The Original gel, which the store also lists as Regular, has a product page that prints water, glycerin, carnosine, magnesium sulfate, ethoxydiglycol, phenoxyethanol, xanthan gum, caprylyl glycol and sorbic acid. LactiGo's FAQ lists seven for its no-menthol gel, without the last two. No page or label states how much carnosine or magnesium sulfate either gel holds; the March 2026 label lists both as inactive ingredients with no strength.
Carnosine is a compound of beta-alanine and histidine, per NOW Foods' product page, and LactiGo's FAQ says the raw materials for its carnosine come from corn.
LactiGo's studies page links third-party papers under carnosine and magnesium headings; its own notice says they are not a direct study of any LactiGo product. The 2025 study of the gel had seven players and support from Hong Kong Baptist University, and it notes that no carnosine was measured in serum, interstitial fluid or muscle. See does LactiGo work.
Menthol strength: 1.25% or 1.5%
LactiGo's Menthol product pages list menthol 1.25%, and DailyMed's September 2024 label agrees for the 100 ml and 946 ml bottles. DailyMed's March 2026 label lists menthol 1.5% for a 946 ml pump bottle under a different product code, the National Drug Code (NDC) printed on the package. Read the strength printed on your package.
What the drug label adds
A drug label is the over-the-counter label that sets a product's stated use and warnings. DailyMed, the US National Library of Medicine's database, holds two for the Menthol gel. Each names menthol as the active ingredient, and the March 2026 label gives the purpose as topical analgesic.
Both labels say not more than 3 to 4 times daily and not on wounds or damaged skin. The March 2026 label adds irritated skin and a heating pad and says not to use the gel on children under 2; the September 2024 label says to consult a doctor for children under 2.
The Original gel has no drug label on DailyMed. LactiGo's store notice says: "These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration." The warnings are set out in is LactiGo safe.
Which gel, or Biofreeze, fits which buyer
Pick the Original gel for a gel with no menthol and no drug label. Pick the Menthol gel for menthol at 1.25% on its product page, with a drug label. Pick Biofreeze for a gel whose label lists menthol at 4%. A buyer who wants carnosine or magnesium amounts will not find them on any LactiGo page; what is LactiGo explains the two gels.
LactiGo's store pages show a 30-day money-back guarantee for a first order of one bottle, which leaves time to read the label on the package you receive.
