My Cryogel review

Cryogel's website

I've had this stuff now for 2 weeks and some odd days...Mike (the owner) is a kick ass guy...he sent me a ton of samples...and well after two weeks of using them...I think I'm finally ready to write a review.

I'll begin with the fact that Cryogel comes in 3 choices...Original Blue, Lavender Breeze Aromatherapy, and Island Rain Antioxidant.

For the most part, they all have the same core of ingredients as far as I can tell, with minor differences in ingredients for fragrance purposes and what not. This isn't your grandfather's Ben-Gay or Icy Hot folks...this stuff doesn't smell like a medicine factory and it works....

And WORK it does......rubbing this on my back, legs and arms after rolling on the mat for 60-90 minutes is the best way to recover after a hard night of training. It kicks in within 30 - 45 seconds after rubbing it on and it feels like having a ice pack right on your muscles/tendons/joints. A "oh so nice" feeling....very relaxing. So after 2 weeks of using this stuff pretty much after everytime I roll/train, I can say it works rather well. It hit's the target areas and allows me to sleep through the night without muscle cramp and wake up the following morning without pain.

This product definitely has my seal of approval!

I have been using it for a bout a week now and I have to say that I never used Tiger Balm or Ben-gay because of the smell. THis stuff is great, smells good and works well.

Mike-Thanks for the samples and now lets talk about me carrying your products.

Where can you get trial samples? I've used everything from the muay thai linaments, tiger balm, bengay, icey hot to what I use currently, Capzasin, recommended by my sports doc for muscle pain. Capzasin is the stuff found in hot peppers. When you put it on, its like being hit with a low dosage of pepper spray. Hehehe, it gets really warm, but doesn't smell like medicine.
