Watching this youtube-video I asked myself if Ueli Steck is using some kind of regeneration creme.

Most likely nobody will know for sure from the footage but I would be really interested what tricks the experts like Steck have for enhancing the regeneration.

I asked Ueli Steck as @fgysin suggested and got the following answer:

It is "Sportusal Spray". This is a spray stimulating the blood flow.

For more information have a look at the medication here:

  • Hi Wills! I don't want to write a conflicting answer because you spoke directly to the company, but they only told you part of the story. As we can see on the linked page, more than anything, it's a pain-relieving and body soothing med. It's one of the reasons athletes use it. The main ingredient, DMSO, is a pain reliever that was developed in the 1950s. My dad was a doctor on that original team, and we used it when we were kids. Do you want me to write an answer based on what it says on that web page, and others, or would you prefer I leave this alone?
