Red System

Sportsbalm's Red System comprises of four different muscle warming gels and balms, each of which possess a specific application, suited to cold and wet weather conditions.

Rub Down Gel ( mild )
Medium Balm
Hot Balm

Each product in Sportsbalm's Red System contains ingredients specifically selected to warm the muscles and tendons, keeping them functionally optimally, even in extreme weather conditions. The active ingredients penetrate deep into the skin, without the risk of irritation or redness, as blood is not taken to the upper layers of the skin. This allows for optimal functioning of oxygen and nutrients, plus the excretion of waste products (CO2). Blood circulation and redistribution to the active muscles is therefore enhanced, preparing both the targeted muscles and connective tissues for activity.

All of the products in Sportsbalm's Red System product line create a long lasting, warming effect, giving the skin a breathable layer through which the skin can optimally function without clogging the pores.

Sportsbalm´s Red System product line uses a mixed base of pharmaceutical grade vaseline and pharmaceutical white oil, ensuring optimally functioning ingredients and therefore successful results. Through, thorough application, the unique blend of ingredients work continuously, protecting the skin, muscles and underlying tissues from cold and wet weather conditions.

Application : Massage thoroughly Rub Down Gel thoroughly into the desired muscles 15 – 30 minutes before exercise. Rub Down Gel works optimally between 50°f and 59°f.
