zinc is a trace mineral your body cannot make. It is needed by more than 300 enzymes, including several involved in hormone production, protein synthesis and immune function. Zinc oxide is a widely used, stable supplemental form.
General role. Zinc carries official EU nutrition claims that match the product's purpose: it contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood, to normal fertility and reproduction, to normal cognitive function and to normal immune function. It also contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism.
Why it is in Vigueur Active. It is the single most important ingredient in the formula. At 11 mg per capsule, above the 10 mg reference intake, it provides a full daily amount instead of a token dose. Men who train hard or eat little red meat and shellfish are the most likely to fall short.
Vitamin
Vitamin B3 (as niacin)
What it is. Niacin is a water-soluble B vitamin. The body uses it to build NAD and NADP, two coenzymes involved in hundreds of reactions that release energy from carbohydrate, fat and protein.
General role. Niacin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal psychological function and to normal functioning of the nervous system.
Why it is in Vigueur Active. This is the energy side of the formula. The 20 mg dose covers 125% of the reference intake but stays well below the amounts associated with niacin flushing, which is why it is suitable for daily use.
Amino acid
L-Citrulline
What it is. L-citrulline is a non-essential amino acid first identified in watermelon. Unlike most amino acids, it is not used to build protein; instead it takes part in the urea cycle and is converted in the kidneys to L-arginine.
General role. L-arginine is the direct precursor of nitric oxide, a signalling molecule involved in normal blood-vessel function. Citrulline is often chosen over arginine in supplements because it is absorbed efficiently and raises arginine levels steadily.
Why it is in Vigueur Active. It supports the circulation-related side of the male vitality concept and is a staple of both sports and men's health formulas. The 150 mg dose is designed for daily background support, not for a pre-workout spike.
Amino-acid derivative
L-Carnitine
What it is. L-carnitine is made in the body from the amino acids lysine and methionine and is found in meat. Its main job is to transport long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane so they can be burned for energy.
General role. Because of that transport role, L-carnitine is widely used in products aimed at physical performance and endurance. It is concentrated in muscle tissue, including the heart.
Why it is in Vigueur Active. It is paired with L-citrulline at an equal 150 mg to cover the stamina goal of the product: energy for training and active days rather than stimulation.
Botanical extract
Pine bark extract (Pinus pinaster)
What it is. Pinus pinaster is the maritime pine that grows along the Atlantic coast of France. Its bark contains a dense mix of procyanidins, catechins and phenolic acids, and extracts of it are among the best-known botanical ingredients in Europe.
General role. Pine bark extract is a polyphenol source with a long history of use in supplements for men's vitality, often alongside L-arginine or L-citrulline.
Why it is in Vigueur Active. At 100 mg it is the largest botanical dose in the capsule and the natural partner to the L-citrulline in the blend.
Botanical extract
Maca root extract (Lepidium meyenii)
What it is. Maca is a root vegetable in the same family as broccoli and radish, grown at over 4,000 metres in the Peruvian Andes. It has been eaten as a staple food and used as a traditional tonic for centuries.
General role. Maca is one of the most recognisable ingredients in men's vitality supplements and is traditionally associated with stamina, drive and general vigour.
Why it is in Vigueur Active. It is one of the three ingredients named on the front of the label. The 50 mg extract gives the formula its traditional botanical identity.
Botanical extract
Mucuna pruriens extract
What it is. Mucuna pruriens, the velvet bean, is a tropical legume used for generations in Ayurvedic practice. Its seeds are a natural source of L-DOPA, an amino acid the body uses in the nervous system.
General role. Mucuna appears in many men's wellness and mood-support formulas because of that traditional use.
Why it is in Vigueur Active. It is included in the full ingredient list to complement the maca and zinc on the drive-and-well-being side of the formula. The label does not print its amount, so we do not state one.
Botanical extract
Grape skin extract (Vitis vinifera)
What it is. Red grape skins are one of the richest food sources of polyphenols, including resveratrol, anthocyanins and flavonols.
General role. Grape polyphenols are a familiar ingredient in wellness formulas where an antioxidant-rich botanical is wanted alongside amino acids and pine bark.
Why it is in Vigueur Active. A small 15 mg dose that complements the pine bark extract and broadens the polyphenol profile of the capsule.
Botanical extract
Saffron stigma extract (Crocus sativus)
What it is. Saffron is the dried stigma of the crocus flower, the most expensive spice in the world by weight. It has been valued in Mediterranean and Persian cooking and traditional practice for thousands of years.
General role. Saffron extract is used in modern supplements aimed at mood and general well-being, which fits the confidence side of the product's goals.
Why it is in Vigueur Active. The 5 mg amount is deliberately small; saffron is potent and only a precise dose is needed to complete the botanical profile.
Formula synergy: how the ingredients fit together
The design is easiest to see as three pairs. Zinc and maca cover normal testosterone maintenance and drive, one with an official claim and one with traditional use. Niacin and L-carnitine cover energy: the vitamin helps release energy from food and reduce tiredness, while carnitine helps deliver fat to be burned. L-citrulline and pine bark cover the circulation-related side of stamina and normal performance. Grape skin, saffron and Mucuna pruriens then broaden the botanical profile toward general well-being.
Because the nutrient doses are full but not extreme, and the botanical doses are moderate, the capsule is built to be taken every day for months, which is how these ingredients are meant to work. Our article on how Vigueur Active works follows this same logic in more depth.

Other ingredients
Beyond the actives, the label lists only four excipients:
- Vegetable capsule (hypromellose) – a plant-derived cellulose shell, suitable for vegetarians.
- Bulking agent (microcrystalline cellulose) – a plant fibre that fills the capsule evenly.
- Anti-caking agent (magnesium salts of fatty acids) – keeps the powder flowing during manufacture.
- Anti-caking agent (silicon dioxide) – prevents clumping.
There are no listed colourings, sweeteners, gelatin or artificial flavours.
