Topical application of isolated menthol and combined menthol‐capsaicin creams: Exercise tolerance, thermal perception, pain, attentional focus and thermoregulation in the heat

Abstract: We determined the effects of topically applied (i) isolated menthol cream, (ii) menthol and capsaicin co-application or (iii) placebo cream on exercise tolerance, thermal perception, pain, attentional focus and thermoregulation during exercise in the heat. Ten participants cycled at 70% maximal power output until exhaustion in 35°C and 20% relative humidity after application of (i) 5% isolated menthol, (ii) 5% menthol and 0.025% capsaicin co-application or (iii) placebo cream. Thermo-physiological responses we… Show more

“…These natural compounds, similar to limonene, are obtained from plants [65][66][67] and are monoterpenes known for their unique aromatic, therapeutic properties [65,[67][68][69]. In turn, due to structural similarity, thymol is often discussed with menthol [70][71][72], a monoterpene resembling hydrogenated thymol, found, e.g., in mint [73], which also has numerous applications [74][75][76]. Interestingly, menthol can be formed from limonene through enzymatic reactions during the monoterpene biosynthetic pathway in peppermint [77].…”
