Clinical studies show Biofreeze beats ice cold.

Researchers recently completed a study on the effectiveness of two types of cold therapy – ice and Biofreeze Pain Reliever, a menthol-based topical analgesic – on muscle soreness that results from strenuous or unaccustomed exercise. The study concluded that:

• Biofreeze reduced muscle soreness 63% more than ice.
• Biofreeze reduced neck pain nearly twice as much as ice.
• Arthritic knee pain reduced 27-375 with Biofreeze.
• Low back pain was 75% better with Biofreeze.

Menthol, the active ingredient in Biofreeze, is considered to be a counter-irritant. The exact mechanism of menthol’s pain relief is not clear, but it’s believed that menthol stimulates temperature receptors in the skin that are associated with an analgesic (pain-relieving) effect.
