Carnosine
Carnosine is a naturally occurring dipeptide found in tissues including skeletal muscle. Research using oral beta-alanine or other routes offers biological context, but should not be presented as direct proof for LactiGo.
Independent Ingredient Guide
What LactiGo's highlighted ingredients can—and cannot—tell you
Ingredients can make a formula plausible. They cannot, on their own, establish the absorption, dose or outcome of the finished topical product.
Magnesium
Magnesium is important in normal physiology. Evidence about dietary adequacy does not prove that a topical formula prevents exercise cramps or fatigue.
Menthol
Menthol can activate cold-sensitive receptors and create a cooling feeling. A sensory effect is different from treating inflammation, injury or the cause of pain.
Formula check: confirm the full ingredient list, concentration where disclosed, allergens, warnings and intended-use directions on the exact product you receive.
Four common evidence mistakes
Using oral research for a topical claim.
Route, dose and absorption may differ substantially.
Using an ingredient paper for a finished formula.
Other ingredients and formulation affect delivery and use.
Equating cooling with recovery.
Feeling different is not the same as demonstrating a performance or healing outcome.
Treating a patent as clinical proof.
Patents concern novelty and intellectual property, not guaranteed efficacy.
Next step
After reviewing the formula, examine whether published studies tested the exact product for the claim that matters to you.
