I - ??
Never heard of Vitamin I - thought they stopped when they got to Vitamin E.

me #103! i was thinking same thing - "Vit I.....should I be researching Vitamin I?" Thanks for the save! Although a word of note: My father was diagnosed with kidney disease that has been linked to long-term high dosage Ibuprofen. Due to his disease he can no longer use any drugs except Tylonel. Apparently, doctors prescribe high-dose (read 800-1000 mgs) I for surgeries, muscle damages etc etc and they are now learning it can lead to kidney disease.

What a Ride!"

wow, corsair, thanks for the tip! and the detail too! I usually limit my vit. i to only when there is acute pain indicating serious inflammation, and I usually only take one 200mg tablet, because I don't find it does much for pain management anyway, so why bother taking more? heh. I use high doses of calcium for all muscle related pain. it seems to work fabulously, I sleep like a baby, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't do much harm.
namaste,

I also have mixed results with Vitamin I. You can get them in 500mg tablets here and I only really take one when I'm desperate, but I find they work for some kinds of pain better than others.
Interesting info CorsairMac - people are popping them all the time over here. Some of my collegues will come into work a bit worse for wear from a night out and merrily pass the Ibruprofen round without a second thought. Not sure it's really designed as a hang over cure but doesn't seem to stop them. I guess if you're hung over and have to face a day at work then people will grab anything that might help.
LBTC - I'm not a medical professional of any kind but I believe excess calcium isn't too good for you. I think it's possible that it can build up in your kidneys. I might be wrong about this, so feel free anyone to put me right, but just a suspicion.
