Determination of the optimal dose and dosing strategy for effective l-menthol oral rinsing during exercise in hot environments
The optimal dose of L-menthol when delivered via oral rinsing is between 0.01 and 0.1%. At lower concentrations, L-menthol appears to be less effective and at higher concentrations (> 0.5%) L-menthol appears to elicit greater irritation and may not positively modulate thermo-behaviour during exercise in a hot environment.
