The Biofreeze I and some others use has 3.5% menthol.
It is in a special gel which really penetrates and works.
The new Precise cream by Tylenol company, has 9% menthol and does NOTHING for me....
I think the special non greasy gel is the secret of Biofreeze.
It also has Ilex extract in it which is a powerful anti-oxidant.
(Ilex is also called Yerba Mate ..a popular tea like drink in S.America.)
It once was only available from Chiros and PTs, but now you can buy it easily. Amazon has it and many other places on the net very reasonably priced.
