NY Times article about ibuprofen use and exercise

I hadn't seen that question but I too sometimes have that same feeling.

I am not anti-supplements, not by a longshot. I just wish there were more regulations for them to prove safety and efficacy and more regulations to govern the manufacture to ensure that you are getting what you think you are getting.

Guess it's a good thing my doc made me stop my 4 Advil every 4-6 hours habit.

Very interesting article! Gabe Mirkin picked it up in his e-zine this morning too. I have been taking ibuprofen before our weekly long ride to help with my SI joint issues since my bike accident in 2005. Sometimes I forget, and there really seems to be no correlation between taking ibu and my hip feeling better or worse on a ride. Now I know why. I won't take it again.

That sort of reminds me of when my sister couldn't get her 7 year old daughter to take the calcium supplements her doctor told her to take, so my sister decided to just give her like 5 multivitamins a day to make up for it...

Luckily, my sister told the doctor at some point she'd done that, who promptly freaked.
