Study: acetaminophen and ibuprofen reduce exercise efectiveness

[big_boy_1]

According to the following study:

http://jcem.endojournals.org/cgi/content/full/86/10/5067

acetaminophen and ibuprofen reduce exercise efectiveness, by decreasing prostaglandin biosynthesis.

Pretty logical from ibuprofen and other NSAID antinflamatories, but surprising from acetaminophen.

I will have to look for something else, as i take acetaminophen to relieve steroid induced headaches...

ibuprofen and acetaminophen will destroy recovery in a heartbeat. Stay away from that shit. Secondly, if you are getting headaches your overdoing sothing bro, don't mask it with pain killers.

How about asprin?

 

[TraxZBT]

certainly will. Its been discussed with great detail in the avant forums. Aspirin, from what i've read, is ok.

That sucks, a buddy of mine takes 1000mg of ibuprofin before his workouts.
I'll pass it on to him.

Ibuprofen is great but only in times of true need

Yeah my thoughts too. Is aspirin ok?
