Cool-X Cold gel provides effective and safe treatment for muscle and joint pain. Treatment works similarly both in acute and chronic pain. Gel provides cooling and soothing relief for soft tissue and stress injuries, releases muscle tension and reduces inflammation.

Cool-X Cold gel decreases the skin temperature by approximately 5-7°C. Optimal cooling effect is achieved without risk of frost bites. The physical cooling effect of menthol and ethanol is smoother but lasts longer than with traditional cold therapy. Cold gel first slows down blood circulation, then after 15 minutes it starts to increase. This causes muscle relaxation and supports body’s self-healing system and enhances the recovery.

The pain relief is based on the cool and menthol sensitive receptor TRPM8 that belongs to the group of thermoreceptors which affect pain sensation and signaling.
When the gel is applied to the area to be treated, menthol decreases the skin temperature activating the TRPM8 receptor. The cooling effect of menthol is transmitted by the TRPM8 receptor. This receptor covers 15 % of all pain sensitive receptors. Pain and temperature information is transmitted to the central nervous system, spinal cord and brain via small nerve fibers. For example, tissue damage activates the nociceptors to send pain signals by peripheral nerves through the spinal cord to the brain.
Cool-X Cold Gel decreases the skin temperature. This activates the thermoreceptors (TRPM8 receptors) to transmit the sensation of cold via the same nerve fibers as the nociceptors. After the afferent information has been processed in the spinal cord and in the brain, pain becomes more controlled and tolerable.

Cool-X provides fast effect against the pain; however, the treatment requires usually several usages. If the reason for the pain is repetitive strain injury, cold gel provides relief for the pain but do not remove the root cause of the pain.

Cool-X Cold gel does not include medicines. That’s why cold gel can be used without treatment intervals or limitations.

No you don’t. It is sold over the counter.

The clinical efficacy of the cold gel is based purely on the effect of menthol and ethanol. The product also contains joint-friendly MSM (methylsulfonylmethane). However, the clinical evidence for the absorption of MSM is poor, and therefore the clinical evaluation has been focused only to its safe use in the product.

Allergic reactions are not common, but every skin is different so they could happen. In case of skin irritation, apply a body lotion to skin. Your skin will normalize shortly.

The fresh odour comes from menthol, active ingredient of the gel

Yes, in normal situations. However, if you have doubts consult your doctor before use

No, you cannot. Cold gel causes smart sensation when applied to broken or irritated skin.

No, there isn’t. Active ingredients are menthol and ethanol
