is there a big difference between having 3.5% menthol as opposed to 4% menthal

No major difference in Active Ingredients. The inactive ingredients may have slightly different formulas.

Not that I could tell. I just found that the Biofreeze didn't help me much. Plus it smelled a lot and I had a hard time removing it from my hands once I washed them with plenty of soap.

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.

I didn't notice anything different but relief. We love this product and use it lots, takes or minimizes the ache or pains.

I do not have a "correct" answer for this. I have not noticed much of a difference. However, perhaps it's just because it's a different batch.

I just looked at the label. There is no indication of the menthol percentage. Just "100% pure peppermint oil."

I don't know how much menthol it contains. When I use it my feet feel better for several hours. I like to use it before I go to bed at the end of the day when my feet are tired and aching. This takes that all away.

Hello...it's no difference in the size....trust me, the 3.3oz is a very good size that last a long time.

No difference. I felt no difference as well and for that reason I stopped buying. Price is too high and company offers no special discounts when buying more than one bottle.

The herbal menthol (green box) is fine although not as good as the licorice. The black current is too sweet.

A WHOLE lot cheaper. You can get approximately 64 servings out of the 4.9 lb. The RTD's are a little better tasting sometimes but not worth the cost difference IMO. I would buy a small container 1st to see if you like it. If you like it then buy the big container to save money. I mix mine with Almond Milk (Original) and it's really good. You can mix with water and regular milk if you like.

Yes, just discovered there an advantage to using the 5% instead of just twice as much 2%. Reason would only be if using topically (vs orally).- I am noticing that only so much Iodine gets absorbed into certain infections, so a 5% strength will be more potent.

Yes it has a slight menthol smell but it goes away in just a few minutes, if feels like a cool feeling. It works for me.

The more expensive one has MSM in it which is for joint health. I use one or the other and cannot see any difference. I decided I'd rather purchase the less expensive one because of that. There doesn't appear to be any difference in the lotion as far as texture or thickness. I get good results from both as far as the magnesium in them. It helps leg cramps at night.

not sure exactly, 20 or so i think, but its generally as much as a regular pack of cigarettes is. maybe a little more. the menthold flavor tastes pretty much like menthol cigarettes. definately different but theyre the best if you like menthol (i don't lol)

I have a BPHT02 and it has a 40oz jar. In the slow speed you have to hold the pulse switch down to continue blending. Not a big deal! Checked them both out - can't find any difference!

Not a lot of menthol smell here. I don't know what your interpretation of and old mans smell is. This lotion has a sweet smell and is too sweet for my taste in aftershave lotion. I don't know what you like. Some times you just have to take a chance and if you don't like it, pass it on to a friend or relative.

Well, I can only speak from personal experience. Yes. I have used tea tree and breathe easy essential oil. Just know that the unit comes with pads in an enclosed pouch with the menthol already added (so you just put the pad in and it's ready to go). What I did was waited until my pad got older and the menthol scent faded out...then I added my essential oil. I know you can buy seperate pads at Walmart, but I'm not sure if they are filled with the menthol (which is pretty strong). Or you can buy the makeup pads and cut them and use them to absorb your essential oil. I like the unit though. It has a lot of potential:-)! Well, I can only speak from personal experience. Yes.

The difference is in the fragrance, the green is eucalyptus and menthol. I use this one everyday and really like it.

4% Menthol. It really does work for relieving pain. DON'T APPLY THIS IF YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE SUN FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME BECAUSE YOU CAN BLISTER. My husband found this out but was save from blistering when I washed this off with cold water and mild soap. Be careful!
