Background

BodyArmor is an American sports-drink brand created in 2011 by Mike Repole and Lance Collins. The Coca-Cola Company bought a minority stake in the summer of 2018 and acquired the remaining 85% in November 2021, making BodyArmor a wholly owned Coca-Cola brand positioned above Powerade; the two were later brought together in Coca-Cola's sports-hydration portfolio. No donation, in-kind gift, sponsorship, investment or statement of support for Israel, its government or its military has been documented for the BodyArmor brand, and no Israeli distribution, bottling or retail presence for BodyArmor was found either: the brand's own history page dates its international expansion to 2023 without naming Israel, and Coca-Cola's Israeli franchisee, the independent Central Bottling Company, lists its exclusive portfolio as Coca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta, Fuze Tea and Kinley — BodyArmor is not among them. Parent-level facts sit on the Coca-Cola page: the 1966 decision to grant an Israeli franchise days after the Anti-Defamation League accused the company of bowing to the Arab boycott, the 1997 Israel Trade Award, and The Bridge startup programme co-founded in Tel Aviv in 2014. The Coca-Cola Company denies donating to Israel, saying it "does not support any country, government or policy," and Snopes has rated false the viral claim that it sends profits to Israel. The BDS movement's official page lists Coca-Cola only as an "organic boycott" target and does not name BodyArmor. Our records are a floor, not a ceiling: absence of evidence here means nothing was found in the sources logged below on the dates shown.

What we checked

• News & official statements — 2026-07-30
  English and Hebrew searches (Israeli business press, trade press, Coca-Cola newsroom) found no donation, sponsorship, statement or campaign concerning Israel attributed to BodyArmor, and no report of BodyArmor being imported, bottled or sold in Israel; coverage is confined to the US sports-drink market and Coca-Cola's 2018 and 2021 transactions.
• Nonprofit tax filings (Form 990) — 2026-07-30
  BodyArmor has no charitable foundation of its own; US giving runs through The Coca-Cola Foundation Inc. (EIN 58-1574705, Atlanta), reviewed at parent level, and no grant there is attributable to the BodyArmor brand or to an Israeli recipient.
• SEC filings — 2026-07-30
  BodyArmor is not a separate SEC filer; disclosures fall under The Coca-Cola Company (CIK 21344), whose FY2024 Exhibit 21.1 subsidiaries list contains no Israeli entity at all — so there is no BodyArmor or other Coca-Cola subsidiary in Israel.
• Federal election records (FEC) — 2026-07-30
  An FEC committee search for "BodyArmor" returns no committee; US political money runs through The Coca-Cola Company Nonpartisan Committee for Good Government (C00012468) at parent level, with no disbursement attributable to the BodyArmor brand.
• Independent fact-checkers — 2026-07-30
  Snopes has rated false the long-running claim that Coca-Cola donates profits or days of income to Israel, and the company's own FAQ denies supporting any country or government; no fact check names BodyArmor. The BDS movement's official page lists Coca-Cola under "organic boycott" and does not name BodyArmor.
