No it is not. I bought it thinking it was the same or close to it. It is not as good as Biofreeze, but it works better for me than Ben Gay or something similar to that. The Fast freeze works alright for me, I have RA so i have tried about everything. But if you like Biofreeze this is not as strong and it doesn't seem to last as long as biofreeze. Hope this helps.

The active ingredients list on the roll-on bottle says it contains: herbal extract (ilex paraguariensis) I hope the spelling of that last word is correct - the print is so small I had difficulty making out the letters. If you've never used Biofreeze it is AMAZING stuff! Whether it's stiff muscles, arthritis and just plain old age aches and pains it works wonderfully! Calms nerves and muscle spasms AND restless legs and allows you to rest comfortably. I hope this has been helpful to you. Good Luck!

Janice, you will probably have to request an MSDS [Material Safety Date Sheet] to come close to knowing what this manufacturer/supplier's percentage of menthol might be. You can conduct a test yourself if you have access to a school laboratory, but you probably don't want to invest the time. If ethical, this vendor "SHOULD" respond to your question...instead, thus far, Amazon is reaching out to customers like myself...who did not manufacture the product, to answer your question. Odd, Yes? By law, you have a right to receive the MSDS sheet when requested. You might also inquire what carrier oil is used. I notice that is not listed by the manufacturer either.

Not real familiar with Perform, but on researching looks like they are very similar. I like Biofreeze because it works well and once absorbed is virtually greaseless and works quite well

Yes it has a cooling effect, it has 2-Methyl in it. Not sure if that is the same as menthol but it's a nice soft fragrance.

There are 3.0 oz in each rollon bottle and 3.5 percent active ingrediant is natural menthol.

Yes. I only purchase bio-freeze. I looked up my order and it said 32 oz BioFreeze, pump.

Well it says to use 1 ounce per gallon but I used the whole bottle and a 70% water,30%coolant mix but you can use 50/50.Although as a mechnic depending on your location if its hot like Florida but never goes below freezing.I always say use this product with a 70/30 mix but somewhere where temps get warm and go below freezing uses 50/50 and 1 bottle of this product

3.5% natural menthol is only active ingredient. You can get the long list of inactive ingredients by calling 1-800-633-8460. I found Biofreeze from my chiropractor and it is by far the best pain reliever out there.

This is what I found in looking for the answer to your question. Biofreeze uses an herb called Ilex. This herb is extracted from a holly plant in South America and then shipped to Pennsylvania to be made into Biofreeze. Ilex acts as an instant cold application and also helps the gel sink deeper through the skin's layers. http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4679702_biofreeze-work.html

Biotrue works pretty well for me. I bought a small 5 oz bottle to try it out and it's been about a week. No issues. Ymmv

I purchased the 4 oz. tube which contains 3.5% Natural Menthol. (Please note: this was used for extreme pain after fracturing my wrist & arm, and was quite effective.)

I've used biofreeze in roll on and cream versions and they all provide that cooling menthol feel. I've never actually seen it advertised with reference with menthol.

To me, not a lot. the 4% will have a stronger smell but unsure how long the smell will last. This is gone in about five minutes. My wife uses in her office 3-5 times a day and after a few minutes people come in and never know she has used it.For pain? I really do not know. It should help some. If I could get Biofreeze w/ 4% I would but any other product, I do not know.

Camphor 1.2%, Menthol 5.7%, Methyl Salicylate 6.3%, as per box label. All are topical analgesics.
